Data Architect

About

We’re currently supporting a global engineering organization, looking to bring in a very senior, hands-on Data Architect to help scale their enterprise data platform.

What you’ll be working on

You’ll be joining an existing data platform initiative built on Microsoft Fabric, with the goal of scaling and standardizing it across multiple digital products.

The architecture is already defined, your role is to bring it to life in production, ensure it scales properly, and enforce consistency across teams.

Day-to-day, you’ll be involved in:

• Scaling a Fabric-based data platform in a production environment
• Defining and enforcing data standards, governance, and security
• Building repeatable architecture patterns across products
• Driving CI/CD and DevOps practices for data (Terraform / IaC)
• Working closely with Azure and Databricks ecosystems
• Ensuring reliability, observability, and cost efficiency

Qualifications

You’ll likely be a strong fit if you:

• Have 10–15+ years of experience in data architecture / data platforms
• Have worked in large enterprise environments (high scale, complexity)
• Are hands-on, you’ve built and delivered platforms, not just designed them
• Have solid experience with Microsoft Fabric (must-have)
• Bring strong exposure to Databricks and Azure ecosystems
• Understand lakehouse architectures, data pipelines, and platform design at scale
• Are comfortable with DevOps, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Can challenge technical decisions, including vendor recommendations
• Are comfortable working in demanding, fast-paced environments

Logistics

• 100% remote
• Full-time (40h/week)
• Initial 4-month contract, with strong likelihood of extension

If you enjoy working on complex data platforms, real production challenges, and enterprise-scale systems, this is a strong opportunity to get involved in something meaningful.
