Data Architect

We are looking for a Data Architect to lead the design and development of a next-generation data platform for a leading data and financial information services organisation. In this role, you will analyse the current state, define the target architecture, and work alongside solution architects to build a strategic data roadmap in close collaboration with engineering, product, and business teams.

This is a hands-on architectural role focused on producing clear, structured, and forward-looking designs. Your work will directly shape how data is governed, traced end-to-end, and used across the organisation.

Qualifications

Responsibilities

Evaluate the current data architecture across pipelines, storage, data flows, and integrations, and identify opportunities to optimise for performance, scalability, and maintainability.

Design and deliver data lineage solutions that provide end-to-end visibility into how data originates, moves, and transforms across the platform, ensuring traceability for regulatory and operational purposes.

Establish data classification and sensitivity policies in alignment with information security requirements.

Work with platform engineering to define event-driven data ingestion patterns and to align on shared compute strategies.

Contribute to a data product roadmap that captures key milestones, governance checkpoints, and architectural priorities.

Collaborate with engineering and business subject matter experts to align the architecture with product requirements and evolving ML and AI workflows.

Provide architectural guidance on access management, data privacy, and compliance controls. Produce clear visual and written documentation suitable for both technical and non-technical audiences.
