Now we've expanded to offer early-stage innovation and ideation plus digital transformation business consulting. Our superpower is to deliver all of this under one roof on a global scale. So let's get started and build a better future together!\nWhat the role does here:\nReviews the current cloud environments: subscriptions, resource groups, networking, access and security models, workspace structure, compute patterns, storage, deployment, monitoring and cost controls;\nProduces reasoned recommendations on the platform path: modify the existing environments, build new ones, or take a phased hybrid approach, with risks, dependencies and cost considerations;\nDecides the number and purpose of workspaces and the catalog structure: where the line runs between environments, where between data domains, and how that interacts with permissions and cost;\nDesigns the target data architecture: raw, cleaned, curated and serving layers, a feature layer for models, ingestion, transformation, orchestration, semantic layer, reporting support;\nDefines naming, ownership, classification and lineage conventions, and the rules for granting access;\nDesigns the data security model: managed versus external tables, external locations and storage credentials, row filters and column masks, and a separate scope for external consumption;\nDefines the platform network model: deployment into a customer-managed virtual network, private access to storage and to the control plane, and removal of public exposure;\nBuilds the compute and cost model: cluster and warehouse types, policies, tags, spend forecasting and a chargeback mechanism;\nDesigns the production landing zone for the external application: an isolated subscription, virtual network, private endpoints, a separate tenant for external users, and dedicated container registry and secrets store;\nOwns application and integration architecture: service layer, data consumption, external authentication, perimeter protection, observability;\nProduces decision records, diagrams and a traceability matrix from requirements to deliverables; leads architecture reviews.\nMust have:\nDatabricks at platform rather than user level: the account and workspace split, metastores and catalogs, workspace strategy, environment isolation, and running the permission model in practice;\nUnity Catalog end to end: managed and external tables, external locations, row and column protection, lineage, system tables, and sharing data with external consumers;\nThe platform compute and consumption model: cluster and warehouse types, serverless options, policies, pools, tagging, spend analysis and forecasting.\nPlatform network isolation: customer-managed networking, private endpoints, removal of public access, storage-level restrictions, audit logging;\nMedallion architecture and semantic layer design for application and reporting consumption;\nIngestion approaches and how to choose between them: incremental file ingestion, streaming and declarative pipelines, change data handling, federated access without copying;\nDelivery and environment promotion: portable project bundles, source control integration, catalog parameterization, automated tests;\nAzure at design depth: App Service, Front Door and WAF, Key Vault, Container Registry, App Insights, Log Analytics, Entra ID;\nInfrastructure as code, preferably Bicep;\nExternal identity design: registration and invitation, MFA and conditional access, organization association, role-based access, account lifecycle, audit logging;\nA real practice of architecture review and written argument for decisions.\nNice to have:\nMigrating or consolidating multiple workspaces and metastores;\nRolling out Unity Catalog on an already running platform rather than greenfield;\nExternal customer portals with a separate tenant for external users;\nChange data capture and Oracle experience;\nPlatform cost modeling and cloud spend optimization;\nWorking alongside a client-side architect in an advisory capacity.\nSofteq communicates only from @softeq.com email addresses.
