Solution Data Architect

O projekcie:
We are looking for an experienced Data Platform Architect to lead the technical discovery and architecture workstream for a future-ready enterprise data platform. The role focuses on assessing the current data landscape, defining the target architecture, and providing practical recommendations for platform direction, integration patterns, governance, security, and the next phase of implementation.

This is a client-facing role combining enterprise data architecture, cloud platform expertise, and strategic advisory. You will help shape the “North Star” architecture and ensure the platform is scalable, secure, cost-effective, compliant, and ready to support advanced analytics and AI use cases.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone who can bring structure and clarity to a complex data environment. This role will suit an architect who can quickly understand fragmented systems, assess platform options objectively, and define a pragmatic target architecture that supports both current business needs and future AI-driven capabilities.

Wymagania:
