  • Lead architecture reviews and provide guidance on pipeline and warehouse design proposals across teams.
  • Drive cost optimization and capacity planning across the data platform estate.
  • Design disaster recovery, multi-region, and high-availability strategies for critical data assets.
  • Mentor data engineers and architects on platform standards and emerging best practices.
  • Produce architecture artifacts including context diagrams, decision records, and reference patterns.
  • Stay current with data platform research, vendor offerings, and open-source ecosystem developments.
Required Qualifications

  • Eight or more years of experience in data engineering, with significant time in architecture roles.
  • Deep expertise across at least two major data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or Redshift.
  • Strong understanding of lakehouse architectures, modern table formats, and streaming systems.
  • Hands-on experience with Spark, Flink, or Kafka at production scale.
  • Strong data modeling expertise across dimensional, normalized, and data-vault patterns.
  • Experience implementing governance, lineage, and catalog capabilities.
  • Solid grasp of cloud platforms, networking, identity, and cost optimization.
  • Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Track record of leading large data platform initiatives across teams.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with data mesh or data product architectures.
  • Familiarity with semantic layers such as dbt Semantic Layer, Cube, or LookML.
