TL;DR · Senior Data Lakehouse Architect, Vice President

Senior Data Lakehouse Architect (Databricks), Vice President joins the Corporate Functions Technology team to design and lead the construction of a Legal Data Lakehouse platform on AWS and Databricks. This role involves building multi-layered data architectures, developing ETL/ELT pipelines using Spark, Python, and SQL, and creating scalable ingestion frameworks for structured and unstructured legal content like contracts and emails. The architect will implement governance via Unity Catalog and AWS-native controls while designing RAG architectures and LLM pipelines to support contract analytics and automated workflows. Key technical requirements include expertise in Databricks, Delta Lake, Terraform, and Git-based CI/CD pipelines. The role addresses the challenge of consolidating fragmented legal data into a secure, compliant foundation for eDiscovery, risk management, and AI-driven insights within a highly regulated environment requiring strict auditability and fine-grained access controls.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement the end-to-end Legal Data Lakehouse architecture using Databricks and AWS.
  • Develop ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest structured and unstructured legal data into Delta Lake.
  • Implement data governance, fine-grained access controls, and auditability using Unity Catalog and AWS security tools.
  • Architect data models and retrieval systems (RAG) to support legal AI and machine learning use cases.
  • Establish CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code for platform deployment and monitoring.
  • Translate complex legal requirements into scalable, enterprise-grade technical solutions.
  • Provide architectural oversight and mentorship to data engineering and platform teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical discipline.
  • 10+ years of experience in data architecture, engineering, or analytics platforms.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with Databricks and Apache Spark.
  • Expertise in AWS-based data platforms including S3, Glue, EMR, Lambda, Redshift, and IAM.
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and PySpark/Scala for building ETL/ELT pipelines.
  • Experience in data governance, security, and compliance within regulated environments using Databricks Unity Catalog and AWS controls.
  • Experience with unstructured data, NLP, document processing, and AI/ML workloads like RAG and LLM integration.
  • Preferred certifications include Databricks Certified Data Engineer/Architect or AWS Certified Solutions Architect.
