Sr Data Architect

Job Summary

MTech builds customer-facing SaaS & analytics products used by global enterprise customers. You will own the database/data platform architecture that powers these products—driving performance, reliability, auditability, and cost efficiency at multi-tenant, multi-terabyte scale. Success is measured in hard outcomes: fewer P1s/support tickets, faster queries, bullet-proof ERP/SAP integrations, SLO compliance tied to SLAs, and audit ready evidence.

Purpose-Driven Work – Build technology that solves real problems for the world

Casual & Collaborative – No corporate bureaucracy, direct access to senior leadership

Innovation-Focused – Healthy innovation pipeline expanding into new segments and technologies

Transparent & Data-Driven – Clear metrics, objectives, and visibility into company performance

Modern Development – Robust development tools, training programs, and technical excellence

Responsibilities and Duties

• Own the end-to-end data architecture for enterprise SaaS (OLTP + analytical serving), including Azure SQL/MI, Databricks/Delta Lake, ADLS, Synapse/Fabric, and collaboration on Power BI semantic models (RLS, performance).
• Define and implement Information Lifecycle Management (ILM): hot/warm/cold tiers, 2-year OLTP retention, archive/nearline, and a BI mirror that enables rich analytics without impacting production workloads.
• Engineer ERP/SAP financial interfaces for idempotency, reconciliation, and traceability; design rollback/de-dup strategies and financial journal integrity controls.
• Govern schema evolution/DbVersions to prevent cross-customer regressions while achieving performance gains.
• Establish data SLOs (freshness, latency, correctness) mapped to customer SLAs; instrument monitoring/alerting and drive continuous improvement.

Operations & Observability

• Build observability for pipelines and interfaces (logs/metrics/traces, lineage, data quality gates) and correlate application telemetry (e.g., Stackify/Retrace) with DB performance for rapid root cause analysis.
• Create incident playbooks (reprocess, reconcile, rollback) and drive MTTR down across data incidents.
• Lead the DBA/DB engineering function (standards, reviews, capacity planning, HA/DR, on-call, performance/availability SLOs) and mentor data engineers.
• Partner with Product/Projects/BI to shape domain models that meet demanding customer reporting (e.g., Tyson Matrix) and planning needs without compromising OLTP

Required Qualifications

• 15+ years in data/database engineering; 5–8+ years owning data/DB architecture for customer facing SaaS/analytics at enterprise scale.
• Proven results at multi-terabyte scale (≥5 TB) with measurable improvements (P1 reduction, MTTR, query latency, cost/performance).
• Audit & SLA readiness: implemented controls/evidence to satisfy SOC 1 Type 2 (or equivalent) and run environments to SLOs linked to SLAs.
• ILM/Archival + BI mirror design for queryable archives/analytics without OLTP impact.
• Power BI performance modeling (RLS, composite models, incremental refresh, DAX optimization).
• Modular monolith/microservices experience
• Semantic tech (ontology/knowledge graphs), vector stores, and agentic AI orchestration experience (advantage, not required).

This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship at this time.
