Senior Data Architect - Landmark

We are looking for the right people — people who want to innovate, achieve, grow and lead. We attract and retain the best talent by investing in our employees and empowering them to develop themselves and their careers. Experience the challenges, rewards and opportunity of working for one of the world’s largest providers of products and services to the global energy industry.

Landmark, a Halliburton company, builds software and data platforms that help the global energy industry make better decisions. Our products span subsurface interpretation, well construction planning, reservoir simulation, and digital operations. These are tools used daily by engineers and scientists at the world’s largest energy companies. The Engineering organization owns the infrastructure, cloud operations, and deployment frameworks that make Landmark’s product portfolio available to customers across the globe: in the cloud, at the customer site, and in environments where connectivity cannot be assumed.

As the Senior Data Architect at Landmark, you will architect and design the next generation data platform Landmark applications will be built on. The Platform Delivery Managers own the team and its delivery commitments; you own the architecture.

You will represent the data platform in Landmark’s architecture community, partnering with the Chief Architect to ensure that all teams understand the data platform and the best practices to use it. You will also review application architectures to ensure proper adoption and usage of the data platform.

• Define and maintain the architecture for Landmark’s data platform layer, including architecture diagrams, documentation and architectural decision records.

• Partner with Landmark’s security team to ensure the data platform architecture satisfies security requirements and compliance frameworks, including SOC 2, regulated-site certification standards, and enterprise security policy, and that those requirements are encoded in the data platform’s architectural standards rather than handled case by case.
• Define the architectural patterns for tenant data isolation and data residency.

• Work with the architects in domain application teams to explain the proper use of the data platform.
• Review application architectures to verify the usage.
• Serve as the data platform representative in Landmark’s architecture community.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related STEM discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time spent on data layers including exposure to relational and unstructured data, data virtualization and federation, ETL, lake houses, medallion architectures and data platforms.
• Demonstrated track record of defining architectures at a platform level.
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce architectural specifications, decision records, and interface contracts that are precise enough to be implemented and clear enough to be understood by teams that did not write them.
• Demonstrated ability to influence technical peers across teams through the quality of architectural reasoning rather than organizational authority.
• Experience with at least one of AWS and Azure, their database offerings and other services such as object storage, Kubernetes.

• Experience with both AWS and Azure native services.
• Background in oil & gas.

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if your experience does not match every item in the preferred list.
