Your role and responsibilities

We are looking for a Data Architect to own the end-to-end technical architecture of our data platform, spanning ingestion, transformation, and consumption layers. This is a hands-on architecture role that sits at the intersection of business and engineering: you will translate business requirements — including incomplete or evolving ones — into clear, actionable technical blueprints, and then guide the engineering teams who bring them to life.

You will act as the technical authority for our modern data stack (Snowflake, dbt Cloud, Azure, Microsoft Fabric, and Python-based orchestration), providing architectural governance and ensuring that every new solution component is a strategic fit within the broader platform and our existing Snowflake and Azure investments.
