Senior Data Architect | Contract | Inside IR35 | £800-1000pd

London – Hybrid (3 days onsite)
Initial 6-month contract

I'm working with a major UK organisation looking for a Senior Data Architect to help shape the evolution of a large-scale, cloud-based data ecosystem.

This is a senior but technically hands-on architecture role, working across complex distributed data platforms and influencing architecture direction across multiple engineering and data teams.

Key experience:

  • Enterprise-scale Data Architecture
  • AWS cloud data platforms
  • Spark / PySpark / Python
  • Airflow & ELT/data processing
  • Data Lakehouse & Data Products
  • Streaming / Event-Driven Architecture
  • Data Governance
  • Architecture standards, patterns & technical design reviews
  • Experience with delivering data architecture that enables ML/AI platforms essential
This isn't an ivory-tower architecture position. We're looking for someone with deep engineering credibility who can operate at both technical and senior stakeholder level.

Financial Services or another highly regulated environment would be advantageous.
