Full job description

RAVL helps technologists accelerate their careers.

At RAVL, we connect strategy with execution, care deeply about the people we work with, and measure success by the lasting impact we leave behind. Our purpose is to build a team that puts real, sustainable business outcomes at the core of everything we do.

We’re here to leave our clients better than we found them, and to create a place where our people are proud to Build. Better.

Design and deliver enterprise data platforms, lakehouse architectures, and distributed raw data processing systems using modern cloud-native technologies.

Architect and implement scalable batch and streaming pipelines, medallion architectures, data mesh patterns, and platform automation frameworks for resilience, governance, and security.

Standardize and lead adoption of Databricks, Apache Spark, Delta Lake, and similar distributed data processing ecosystems across engagements.

Define and implement AI-ready data foundations, including feature engineering pipelines, model-ready data layers, and scalable experimentation environments.

Build horizontal capabilities including ingestion frameworks, metadata and lineage standards, data quality and observability frameworks, secure-by-design platform blueprints, and MLOps enablement patterns.

Architect and guide implementation of MLOps workflows including model lifecycle management, model deployment strategies, monitoring, and governance.

Integrate with cloud-native storage, data warehouses, APIs, ML platforms, vector databases, and enterprise systems while managing authentication, authorization, and secure data flows.

Apply secure coding practices, compliance standards, responsible AI principles, and automation-first approaches across all data and AI platform designs.

Demonstrate a bias for action: ship reference architectures, reusable modules, AI accelerators, and templates that enable rapid, incremental delivery.

Mentor engineers, influence stakeholders, define governance standards, and shape technical and strategic direction across BuildIQ.
