Data Architect
Description
The core responsibilities for the job include the following:
Data Architecture and Modeling:
- Design and maintain enterprise-wide data models, including conceptual, logical, and physical layers.
- Lead data architecture for the Onebot platform and support cross-value-stream data requirements.
- Define data standards, naming conventions, and modeling best practices.
- Evaluate and recommend appropriate data storage patterns (relational, dimensional, lakehouse, graph).
Data Integration:
- Architect and oversee data pipelines and ETL/ELT processes across source systems.
- Design integration patterns for batch, near-real-time, and streaming data flows.
- Ensure robust data lineage, traceability, and auditability across all pipelines.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to implement scalable, resilient integration solutions.
Analytics Enablement:
- Develop semantic and analytical data models that serve BI, reporting, and advanced analytics use cases.
- Partner with analytics and data science teams to define trusted data products.
- Champion a self-service data culture by enabling reusable, well-documented data assets.
Governance and Quality:
- Define and enforce data quality rules, validation frameworks, and remediation processes.
- Contribute to data governance policies, data cataloguing, and metadata management.
- Work with stakeholders to manage data contracts and SLAs.
Stakeholder Collaboration:
- Act as a trusted data advisor across multiple value streams and business units.
- Facilitate technical workshops and design reviews with engineering and product stakeholders.
- Communicate complex data architecture decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience in data architecture, data engineering, or a closely related role.
- Strong proficiency in data modeling techniques: relational, dimensional (Kimball/Inmon), and Data Vault.
- Hands-on experience with data integration tools and frameworks (e. g., Apache Kafka, dbt, Spark, Talend, or similar).
- Solid understanding of cloud data platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and modern data stack components.
- Experience with SQL at an advanced level and familiarity with Python or Scala for data engineering tasks.
- Proven ability to translate business requirements into scalable data architecture solutions.
Preferred:
- Prior exposure to conversational AI platforms or event-driven architectures.
- Experience working in agile, value-stream-aligned product organizations.
- Familiarity with data mesh principles and decentralized data ownership models.
- Knowledge of data governance frameworks and metadata management tools (e. g., Collibra, Alation, DataHub).
- Experience with analytical tools such as Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or Metabase.
