This is a hands-on, senior role with ownership across architecture, design, and execution.

    Reporting and analytics modernization;
    Data validation, reconciliation, and quality controls.
  • Establish governance to ensure modernization efforts are consistent, auditable, and scalable.
  • Partner with distributed data teams to deploy and scale modernization patterns across environments.
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership while remaining engaged in execution.
Required Experience
  • 10+ years in data engineering and/or data architecture.
  • Proven track record of modernizing large-scale, complex, legacy data and reporting environments.
  • Hands-on experience migrating or modernizing Informatica-based data pipelines to modern platforms such as Databricks.
  • Demonstrated use of automation frameworks, accelerators, or AI-assisted tools to compress delivery timelines.
  • Hands-on experience with Azure, Cloudera, and Power BI.
  • Strong experience designing and operating ETL/ELT pipelines and analytics layers.
  • Deep understanding of data quality, lineage, reconciliation, and validation frameworks.
  • Experience working in large-scale or regulated enterprise environments.
Preferred Experience
  • Experience in payer, healthcare, or other regulated domains.
  • Experience designing solutions that support multi-environment scalability.
  • Exposure to GenAI tooling for code generation and automation.
  • Experience as a technical thought leader for new platform initiatives.
