Job summary

Armanino is seeking a Senior Engineering lead to architect, operate, and continuously improve cloud data and analytics platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Fabric, Databricks) and own BI delivery infrastructure (Power BI, Tableau). You will set the standards for platform reliability, CI/CD, environment design, security, and governance, and you will carry those standards into production.

You work independently, make architecture calls, and own the outcome.

Qualifications

• Minimum 6 years in data engineering, platform engineering, analytics engineering, or cloud operations, with a track record of owning platforms in production.
• Minimum 2 years of representative accounting experience, whether implementing accounting systems or working in direct accounting roles.
• Deep, production-grade command of a cloud data platform: Snowflake (preferred), Microsoft Fabric, or Databricks, with working fluency across the others.
• Strong command of a BI platform: Power BI or Tableau, including data modeling, security, and refresh architecture.
• CI/CD ownership: Git, branching and PR discipline, and building pipelines, not just running them.
• Solid scripting in Python or PowerShell.
• Advanced troubleshooting: you break down ambiguous problems, gather evidence, decide, and communicate clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong SQL and performance skills: indexing and partitioning strategy, query plans, and capacity tuning.

Responsibilities

• Own the design and day-to-day operation of cloud data platforms: workspace and project architecture, access models, capacity planning, configuration standards, and troubleshooting.
• Define and enforce platform standards: naming and tagging conventions, access patterns, cost management, and environment separation.
• Drive platform maturity: identify structural gaps, propose the fix, and implement it without waiting to be told.
• Design, build, and own CI/CD workflows for data and analytics assets, including branching strategy, promotion, approvals, and rollback.
• Establish reusable templates, checklists, and release documentation that the rest of the team deploys against.
• Set the deployment bar and hold the team to it through review and automation.
• Serve as the technical authority across a core platform plus BI tools, and provide working depth across others.
• Lead onboarding and enablement for engineering and client teams: patterns, guardrails, and reusable solutions.
• Own performance: diagnose and resolve query, job, refresh, and capacity issues.
