[Hiring] Principal Software Architect @Ensemble Health Partners

Role Description

As Principal Software Architect, you will serve as Ensemble’s senior technical authority on data platform engineering — a high‑level individual contributor, not a people manager. This is a software engineering role first: you will bring professional software architecture discipline — design patterns, modularity, repo structure, and system design — to a platform built on Databricks and Azure. You will re‑envision our architectural patterns, assess engineering practices across the organization, and establish a strong foundation for AI‑driven capabilities across the organization.

• Architect and design a cloud‑native data platform built on Azure and Databricks.
• Own the organization’s technology roadmap, staying ahead of emerging tools and techniques.
• Serve as a technical escalation point and architectural authority for the Data Platform.
• Influence software design, repository and branching strategy, CI/CD practices, and performance.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience.
• Deep experience designing and reviewing SQL‑based data models and transformations at enterprise scale.
• 3+ years working with big data technologies including Databricks, SPARK, Azure.
• Excellent understanding of engineering fundamentals: testing automation, code reviews, telemetry, iterative delivery, and DevOps.
• Experience with polyglot storage architectures including relational, columnar, key-value, graph or equivalent.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Proven track record as a hands-on software architect.
• Expert-level proficiency with Git and modern version control workflows.
• Strong experience designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
• Experience designing data platforms that support AI/ML, advanced analytics, or intelligent automation workloads.

Requirements

• Must be inquisitive and demonstrate openness to innovation including AI.
• This is a remote position; candidates must be willing to travel as business needs require.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package designed to support physical, emotional, and financial health.
• Professional development opportunities including certification and tuition reimbursement.
• Quarterly and annual incentive programs for employees who excel.
