Job Description

About Our Client

Johnson & Johnson is one of the world’s most respected and innovative healthcare companies, dedicated to improving the health and well-being of people everywhere. With a global presence across pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and consumer health, J&J is known for combining science, technology, and design to deliver impactful solutions.

About the Role

We’re looking for a senior architect/lead to standardize how multiple teams consume data from an Azure Databricks-based data lake. Today, different teams are using different approaches, creating duplicated pipelines, weak transparency on usage, and governance/security risk. You’ll assess the current state, define a small set of recommended design patterns for data consumption, and propose a simplified future-state architecture (with a strong focus on Azure Databricks + Power BI).

What You’ll Do

• Assess the current data consumption landscape (multiple teams/pillars, multiple approaches).
• Define and document recommended architecture patterns to consume data from Azure Databricks (repeatable “reference designs”).
• Reduce pipeline sprawl by recommending simplifications across ETL/data movement steps (where feasible).
• Improve transparency/traceability of data usage (governance/lineage mindset).
• Align with highly technical stakeholders (data engineering/data science/platform teams) and present recommendations clearly.
• Support adoption planning: rollout approach, risks, and operating model suggestions (what skills/team shape is needed).

Requirements:
• Strong, hands-on experience with Azure Databricks in production environments.

• Proven experience designing data consumption architectures/patterns used across multiple teams (not just building one-off pipelines).
• Solid ETL / data pipeline architecture knowledge (designing, simplifying, governing).
• Strong SQL and experience with downstream consumption layers (SQL Server in the data path is a big plus).
• Power BI familiarity (as the key reporting/consumption layer).
• Senior stakeholder communication skills (can work with very technical teams and drive architectural clarity).

Nice to Have

• Databricks Unity Catalog experience (governance/catalog/permissions).
• Experience building or formalizing a semantic layer.

Benefits:
• High-impact architecture work: you’ll set patterns that multiple teams will adopt.
• Enterprise-scale environment with modern data stack (Azure + Databricks).
• Fully remote contractor role (LATAM-friendly)

• Opportunity to work with a global healthcare leader
• High chance of extension after the initial contract
