eNGINE has an immediate opening for a Senior Databricks Architect.

The primary focus of this role is identifying a senior-level architect with deep, hands-on experience delivering Databricks implementations. This individual will be highly technical, comfortable operating at a detailed execution level, and capable of designing and building robust data platforms in complex environments. Experience working within regulated or compliance-driven settings is preferred but not required. The ideal candidate combines strong technical depth with clear communication, decisiveness, and confidence, and frequently comes from an implementation-focused or consulting-style background.
