Senior Data Platform Architect



Job description

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Data Platform Architect to design and lead the implementation of a scalable, secure, and modern enterprise data platform.

This role is central to our mission to enable real-time insights, machine learning at scale, and data democratization across the business.

You will architect end-to-end data ecosystems — from ingestion to access — while driving standards that ensure trust, governance, and performance across domains.

What You'll Own

  • Platform Strategy & Architecture

  • Define and lead the data platform strategy, aligning with analytics, AI/ML, and business intelligence goals.

  • Architect scalable solutions including lakehouse models, event-driven pipelines, and multi-cloud storage strategies.

  • Technical Leadership

  • Guide engineering teams in building robust batch and streaming data pipelines using best-in-class tools and frameworks.

  • Define reference architectures, blueprints, and guardrails to enable repeatable, secure, and performant platform components.

  • Modern Stack Enablement

  • Evaluate and implement tools across data orchestration, transformation, lineage, cataloging, and observability — e.g., Airflow, dbt, Delta Lake, Kafka, Snowflake, Databricks.

  • Governance by Design

  • Embed data privacy, lineage, and access control into the platform's core — enabling compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and industry regulations.

  • Cloud-Native Infrastructure

  • Design cost-efficient, elastic architectures on AWS, Azure, or GCP using infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK, etc.)

  • Cross-Functional Alignment

  • Partner with analytics, product, and infrastructure leaders to ensure the platform meets current and future business needs.

  • Mentorship & Scale

  • Uplift engineering maturity across the team via design reviews, architecture clinics, and hands-on mentorship.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in data engineering, architecture, or platform leadership roles
  • Proven experience architecting large-scale distributed data platforms in cloud environments
  • Strong expertise in data lake/lakehouse, streaming, and warehouse architectures
  • Hands-on familiarity with tools such as Spark, Kafka, dbt, Airflow, Delta Lake, and cloud-native storage & compute (e.g., S3 + EMR / BigQuery / Synapse)
  • Solid understanding of data modeling, cataloging, versioning, lineage, and access controls
  • Excellent communication skills — able to influence at both engineering and executive levels
  • Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field

Preferred Qualifications

  • Cloud certification (AWS Certified Data Analytics, GCP Professional Data Engineer, etc.)
  • Experience deploying data platforms in regulated industries (banking, healthcare, public sector)
  • Familiarity with data mesh, domain-driven design, or federated governance patterns
  • Exposure to MLOps and integration of AI/ML workloads on data platforms
