Position Summary

The Staff Data Architect is a hands-on technical role responsible for designing and personally building the data architecture patterns that power HCA’s GCP-based Lakehouse and multi-modal ingestion platforms. Unlike a purely advisory architecture role, this position is expected to spend a substantial portion of its time in code — authoring reference implementations, prototyping ingestion frameworks, writing production-grade pipelines, and proving out patterns before they are adopted at scale.

This role owns architecture for a defined platform or data domain rather than the enterprise as a whole, and operates as the senior technical authority within that scope. The Staff Data Architect translates business and clinical requirements into durable designs, then demonstrates those designs in working code that engineering teams extend. Design decisions are earned through implementation: if a pattern cannot be built, benchmarked, and operated by the architect who proposed it, it is not ready to become a standard.





The role bridges the Principal Data Architect’s enterprise direction and the Staff Data Engineer’s delivery execution. It requires deep GCP expertise, strong software engineering discipline (test-driven development, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code), and the ability to influence without direct authority. The culture of the organization places an emphasis on teamwork, so social and interpersonal skills are equally important as technical capability. Due to the emerging and fast-evolving nature of GCP and AI technologies, the position requires staying well-informed of technological advancements and being proficient at putting recent innovations into effective practice.

At HCA DT&I;, your deliverables will influence patient care. Every process, technology, and decision matters.
