In everything we do, we prioritize people and genuine human connections, ensuring a supportive and inclusive work environment. And we give you maximum flexibility thanks to our hybrid workplace. 

• Architect data platforms end to end. You design and own the data architecture — from data lakes and lakehouses to real-time streaming pipelines and AI-ready feature stores — for complex enterprise clients across industries.

• Advise at the right level. You act as a trusted strategic sparring partner, guiding clients from C-level down through the architecture and engineering layers, translating business needs into durable technical decisions.

• Define governance that works in practice. You establish data governance frameworks, data quality standards, metadata management, and master data management practices that teams can actually follow and maintain.

• Drive delivery. You take ownership of architecture decisions across one or more concurrent projects — from requirements and design through to production rollout — and ensure quality and consistency across the full delivery lifecycle.

• Work cloud-native. You design solutions on modern cloud platforms, applying architecture patterns suited to distributed, high-volume, and heterogeneous data environments.

• Raise the bar. You mentor and coach junior colleagues, champion best practices, and actively shape the standards of diconium's Data & AI practice.

• Grow the practice. You contribute to pre-sales activities, capability development, and thought leadership — helping to evolve our service portfolio and position diconium in the market.

Must haves:

• Substantial experience in Data Architecture, with a track record of designing and delivering production-grade data solutions in complex enterprise environments.

• Deep, hands-on knowledge of cloud data platforms and services (AWS or/and Azure).

• Fluency in data modeling paradigms: relational, dimensional, Data Vault, and lakehouse architectures — and the judgment to choose the right one.

• Proven experience establishing data governance, data quality, and metadata management practices, including tooling such as Microsoft Purview / Collibra / AWS Glue / AWS DataZone / AWS IAM.

• Consulting background or equivalent high-stakeholder-complexity experience: you can communicate architectural vision clearly to technical teams and C-level audiences alike, and guide clients confidently through transformation.

• Experience working in agile delivery environments (Scrum, SAFe, or similar).

• Fluent English, with confidence working across international, distributed teams.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with AI/ML platform requirements: vector databases, feature stores, LLM data pipelines, and the data infrastructure that supports model training and inference at scale.

• Experience with streaming and event-driven architectures (Apache Kafka, Spark Streaming, Azure Event Hubs).

• Practical data engineering skills: Python, SQL, Spark, or dbt — enough to review implementations and support your teams.

• Knowledge of data mesh principles and federated data governance at scale.

• Relevant certifications (e.g., Azure Data Engineer Associate, Databricks Certified Data Engineer, AWS Certified Data Engineer, AWS Certified Solutions Architect and so on ).

• Domain experience in automotive, industrial IoT, or connected mobility.
