Job Description

The IT Data Platform Architect plays a key role in designing, evolving, and operating scalable cloud‑based data platforms that enable analytics, reporting, and advanced data use cases across the organization. The role focuses on building resilient, secure, and automated data platforms rather than single‑tool expertise. Working closely with engineering, analytics, security, and business teams, this position drives end‑to‑end platform design, from architecture definition through implementation and operational maturity, with a strong emphasis on DevOps practices and cloud‑native principles.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and evolve cloud‑based data platforms enabling analytics, BI, and data‑driven use cases
• Define and guide end‑to‑end data flows across ingestion, processing, storage, and consumption layers
• Partner with engineering, analytics, and business teams to translate data needs into scalable platform solutions
• Establish and promote DevOps, CI/CD, and automation standards for data platforms
• Ensure platform architectures meet security, privacy, and regulatory requirements
• Conduct architecture reviews, identify gaps, and recommend improvements aligned with future needs
• Research emerging data and cloud technologies and drive continuous platform modernization

Skills & Qualifications

• Minimum 8 years of relevant experience in a corporate environment, including a proven track record in data warehouse architecture, ETL/ELT processes, and a strong understanding of BI and reporting platforms
• Strong experience in data platform or cloud architecture within enterprise environments
• Hands‑on knowledge of modern data platforms (e.g., Databricks, cloud data lakes, lakehouse patterns)
• Experience with cloud environments (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
• Solid understanding of DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, automation, data observability and orchestration
• Experience with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Teradata, or similar)
• Strong knowledge of data security, governance, and lifecycle management
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders

What we offer

• An organization that embraces diversity & inclusion and aims to deliver better outcomes by reflecting the perspectives of our diverse customer base
• Competitive compensation package with bonus structure and extended benefit package
• Hybrid work culture
• Personalized career path established through feedback loops
• Joining a growing company that empowers ownership from day one and encourages accountability
