Job Description
• Architect end-to-end machine learning and data science solutions on Azure and Databricks, from feature engineering through model serving and monitoring.
• Design and govern MLOps pipelines using Databricks MLflow, Model Serving, and related tooling to enable repeatable, production-grade model deployment.
• Architect generative AI solutions including Retrieval-Augmented Generation, agentic workflows, fine-tuning, document intelligence, embeddings, evaluation frameworks, and computer vision.
• Contribute to modern data estate architectures using Microsoft Fabric and/or Azure Databricks, including lakehouse patterns and medallion architecture, to support ML and analytics workloads.
• Contribute to client data strategy engagements including maturity assessments, analytics roadmaps, and governance frameworks in partnership with practice leadership.
• Independently lead client-facing presales engagements, discovery workshops, and architecture reviews as the primary technical authority on data science and AI pursuits.
• Develop level-of-effort estimates, architecture deliverables, and technical contributions to Statements of Work for client pursuits.
