• Serve as the technical owner for ADX implementations, designing robust data infrastructure within Databricks to streamline client data onboarding and analytics
• Translate ambiguous client requirements into flexible, scalable technical solutions through deep discovery, prototyping, and iterative delivery
• Write production-quality Python code for ETL pipelines, API integrations, data validation frameworks, and automation tooling
• Lead technical workstreams end-to-end, from requirements gathering through production deployment, owning outcomes and client success
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Services teams to identify opportunities for productization and influence platform roadmap
• Develop internal tools, frameworks, and best practices that accelerate delivery across the broader team
• Effectively set, manage, and communicate technical expectations with both client stakeholders and internal cross-functional teams
• Prioritize and context-switch effectively across simultaneous client engagements, seeing each through to successful completion
• Act as a technical advisor and trusted partner to clients, proactively identifying opportunities to drive additional value
