Banner Health was named to Fortune’s Most Innovative Companies in America 2025 list for the third consecutive year and named to Newsweek's list of Most Trustworthy Companies in America for the second year in a row. We’re proud to be recognized for our commitment to the latest health care advancements and excellent patient care.
Banner Health's Data Platform Team is building the modern data platform that runs on Databricks and AWS, supporting everything from claims and clinical data to population health analytics and AI-enabled by data. We're looking for a Data Architect to lead Databricks solution architecture end to end — designing PHI-compliant data patterns, defining the architectural standards for how data moves from Bronze through Gold and how entity resolution and claims data get handled, and partnering with enterprise and cloud architecture teams to make sure what we build fits inside Banner's broader security posture. You'll be the person in the room when a new data pattern needs a PHI-safe design, and the person who can explain why it's built that way to both a cloud architect and a compliance reviewer. You define the patterns and standards — engineering teams build against them.
This isn't a design-and-hand-off role. You'll work directly with analytics leaders to translate platform capabilities into terms they can act on, and you'll work directly with data engineers on coding standards, CI/CD practices, and Gold-layer development patterns — teaching the practices, not just documenting them. If you can move between an architecture review with enterprise architects and a working session teaching an analytics team how to build a compliant Gold pipeline, and you understand both the technical and healthcare-data complexity underneath each, this is the role. This is a remote position. In this role you would work Monday through Friday normal business hours 8am - 5pm AZ time zone and can be a remote position if you live in the following states only: AL, AK, AR, AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, NC, ND, NE, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI, WV & WY.
Your pay and benefits (Total Rewards) are important components of your Journey at Banner Health. Banner Health offers a variety of benefit plans to help you and your family. We provide health and financial security options, so you can focus on being the best at what you do and enjoying your life.
Within Banner Health Corporate, you will have the opportunity to apply your unique experience and expertise in support of a nationally-recognized healthcare leader. We offer stimulating and rewarding careers in a wide array of disciplines. Whether your background is in Human Resources, Finance, Information Technology, Legal, Managed Care Programs or Public Relations, you'll find many options for contributing to our award-winning patient care.

Search Architect Jobs in ArizonaArchitect Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for architects in Arizona?
Firms with a track record of sponsoring architects in Arizona include DLR Group, SmithGroup, Gensler's Phoenix office, and HOK. Larger national and regional firms are more likely to have established immigration infrastructure than smaller local studios. Healthcare, education, and civic project-focused firms tend to hire internationally when specialized design expertise is needed.
Which visa types are most common for architect roles in Arizona?
The H-1B is the most common visa for licensed and unlicensed architects in Arizona, as architecture qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring a related bachelor's degree or higher. The O-1A is an option for architects with demonstrated distinction, such as award-winning portfolios or published work. TN visa status covers Canadian and Mexican nationals with architecture credentials under USMCA.
Which cities in Arizona have the most architect sponsorship jobs?
Phoenix accounts for the majority of architecture sponsorship opportunities in Arizona, driven by sustained commercial, healthcare, and mixed-use development across the metro. Tucson has a smaller but active market, particularly for firms working on university and government projects tied to the University of Arizona. Scottsdale also sees demand from high-end residential and resort design firms.
How to find architect visa sponsorship jobs in Arizona?
Migrate Mate filters architecture roles in Arizona specifically by visa sponsorship, so you're not sorting through listings from employers who won't sponsor. Search for architect positions on Migrate Mate and filter by Arizona to see active openings at firms that have indicated willingness to support visa candidates. This saves significant time compared to applying broadly and discovering sponsorship limitations late in the process.
Are there any Arizona-specific considerations for architects seeking visa sponsorship?
Arizona requires architects to be licensed through the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration to practice independently, though international candidates often work under a licensed architect while pursuing licensure. Arizona's construction boom, particularly in the Phoenix metro, has sustained demand that makes firms more open to sponsoring experienced international candidates. Proximity to Mexico also means bilingual architects with TN eligibility may find additional opportunities.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored architect jobs in Arizona?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
