• Demonstrated experience designing and delivering solution architecture for enterprise-scale applications and data platforms in public cloud or hybrid environments.
• Strong experience in data modeling, including physical data modeling, schema design, entity relationships, and optimization for operational and analytical use cases.
• Demonstrated ability to map business requirements to source data, including source system analysis, attribute mapping, data dictionary, transformation design, data lineage, and end-to-end traceability.
• Proven experience owning or driving data quality as part of solution delivery, including validation rules, reconciliation logic, defect identification, and fit-for-purpose data controls.
• Experience establishing and managing data contracts with source systems, including schema alignment, data definitions, quality expectations, latency expectations, and change coordination.
• Strong understanding and practical experience in three or more of the following areas: real-time event and message processing; data lakes and modern data platforms; large-scale data transformation and analytics; IoT edge and cloud data processing; SQL and NoSQL data modeling; integration of operational and analytical systems.
• Good understanding of Agile delivery practices in cloud environments, including environment management, peer review, test automation, CI/CD, and resource optimization.
• Hands-on experience designing or developing solutions in a public cloud environment.
• Familiarity with Agentic AI, AI/ML-enabled solutions, analytics platforms, and data-driven applications.
• Understanding of enterprise data integration patterns and analytical ecosystems.
• Strong collaboration and interpersonal skills, with the ability to guide design discussions, mentor team members, and communicate effectively on complex or sensitive topics.
• Extensive knowledge of technologies, architecture methods, and design practices used to define end-to-end solutions, integration patterns, processing flows, and platform interactions.
• Ability to create solution designs that align with standards and support business and technical needs.
• Strong knowledge of data modelling principles, enterprise data design, and integration patterns.
• Ability to develop logical and physical data models, define scalable data structures, and support both operational (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) solution needs.
• Good understanding of data quality principles, controls, and governance expectations.
• Ability to define quality requirements, establish validation rules, support issue resolution, and ensure trusted, reliable, and fit-for-purpose data across solutions.
• Strong understanding of how to establish data contracts with source systems to ensure alignment on data definitions, schema, ownership, quality expectations, refresh patterns, and change control.
• In-depth problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to break down complex business and technical issues, identify root causes, and develop practical solution options.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences and collaborate effectively across teams.
