Key Responsibilities
  • Own enterprise data modeling standards: conceptual, logical, and physical models, conformed dimensions, and canonical data model governance.
  • Design and maintain the canonical data hub and integration contracts (e.g., hub-first CQRS pattern) bridging source systems (Workday, CRM, tax platforms) to downstream consumers.
  • Partner with the Boomi iPaaS / API Gateway Architect on orchestration, routing (e.g., YARP-based gateway), and contract versioning.
  • Evaluate and apply data modeling methodologies (Kimball, Inmon, Data Vault 2.0) appropriate to each initiative.
  • Define entity relationship diagrams (ERDs) and metadata-driven schema patterns (e.g., JSONB generic store) where applicable.
  • Partner with the Solution Architect
    - Data Platforms to ensure canonical models align to lakehouse/medallion consumption layers.
  • Establish integration standards for master/reference data synchronization and change-data-capture strategies.
  • Lead data model reviews as part of ARB submissions, producing architecture review reports with severity-rated findings and action items.
  • Maintain the data dictionary, model documentation, and integration interface catalogs.
  • Support hyper‑care for new integrations, driving root‑cause analysis for data‑model‑related defects.
Qualifications & Experience
  • 8+ years of experience in data modeling and/or integration architecture, including at least 4 years in enterprise environments.
  • Deep hands‑on expertise with conceptual, logical, and physical data modeling and ER modeling tools.
  • Experience designing canonical data models and API / iPaaS integration contracts (e.g., Boomi Atom Sphere or comparable).
  • Familiarity with API gateway / reverse-proxy patterns (e.g., YARP) and CQRS architecture.
  • Knowledge of master data management and reference data governance.
  • Experience operating in regulated environments and adhering to SOC 2 / SOX control requirements.
  • Strong communication skills; ability to engage business stakeholders, integration developers, and platform architects.
  • Prior experience partnering with data platform architects on lakehouse/medallion consumption patterns.
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field, or equivalent experience.
