Key Responsibilities

• Own the enterprise data architecture vision end-to-end — ingestion through consumption — acting as technical authority for design reviews, mentoring engineering teams, and recommending tools for platform modernization.
• Design and maintain data models from conceptual to physical, and architect modern platforms (data lakes, warehouses, lakehouse), owning canonical models, reference data, and enterprise metadata.
• Oversee data analysis, profiling, and lifecycle management — quality, retention, lineage, auditability — and define enterprise data management standards.
• Build data governance frameworks covering quality, MDM, security, and privacy; partner with risk and compliance teams on regulatory adherence (BCBS 239, GDPR, PCI); implement cataloging and lineage.
• Lead large-scale migration from legacy systems to modern cloud platforms; drive ETL-to-ELT and lakehouse modernization; establish CI/CD and orchestration for data pipelines.
• Deliver data products for customer 360, AML/KYC, credit scoring, and regulatory reporting, translating business requirements from SMEs into solutions aligned with financial services standards.
• Architect distributed and real-time streaming pipelines, design secure and cost-efficient cloud architectures, and enable advanced analytics and ML workflows.

What We're Looking For?

Technical Experience

• 10+ years in Data Architecture, with 8+ years specifically in Data Engineering and Architecture roles.
• Proven senior or technical lead experience driving enterprise-scale data platforms.
• Deep expertise in data architecture, design, and modelling (3NF, Dimensional, Data Vault), ETL/ELT frameworks, distributed processing, and real-time/event-driven architectures.
• Strong hands-on programming with Python and distributed processing frameworks.
• Experience with streaming technologies (Kafka or equivalent).
• Hands-on experience with cloud-native data services on one or more major platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Strong exposure to data governance, metadata management, data quality, and lineage solutions.

Domain Expertise

• Strong understanding of insurance / financial services data across operational and analytical domains.
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks impacting data architecture and management.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Proven ability to lead and mentor cross-functional engineering and architecture teams.
• Strong stakeholder management, able to influence technical and non-technical audiences.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and decision-making capabilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Cloud architecture or data analytics certifications from leading cloud providers.
• Experience supporting machine learning data pipelines or MLOps initiatives.
• Familiarity with Data Mesh or domain-driven data product architectures.

What We Offer:

• Join a talented international team in a friendly, creative, and dynamic environment that fosters collaboration and support.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• Enjoy the flexibility of working 100% remotely from anywhere in the world while contributing to cutting-edge projects.
