VIQU have partnered with a growing organisation undergoing a large scale brownfield transformation, replacing an existing data platform with a modern, scalable solution, and so are hiring a data architect to design this platform.

• Define data standards and establish a robust data governance framework, developing data quality and security standards in line with regulatory requirements.
• Ensure readiness for AI/ML integration.
• Evaluate emerging tools, cloud platforms and analytics technologies.
• Work with external partners to establish a “single version of the truth” across the industry and enable secure data sharing.

Requirements

• Previous experience as a Data Architect, having previously shaped or matured an organisation’s data landscape.
• Broad knowledge of modern data platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks).
• Strong data modelling expertise.
• Comfortable working through ambiguity and able to communicate architectural decisions at a senior level.
