Job summary

360training is seeking a hands‑on data platform leader to modernize our data architecture and enable AI, analytics, and trusted reporting. You’ll shape a cloud data platform with Azure focus, leveraging Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake, Synapse, AWS, or similar tech to drive reliable data products.

The role blends architecture with hands‑on implementation, mentoring a data engineering team, and delivering scalable data solutions across reporting, data science, and AI‑enabled workflows.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in data engineering, data architecture, analytics engineering, or cloud data‑platform delivery.
• Experience serving as the technical authority for enterprise data platforms, balancing hands‑on delivery with mentoring, design reviews, and long‑term architectural direction.
• Hands‑on experience building or modernizing cloud data platforms using Azure, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake, Synapse, AWS, or similar technologies.
• Strong understanding of lakehouse, medallion, data warehouse, and data modeling patterns, including when dimensional modeling is useful and when it should not drive the entire architecture.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of modern cloud data‑platform capabilities, with a primary focus on Azure‑based architecture and delivery.
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of data engineers while establishing high standards for technical excellence and delivery.
• Provide technical leadership by making architectural decisions, mentoring engineers, reviewing designs, and driving best practices across the data platform.
• Establish practical patterns for ingestion, transformation, medallion‑style data layers, data quality, lineage, governance, security, testing, and consumption.
• Build scalable approaches for onboarding new sources, tables, columns, attributes, and acquired‑company data without creating brittle one‑off solutions.
• Create governed data products that can support Power BI, analytics, operational reporting, data science, AI search, summarization, predictive analytics, and future agent‑based workflows.
• Move business logic, metric definitions, and reusable transformations into governed, version‑controlled platform layers rather than scattered reports, spreadsheets, scripts, or stored procedures.
• Partner with BI, analytics, engineering, product, finance, and business teams to improve data trust, reporting reliability, platform usability, and delivery speed.
