You Are:

You are a data/senior data architect who designs enterprise data fabric solutions that provide unified, intelligent, automated access to distributed data across on-prem and multi-cloud environments. You bring together data virtualization, active metadata, knowledge graphs, cataloging, and automated integration into a connected data layer that powers analytics and AI — and you can define the reference architectures and integration patterns that make it real.

• Define reference architectures — establish reference architectures, integration patterns, and governance integration that scale across the enterprise.

• Enable data products and self-service — support self-service consumption, data products, and real-time data delivery through the fabric.

• Apply modern data paradigms — bring data mesh and data product concepts, cloud data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, Azure Synapse, Big Query), and streaming/API architectures to bear on client problems.

• Advise and shape solutions — engage client architects and leaders as a trusted advisor and shape solutions for major data modernization pursuits.
