Data Architect (Qlik & Databricks Advisory)

Location: 100% Remote (Poland)Contract: B2B (via Entrada AI Poland)

Engagement Type: Part-time / Consulting

Duration: 3 Weeks

Focus: Architecture Validation (No Implementation)

ABOUT ENTRADA AI Entrada AI is a specialized consulting partner and a strategic portfolio company of Databricks Ventures. This is a rare distinction: Databricks invested in us because of our technical excellence, placing us in the "inner circle" of the ecosystem. For our engineers, this means direct access to product roadmaps, private previews, and the teams building the platform.

You will join a team of industry veterans and Databricks MVPs. We look for engineers who value clean architecture over quick fixes. We don't just maintain pipelines; we solve complex architectural challenges for Fortune 500 clients using features often before they are widely available.

The Scope of Work

As this is a pure advisory engagement, you will review, validate, and provide expert feedback on three primary assessment streams:

1. Tenant Provisioning & Automation: Evaluating the strategy for scaling to 1,500 tenants (Qlik Automation API vs. a custom Broker Microservice).

2. Connectivity & Security: Validating the IdP integration (SAML vs. JWT) and the embedding strategy (iframe vs. React components).

3. App Lifecycle & ALM: Reviewing promotion workflows and the use of Terraform for Qlik Cloud (considering current official support limitations).

Requirements

Must-Have Experience:

• Databricks Mastery: Strong, hands-on knowledge of Databricks SQL and Serverless SQL.

• Qlik Cloud Architecture: Deep understanding of how Qlik Cloud integrates with Databricks as a backend.

• Advisory Excellence: Proven experience in architecture review roles—you must be able to poke holes in a design and offer substantive, battle-tested feedback.

• Cloud Migration: Experience transitioning analytics from on-premises environments to the cloud.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Specific experience with On-prem Qlik Sense to Qlik Cloud migration paths.

• Familiarity with RDS to Serverless SQL migration patterns.

• Background in FinTech or SaaS data platforms, specifically regarding multi-tenant security.
