Enterprise Data Architect – Databricks Platform Migration

Enterprise Architect – Databricks Platform Migration | Global Bank

Are you an Enterprise Architect who's led large-scale data platform transformations inside a regulated financial institution?

We're looking for a Databricks Platform Architect to lead a legacy MDM-to-Databricks migration for a global bank in Singapore — one of the most significant data platform modernization programs in the region this year.

About the role:

You'll own the end-to-end architecture for migrating a legacy Master Data Management (MDM) platform onto Databricks, working across enterprise architecture, data governance, security, and business stakeholder teams. This is a hands-on platform engineering & architectural role — you'll set the architectural direction, but you'll also be in the room defending design decisions to risk, compliance, and technology leadership and lead the databricks platform engineering architecture.

What you'll do:

Design and own the target-state Databricks architecture (Lakehouse, Unity Catalog, Delta Lake) as the replacement for the legacy MDM platform

Define the migration strategy and roadmap — phasing, data lineage, parallel-run, and cutover approach for critical banking data domains

Establish governance, security, and data quality frameworks that meet regulatory requirements for a global financial institution

Act as the architectural bridge between engineering teams, enterprise architecture, risk/compliance, and business stakeholders

Define standards for scalability, cost governance, and multi-region resilience across the platform

Mentor and guide delivery teams through the migration, ensuring architectural decisions are implemented as designed

What you'll bring:

15+ years in enterprise/solution architecture, with recent hands-on experience architecting Databricks platforms at scale

Proven experience migrating legacy MDM or data warehouse platforms into modern cloud data platforms

Deep understanding of Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Delta Live Tables, Workflows) and Lakehouse architecture principles

Experience working within banking or other highly regulated financial services environments

Strong grasp of data governance, security, and compliance requirements in a global banking context

Excellent stakeholder communication — equally credible with engineers, architects, and executive leadership.

Nice to have:

Experience with legacy MDM platforms (e.g., Informatica MDM, Reltio, IBM InfoSphere)

Prior experience in multi-region, multi-workspace enterprise Databricks deployments

Cloud certifications (AWS/Azure/GCP) alongside Databricks certifications.
