Context:
We're working with a Databricks partner that embeds forward deployed data engineers and resident solution architects with their clients.
You’ll be deployed to client sites to steer, design, and implement Databricks projects including migrations and new data architecture designs.
You'd be deployed, working alongside the platform's field teams and the firm's own delivery pod - usually a group of two to five engineers from the consulting firm spread across a set of engagements. Most of these customers are businesses with large engineering teams, and you'd typically get rotated between engagements roughly every six months, so over a year or two you'd touch two or three different clients across industries like financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing. The work leans toward data architecture - designing, leading platform migrations, and being the technical advisor to stakeholders.
