Data Architect (Dremio Lakehouse)

Role & Responsibilities

You will be responsible for architecting, implementing, and optimizing Dremio-based data lakehouse environments integrated with cloud storage, BI, and data engineering ecosystems. The role requires a strong balance of architecture design, data modeling, query optimization, and governance enablement in large-scale analytical environments.

• Design and implement Dremio lakehouse architecture on cloud (AWS/Azure/Snowflake/Databricks ecosystem).
• Define data ingestion, curation, and semantic modeling strategies to support analytics and AI workloads.
• Optimize Dremio reflections, caching, and query performance for diverse data consumption patterns.
• Collaborate with data engineering teams to integrate data sources via APIs, JDBC, Delta/Parquet, and object storage layers (S3/ADLS).
• Establish best practices for data security, lineage, and access control aligned with enterprise governance policies.
• Support self-service analytics by enabling governed data products and semantic layers.
• Develop reusable design patterns, documentation, and standards for Dremio deployment, monitoring, and scaling.
• Work closely with BI and data science teams to ensure fast, reliable, and well-modeled access to enterprise data.
  
  

Ideal Candidate

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
• 5+ years in data architecture and engineering, with 3+ years in Dremio or modern lakehouse platforms.
• Strong expertise in SQL optimization, data modeling, and performance tuning within Dremio or similar query engines (Presto, Trino, Athena).
• Hands-on experience with cloud storage (S3, ADLS, GCS), Parquet/Delta/Iceberg formats, and distributed query planning.
• Knowledge of data integration tools and pipelines (Airflow, DBT, Kafka, Spark, etc.).
• Familiarity with enterprise data governance, metadata management, and role-based access control (RBAC).
• Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills.
  
  

Preferred

• Experience integrating Dremio with BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, Looker) and data catalogs (Collibra, Alation, Purview).
• Exposure to Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery environments.
• Experience in high-tech, manufacturing, or enterprise data modernization programs.
