The Role:
We are looking for a highly skilled Data Solution Architect with deep expertise in designing and implementing cloud-native data platforms. The ideal candidate will have strong experience across Azure and AWS, with the ability to create scalable, secure, and high-performing data architectures that meet complex business needs.
You will play a key role in shaping data strategies, designing end-to-end data solutions, and supporting delivery teams in the execution of cloud-based projects. You'll be client-facing, influencing stakeholders, contributing to pre-sales, and ensuring data solutions align with modern best practices in cloud architecture and governance.

- Strong background in data architecture, including data modeling, warehousing, real-time and batch processing, and big data frameworks.
- Proficiency with modern data tools and technologies such as Spark, Databricks, Kafka, or Snowflake (bonus).

- Excellent troubleshooting skills and the ability to lead technical problem-solving efforts.
- Strong communication skills, able to clearly articulate complex solutions to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Ability to lead and mentor technical SMEs and data engineering teams.
