Principal Forward-Deployed Architect, Data Modernization

Qualified Health

• Own the cross-platform reference architecture for the Modern Data Platform across Databricks, Snowflake, and Fabric — and evolve it as platforms and partners change • Serve as the engagement-embedded tech lead on the active engagement: architecture, design reviews, and hands-on build on the hardest parts • Lead technical discovery with prospective health system partners — assess source environments (Epic Clarity/Caboodle, Cogito on Cloud, Bulk FHIR, flat-file SFTP) and design a defensible target state • Lead and develop a team of platform-specialist Senior Data Engineers and a Cloud/Platform Engineer; set the technical bar • Review and approve all engineering deliverables — IaC, ingestion patterns, data sharing topology, security controls • Partner with the Engagement Manager and Field CDO to scope SOWs, defend timelines, and surface technical risk before it becomes schedule risk • Coordinate technical handoffs to the QH Platform team via Delta Sharing / Reader Account so AI workflows can be deployed against the modernized foundation • Maintain the technical engagement playbook and a library of accelerators so each engagement starts further along than the last • Carry the technical narrative in pre-sales: present to CTOs, CDOs, and enterprise architects; convert technical credibility into signed work

Job Requirements

  • 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
  • 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

Benefits

  • competitive salaries with equity packages
  • robust medical/dental/vision insurance
  • flexible working hours
  • hybrid work options
  • an inclusive environment that fosters creativity and innovation
