Who We Are
HIKE2 is an advisory and innovation partner helping organizations design and build what’s next.
We work with complex and regulated industries, including law firms, financial services, insurance, professional services, and high-growth SaaS companies, to modernize operating models and embed data, automation, and AI into the core of how work gets done.
Our clients aren’t just upgrading technology. They are rethinking workflows, activating governed AI, and designing environments where humans and intelligent systems work side by side.
We believe meaningful transformation happens when strategy, data, design, and engineering move together. Siloed initiatives don’t scale. Real progress requires clarity of vision, strong data foundations, responsible governance, and disciplined execution.
Our teams bring deep industry expertise, human-centered design, and advanced data and cloud capabilities to architect secure, scalable solutions built for real-world complexity. From modern data platforms to AI-enabled workflows and enterprise automation, we help organizations move from experimentation to measurable impact.
We thrive in change and move from blank slate to working systems. We care deeply about outcomes, trust, and building long-term partnerships.
We don’t just implement technology. We help design the future of work.
HIKE2 is looking for a Senior Data Engineer with deep experience in Databricks and modern data platforms, particularly in large, complex enterprise environments. This is a hands-on role for someone who has built and delivered data solutions at scale, ideally in greenfield settings, and is comfortable working with Fortune 500 clients. You’ll be expected to lead technical direction, make sound architectural decisions, and support the growth of other engineers on the team.
You’ll work closely with clients and internal teams to design and implement enterprise-grade data platforms and pipelines from the ground up. This role requires someone who can operate across the full lifecycle from early architecture and design through delivery and optimization, while keeping solutions practical, reliable, and aligned with business needs.
What You’ll Do
Design and build large-scale data platforms on Databricks (Delta Lake, Spark, Unity Catalog) in Azure
Develop and maintain batch and streaming data pipelines for high-volume, complex data sources
Implement medallion/lakehouse architectures from the ground up in greenfield environments
Build and optimize data models to support analytics, reporting, and downstream applications
Integrate Databricks with enterprise systems (APIs, event streams, warehouses, ML workflows)
Tune Spark jobs and pipelines for performance, reliability, and cost at scale
Support production deployments, including CI/CD pipelines, testing, and release management
How You’ll Work
Partner directly with enterprise clients to translate requirements into working technical solutions
Collaborate with architects, engineers, and data scientists across multiple workstreams
Balance speed and quality, knowing when to move fast and when to harden solutions
Make pragmatic decisions in ambiguous, evolving environments (especially greenfield builds)
Contribute hands-on while also guiding design and approach across the team
Communicate tradeoffs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Work within modern engineering practices (version control, code reviews, automated testing)
Demonstrated ability to mentor and guide data engineers and analysts
What You’ll Own
End-to-end delivery of Databricks-based data solutions—from design through production support
Technical direction and key architecture decisions for large-scale implementations
Data pipeline reliability, monitoring, and incident response in production environments
Performance and cost efficiency of workloads running in Databricks and Azure
Data quality, governance alignment, and adherence to enterprise security standards
Reusable patterns, frameworks, and standards for scaling future implementations
Mentorship and technical development of other engineers on the team
Join our Data Platform team as a Senior Data Platform Engineer, where you'll design and build scalable data infrastructure and ingestion pipelines to support analytics and AI workloads.
Scale and advance data infrastructure by building reliable tooling, improving research and production workflows, guiding large engineering initiatives, and shaping the team's technical roadmap and developer experience.
Senior/Staff Software Engineer on the Data Engineering team, building scalable data systems and pipelines that support trading and research while leading complex projects and guiding the team's technical direction.
Design, build, and operate production data pipelines, search and retrieval systems, and LLM-powered features for learning experiences, with ownership of quality, reliability, security, and cost.
Extract, transform, and validate clinical and administrative data from ambulatory EHR/EMR systems, building governed data pipelines and audit-ready calculations for CMS MIPS and value-based care reporting.
