Databricks Integration Lead

Role Overview

We need a senior, hands-on Databricks Integration Lead to own the integration architecture for a large migration from

Veeva CRM to Vault CRM. The scope covers 5 Veeva CRM orgs and 46 unique integration points that must be

analyzed, rationalized, and optimized before connecting to the new Vault CRM platform. The lead sets technical

direction, makes architecture decisions, and guides a skilled Databricks engineering team (including offshore

resources). Deep, current, hands-on Databricks expertise is the top screening criterion. This is not an

oversight-only role.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end integration architecture across Databricks, 5 Veeva CRM orgs, Vault CRM, and connected systems

• Catalog and analyze all 46 integration points; consolidate, retire, or standardize rather than lift-and-shift

• Define standards: medallion architecture, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog governance, workflow orchestration, CI/CD

• Design coexistence patterns while Veeva CRM and Vault CRM run in parallel

• Define Veeva-to-Vault data mapping (accounts, HCP/HCO, calls, samples, consents, territories)

• Review designs, notebooks, and pipelines; act as technical escalation point for the team

• Establish validation/reconciliation frameworks and support GxP, privacy, and audit requirements

• Own technical cutover plan, rollback strategy, and monitoring/operational support model

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years in data integration/architecture; 5+ years deep, hands-on Databricks in enterprise production

• Expert in PySpark/Spark SQL, Delta Lake, Workflows/Jobs, Delta Live Tables, Auto Loader, Unity Catalog,

performance and cost tuning

• Delivered large multi-source integration programs (dozens of interfaces)

• Hands-on Veeva CRM data model and integration experience; Vault CRM knowledge strongly preferred

• Life sciences / pharma commercial experience (HCP/HCO data, call activity, samples, consent, MDM)

• Strong REST/SOAP API, bulk load, and file/event-based integration skills

• Proven technical leadership of engineering teams, including distributed/offshore teams

• Familiarity with GxP validation and regulated-environment delivery

Preferred Qualifications

• Databricks certifications (Data Engineer Professional, Solution Architect, or equivalent)

• Prior Veeva CRM to Vault CRM or other CRM-to-CRM migration experience

• Experience with Veeva Network, OpenData, or multi-org integration rationalization

• DevOps for Databricks (Terraform, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions); AWS, Azure, or GCP
