This role partners directly with the tax organisation and the DR COE to architect a medallion data platform, retire all Alteryx dependencies, establish SOX-compliant data infrastructure, and unlock AI-assisted tax analytics, compressing close cycles from days to hours and turning compliance from a manual exercise into a systematic, repeatable capability.\n\nResponsibilities: \nPlatform Architecture: Design and own the end-to-end Tax Intelligence data platform on Databricks, implementing the DR COE medallion architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold) using Delta Lake, Unity Catalogue, and Databricks Workflows.\nAlteryx Retirement: Lead the migration of 40+ Alteryx workflows to version-controlled, testable dbt models in GitLab. Translate complex tax transformation logic, including income tax provisions, deferred tax calculations, and jurisdiction models, into SQL-native dbt models with full CI/CD pipeline gates.\nSOX and Governance: Architect access controls, change management workflows, and audit trails that satisfy IT General Controls (ITGC) requirements. Enforce row-level and column-level security through Databricks Unity Catalogue, design segregation of duties across engineering and analyst roles, and ensure every tax figure is traceable end-to-end from source to reporting surface.\nData Modelling: Build and certify Silver and Gold layer data products: income tax provision, deferred tax roll-forward, effective tax rate (ETR) analysis, sales and use tax, and property tax. Define DBT data contracts, automated testing frameworks, and referential integrity checks across all layers.\nIngestion and Orchestration: Design ADF-based ingestion pipelines from ERP systems and source flat files into the Bronze Delta Lake layer. Orchestrate end-to-end pipeline execution using Databricks Workflows with auto-scaling compute and full monitoring.\nSemantic Layer and Reporting: Architect the Unity Catalogue semantic layer powering certified Power BI and Tableau dashboards, provision review, ETR analysis, and deferred tax rollforward. Ensure reporting surfaces are governed, certified, and auditor-ready.\nAI and ML Capabilities: Architect AI-assisted tax intelligence features on Databricks: ML-based anomaly detection for accrual variances (AutoML and MLflow); predictive tax accrual models (Feature Store and Delta Live Tables); natural language querying via Databricks Genie; and AI-generated audit narratives via Model Serving.\nStakeholder Partnership: Translate tax SME business requirements into data product specifications. Lead architectural reviews, drive UAT sign-off on certified data products, and communicate technical decisions to both engineering and executive audiences.\nStandards and Mentorship: Establish and enforce data architecture standards across the T-Finance Tax programme. Mentor data engineers on Databricks best practices, dbt modelling patterns, and DR COE reference architecture. Contribute to the broader T-Finance shared data infrastructure.\n\nRequirements: \n8+ years of experience in data architecture, data engineering, or a closely related field.\n5+ years of hands-on experience with Databricks Delta Lake, Unity Catalogue, Workflows, and SQL/Python notebooks.\nDeep dbt expertise: modelling patterns (staging, intermediate, and mart); testing frameworks; dbt docs; and CI/CD integration via GitLab or Azure DevOps.\nStrong SQL proficiency and solid Python skills for data transformation and pipeline development.\nDemonstrated experience designing and operating SOX-controlled data environments, including ITGC evidence requirements, access control design, and change management workflows.\nProven track record migrating legacy ETL tools (Alteryx, SSIS, Informatica, or equivalent) to modern, code-first, version-controlled data pipelines.\nExperience with the Azure data ecosystem: Azure Data Factory (ADF), Azure DevOps, and Azure Active Directory / Entra ID for identity and access.\nExperience architecting data products for finance, accounting, or tax domain business stakeholders.\nStrong ability to communicate complex technical architectures to non-technical audiences, including finance leadership and internal audit teams.\nFinance Data Intelligence.\nMaster Data Management (MDM).\nDistributed Event Streaming Platforms (Kafka).\nMicroservices Architecture.\nApache Airflow.\n\nNice to Have: \nDomain expertise in tax data: income tax provision, deferred tax calculations, effective tax rate (ETR) analysis, sales and use tax, or property tax.\nDatabricks certifications: Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate/Professional or Databricks Certified Associate Developer for Apache Spark.\nExperience with Databricks MLflow model registry, AutoML, Feature Store, or Delta Live Tables for ML pipeline development.\nPower BI or Tableau semantic layer design, certified datasets, row-level security, and self-service enablement for finance analysts.\nGitLab CI/CD pipeline design for data workloads, including automated regression testing and dev staging production promotion gates.\nFamiliarity with T-Mobile DR COE reference architecture, TISS-310 data classification standards, or T-Mobile QSR cybersecurity requirements.\nExperience with Databricks Genie or natural-language SQL interfaces for self-service analytics enablement.\nSkills\nDatabricks, SQL,
