Senior Data Consultant

Solvd Inc. is a rapidly growing AI-native consulting and technology services firm delivering enterprise transformation across cloud, data, software engineering, and artificial intelligence. We work with industry-leading organizations to design, build, and operationalize technology solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.

Following the acquisition of Tooploox, a premier AI and product development company, Solvd now offers true end-to-end delivery—from strategic advisory and solution design to custom AI development and enterprise-scale implementation. Our capability centers combine deep technical expertise, proven delivery methodologies, and sector-specific knowledge to address complex business challenges quickly and effectively.

We are seeking a Senior Data Consultant / Lead to lead the end-to-end design of a secure, governed, enterprise-scale Data Lakehouse platform for a FinTech organization.

This role will be responsible for defining and implementing a future-proof security, governance, and interoperability.

What you'll do

• Design end-to-end PII data protection strategy (tokenization, encryption, masking).

• Implementing secure ingestion patterns (event-driven + batch).

• Define where tokenization occurs (inline vs ingestion vs vault-based).

• Ensure PCI/PII data does not unnecessarily enter analytics layers.

• Integrate Protegrity or Thales into data pipelines with proper policy enforcement.

• Define encryption key management strategy (HSM/KMS integration, key rotation, separation of duties).

Databricks

• Design Unity Catalog structure (catalogs, schemas, privilege hierarchy).

• Define RBAC/ABAC strategy aligned with enterprise security model.

• Implement row-level and column-level security policies.

• Ensure audit logging and monitoring is properly configured.

• Prevent role sprawl and access duplication.

• Define secure workspace isolation patterns (PCI vs non-PCI).

Cross-Platform Governance Interoperability (Databricks + Fabric)

• Design governance model that avoids duplication between:

  • Unity Catalog,

  • Azure Fabric security model,

  • Power BI semantic layer security.

• Ensure role propagation and access alignment across platforms.

• Define how security roles translate from:

  • Databricks → Fabric → Power BI.

• Avoid redundant catalog definitions or policy conflicts.

• Design data contract model that supports centralized metadata management.

• Align data catalog strategy (Purview / Unity Catalog / Fabric metadata).

Data Pipeline Modernization (2–3 Year Roadmap)

• Lead migration of legacy ETL pipelines into Lakehouse architecture.

• Define phased modernization strategy (Bronze/Silver/Gold).

• Implement event-driven real-time ingestion patterns where required.

• Ensure secure data flow with encryption in transit and at rest.

• Design data quality validation framework.

• Establish CI/CD practices for pipelines and governance rules.
