Role : Senior Data Platform Architect
Location : Remote
We are seeking a high‑impact Senior Data Architect who will rapidly accelerate our data initiatives, bring proven external experience and perspective, and architect the foundational capabilities required to advance our long‑term data strategy.
This role will shape and guide the architecture of the Data Platform and its suite of data and information services, will collaborate closely with product managers and the Lead Data Platform Architect to define architectural direction and ensure high‑quality implementation across a hybrid environment (on‑premises, co‑location facilities, and cloud—with cloud as the strategic destination).
This is an advanced contributor role
with no direct reports. Looking for a Sr. Data architect who can
• Ramp up quickly with minimal guidance.
• Deliver architecture outcomes at speed.
• Bring external modernization experience.
• Provide short‑term acceleration and leave behind long‑term reusable assets.
Principal Duties & Responsibilities
•
Architect end‑to‑end data
solutions and provide implementation oversight in alignment with enterprise
architecture standards.
• Rapidly assess the current data landscape and identify gaps, risks, and
opportunities to accelerate modernization.
• Deliver actionable architecture artifacts—including data models, integration
patterns, and platform designs—under compressed timelines.
• Enhance foundational data capabilities such as ingestion pipelines, domain
models, metadata frameworks, and data quality structures.
• Define, document, and promote scalable architecture patterns for immediate
adoption by engineering teams.
• Partner closely with architects, engineers, and business stakeholders to
translate requirements into actionable designs that fit enterprise standards.
• Provide hands‑on architectural leadership for high‑priority initiatives,
ensuring solutions are modern, scalable, and aligned with enterprise principles
while enabling speed.
• Introduce external best practices across cloud, data mesh, event‑driven
architectures, and AI/ML‑enabled solutions.
