We are looking for an experienced Data Architect to design and manage scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions. The candidate will drive enterprise data architecture, define data models, and build end-to-end frameworks for data integration, governance, and analytics across multiple platforms.
Responsibilities:
Own enterprise data architecture
across conceptual, logical, and physical models, including data standards, naming conventions, and best practices.
Design reusable architecture patterns (CDC ingestion, SCD handling, lakehouse/warehouse layers, medallion architecture) and architect scalable ETL/ELT + ingestion frameworks
for end-to-end integration and transformations.
Build and optimize warehouse/datamart architectures for analytics and reporting with strong focus on performance tuning (partitioning, clustering, indexing, query optimization).
Ensure data governance, quality, lineage, metadata management, and secure access controls
(RBAC, encryption, masking).
Drive architecture reviews, technical decisions, and create/maintain documentation
(architecture diagrams, data flows, ERDs, integration specs) ensuring alignment with enterprise standards.
Collaborate with business stakeholders, data engineers, cloud, and BI teams
to translate requirements into validated solutions.
Client-facing role with end-to-end ownership of data architecture and delivery in a high-stakes, high-impact environment.
