About The Role
We are seeking an experienced Senior Data Architect to lead the architecture and design of a strategic pilot initiative focused on migrating analytics data integrations from SAP Data Intelligence (SAP DI) to SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC) within a production environment.
The successful candidate will drive the end-to-end architecture of three complex data integrations into a modern Databricks-based analytics platform, ensuring scalability, governance, performance, and alignment with enterprise architecture standards. This role requires strong expertise across SAP data ecosystems, cloud data platforms, data modelling, and stakeholder engagement within a large-scale enterprise environment.
Key Responsibilities
Data Architecture & Solution Design
- Lead the high-level and detailed architecture design for three SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC) data integrations into a Databricks analytics platform.
- Design and define integration architectures, ingestion patterns, data processing flows, and Medallion Architecture load strategies.
- Develop source-aligned conceptual, logical, and physical data models, including detailed data mappings.
- Document the current ("As-Is") architecture where data feeds originate from SAP Data Intelligence (SAP DI).
- Create and document the future-state ("Target State") architecture leveraging SAP Business Data Cloud.
Architecture Governance & Delivery Assurance
