Role Overview We are looking for a hands-on, senior Databricks Architect to design, build, and govern our Lakehouse data platform from the ground up. You will own the end-to-end architecture of our data infrastructure from raw ingestion through the Medallion layers to serving and establish the engineering standards that will guide the entire data organization. This is a highly strategic and technical role focused on driving adoption of Databricks, Unity Catalog, and contemporary Lakehouse patterns across all data products and pipelines. Key Responsibilities Lakehouse Architecture & Design Design and implement a production-grade Medallion Architecture (Bronze / Silver / Gold) across all data pipelines. Establish best practices for Delta Lake table design, partitioning strategies, Z-ordering, and optimization across large-scale datasets. Define data modeling standards and schema evolution policies across the Lakehouse. Architect end-to-end data flows from ingestion (streaming and batch) through transformation and serving layers. Unity Catalog & Data Governance Lead the setup, configuration, and rollout of Unity Catalog as the centralized governance layer for all data assets. Design metastore hierarchy, catalog/schema/table organization, and tagging standards. Implement fine-grained access control (row-level, column-level), data masking policies, and audit logging. Establish data lineage tracking and ensure end-to-end visibility across all pipelines. Define and enforce data classification and sensitivity frameworks for PII and regulated data assets. Pipeline Development & Orchestration Build and maintain production-grade data pipelines using Py Spark, Delta Live Tables (DLT), and Databricks Workflows / Jobs. Design modular, reusable pipeline patterns including incremental ingestion, CDC (Change Data Capture), and full-refresh strategies. Implement robust pipeline observability: logging, alerting, lineage tracking, and SLA monitoring. Leverage Databricks Repos for CI/CD i .
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
