About the role

The Staff / Principal Forward-Deployed Architect is the senior-most technologist in our Data Modernization Services function — and the single named architect across every engagement we run. You own the reference architecture that defines how we land an EHR-anchored, AI-ready data foundation on Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric , and you stay close enough to the work to ship code yourself when an engagement calls for it.

What they're looking for

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Master's preferred
  • 10+ years in data engineering, data platform architecture, or solutions architecture roles, with demonstrated technical leadership of multi-person teams
  • Hands-on production experience across at least two of Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric — and the technical curiosity and pattern-recognition to credibly own the third
  • Three or more enterprise lakehouse / cloud data platform implementations delivered in regulated industries
  • Deep cloud fluency, with Azure as the most common engagement substrate: networking, identity, key management, IaC (Terraform or Bicep), and observability
  • Client-facing experience leading executive technical conversations — comfortable in a room with a health system CTO, CDO, or CISO
