We’re Hiring: Senior Data & Analytics Architect
We’re looking for a Senior Data & Analytics Architect to join our team and work directly with startup CTOs, engineering teams, and account teams. This is a hands-on, customer-facing architecture role where you will design and deliver production-grade data platforms on AWS.
The role is focused on turning real business problems into working systems, from early discovery and architecture design to supporting implementation. This is not a pure strategy or management role, it’s about making clear technical decisions and ensuring they hold up in production.
📍 Work location: hybrid from London
If you are interested in this opportunity, please submit your CV in English.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and deliver end-to-end data platforms on AWS, covering ingestion, storage, processing, and serving layers, including Well-Architected reviews and contribution to SOWs and HLDs
- Work directly with startup customers to understand requirements, challenge assumptions, and shape practical solutions
- Lead technical discussions, workshops, architecture reviews, and POCs
- Translate ideas and early concepts into clear architectures, including HLDs, SOWs, and implementation direction
- Make and explain trade-offs across cost, performance, scalability, and complexity
- Stay close to delivery, supporting teams to ensure solutions are implemented correctly
- Collaborate with Data Engineers, DevOps, Solution Architects and Account Managers to move projects from concept to production
- Contribute to internal standards, reusable patterns, and reference architectures
- Operate in a fast-paced, project-based environment with multiple customer engagements
- Stay up to date with modern Data Engineering and Analytics practices, and contribute to internal enablement, patterns, and knowledge sharing
- Work in a customer-facing environment that includes occasional travel, both locally for meetings and events, and internationally around once per quarter
