Build the Data Foundation of a High-Growth Healthcare Company

SynergenX is rapidly scaling, multi-state healthcare organization with both clinic locations and telehealth focused on hormone optimization, wellness, and patient-centered care. As we continue to grow, we are making a significant investment in modernizing our enterprise data ecosystem.

We are looking for a Principal Data Architect who is not just a strategist, but a builder and leader. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role where you will define, architect, and execute the future of our data platform.

This role requires onsite presence for the first 30–60 days with no exceptions. This is critical for alignment, team integration, and execution. Hybrid flexibility may be considered after 60 days based on performance and business needs.

  • Architect a modern, scalable Azure-based data platform
  • Eliminate inefficiencies and legacy reporting limitations
  • Directly influence executive decision-making through data
  • Build and mentor a high-performing data team

If you want ownership, visibility, and the ability to make a real impact, this is it.

  • Lead and mentor Data Engineers, BI Developers, and Analytics teams

  • Automate manual processes and reporting inefficiencies
  • Implement CI/CD, version control, and documentation standards

Data Governance & Compliance

  • Establish enterprise data governance frameworks
  • Ensure HIPAA-compliant architecture and data handling
  • Improve data lineage, auditability, and trust in reporting

What We’re Looking For

Required

  • 8+ years in Data Architecture progressive by nature
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • Microsoft Azure data ecosystem
    • Databricks / Spark
    • Power BI (semantic models, governance)
  • Strong expertise in:
    • Data modeling (Star Schema, Snowflake, Lakehouse)
    • SQL, Python, PySpark
  • Proven leadership and ability to influence technical teams
  • Strong business acumen and ability to align architecture with company goals
  • Must be fluent in English (both written and spoken) to perform essential job functions, including documentation, stakeholder communication, and cross-functional collaboration.

Preferred

  • Healthcare or regulated industry experience (HIPAA)
  • Experience supporting M&A or multi-entity data integration
  • Azure tools such as Data Factory, Synapse, or Fabric
  • Exposure to real-time data pipelines or machine learning workflows
  • Relevant certifications (Azure, Databricks)

Work Environment & Requirements

  • Houston-based role; local candidates strongly preferred
  • Onsite required for first 30–60 days (non-negotiable)
  • Hybrid eligibility may be considered after 60 days based on performance and business needs
  • Occasional travel as needed
  • Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship

What We Offer

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
