The client is modernizing an on-premises enterprise solution and needs the architect who will lead the migration of data processing and application components to an Azure Databricks platform. The role is hands-on: current and target state analysis data models POCs code reviews developer coaching and effort estimation. The profile must meet two distinct layers: the framework agreement profile 3-4 requirements focused on application architecture (SOA commercial software integration implementation strategies executive documents) and the mandate-specific requirements focused on modern analytics architecture and big data. A data architect without documented application work fails the first layer; an application architect without Lakehouse or Spark fails the second. Level 2 security clearance from the ministère de la Sécurité publique and Quebec-only remote work narrow the pool further.

Target candidate: an application architect with 15 years in IT including at least 7 in architecture who has led at least two large-scale cloud migrations and designed a Lakehouse architecture on Databricks and Spark from a SQL Server SSIS legacy. They document mandate by mandate their system architecture SOA and commercial software integration roles and bring hands-on graph database and IaC experience.

Key Requirements:

- Up-to-date analytics architecture design (Data Lake Lakehouse Data Warehouse Medallion)

- Processing and analysis of very large data volumes (Big data)





- Mastery of Spark and distributed processing

- Mastery of pragmatic migration patterns

- Rapid proofs of concept (POC)

- Hybrid solutions (cloud and on-premises)

- At least 2 large-scale data or application cloud migration mandates

- Knowledge of Databricks Python

- Graph database design and operation (complex relationship analysis)

- Cloud deployment and configuration automation through Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

- Professional skills: teamwork autonomy rigour leadership mobilization tolerance for ambiguity and stress

Requirements

ASSET

- DevSecOps practices

Profiles to Exclude:

- Data architect or engineer without documented SOA commercial software integration or implementation strategy mandates.

- Profile citing a graph database without demonstrated design and operation in a mandate.

- Resume without dates clients or scale per mandate preventing completion of the Excel grid criterion by criterion.
