We are seeking a Data Architect to lead a greenfield initiative: building the backbone of our new Enterprise Data Warehouse and migrating our data estate to a dimensional modelling environment.
In this pivotal role, you will own the enterprise data architecture and platform design. Working closely with Data Engineers, Data Analysts and Data Governance Manager, you will focus on system design, modelling strategy, and handling high-volume challenges — such as processing half-hourly meter reads — at scale.
We Deliver Progress.. What you'll do and how you'll make an impact:
- Enterprise Data Architecture: Design the end-to-end platform blueprint, ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance from ingestion to consumption.
- Greenfield Data Modelling: Champion Kimball dimensional modelling methodologies to design a robust, scalable schema for our new enterprise data warehouse.
- System Design: Architect complex systems for massive scale and high-frequency streams, defining batch and streaming patterns for implementation.
- Tooling & Integration: Partner with Data Governance to select and integrate modern tooling (e.g., Dataform, cataloging) into the platform architecture. You will lead the selection and implementation of our first Data Catalog and Observability tools.
- Work with our regulated domains to design patterns that allow us to efficiently meet the continuous data needs of our regulators and auditors.
- Governance Support: Design systems that technically enforce the frameworks and policies owned by the Data Governance Manager.
The First 6 Months: Success Looks Like...
- 30 Days: A complete "As-Is" map of our most critical data flows (Commission, Billing) and a clear identification of the "Top 10" tech-debt bottlenecks.
- 3 Months: The launch of a "Golden Path" Dataform template and the first "V2" Medallion-compliant data models for a core business domain.
- 6 Months: A 2-year North Star roadmap and the implementation of basic Automated Data Quality monitoring on our top-tier Gold tables.
