Data & AI Architect

We are looking for a candidate who confidently knows and understands different technologies, is able to deliver data architecture designs and recommendations, supported by both high‑level and detailed documentation, as well as choose appropriate technologies and tooling, design data models and pipelines, and define clear implementation roadmaps with scaling considerations. We are looking for someone passionate about the opportunity to independently design and deliver data architecture solutions that directly address client requirements and business goals. If you are comfortable defining, executing, and validating proof‑of‑concepts (PoCs) across multiple industries and projects, keep reading below:

What You Will Do:

Design and propose changes to current data systems, including migration paths and modernization strategies for legacy architectures

Define and evolve the target architecture for data platforms, covering ingestion, storage, processing, and consumption layers

Design and implement both batch and streaming/event-driven architectures to support diverse data processing requirements

Evaluate and recommend technology stacks across Azure, AWS, GCP and on-premises environments for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments

Design scalable, high-throughput data pipelines capable of handling large data volumes with low latency

Architect and deliver reporting systems using Power BI, Apache Superset, Grafana, or Tableau

Translate business and product requirements into technical architecture, data models, and implementation blueprints

Lead PoC design, implementation, and validation including architecture documentation

Assess AI/ML readiness including data availability, quality, governance, and infrastructure constraints

Ensure alignment with security, compliance, and regulatory standards including GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS across all deployment environments

Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Domain Experts

Provide technical guidance during the transition from architecture to implementation
