This role will help clients modernize their technology landscape, optimize legacy systems, and enable scalable, cloud-native architectures aligned with business goals. The Data Architect will support enterprise data initiatives by designing and delivering scalable, modern data architecture solutions with a primary focus on canonical data modeling, semantic data mesh, and real‑time streaming architectures using Kafka. This role drives alignment across business domains and enables high‑quality, governed, and interoperable data for analytics and operational use cases.

Responsibilities:

1. Develop and enhance canonical data models, semantic models, and domain‑driven data contracts to enable cross‑enterprise data interoperability.

3. Design and implement data architecture patterns to support real‑time streaming solutions using Kafka.
4. Partner with product owners, domain architects, and data engineering teams to translate business needs into scalable, well‑governed data models.
5. Ensure consistent application of data governance, metadata management, and lineage standards across data domains.
6. Architect and optimize data pipelines and storage solutions using AWS (S3, Redshift, Glue, EMR, Lambda) and Snowflake.
7. Contribute architectural artifacts, modeling standards, and reusable templates for enterprise data modeling.
8. Support enterprise initiatives around real‑time data integration, semantic mesh, and AI/ML enablement through strong data architecture foundations.

• Significant experience with canonical data modeling and enterprise‑wide conceptual/logical/physical modeling.
• Strong background in semantic modeling and data mesh design principles.

• Hands‑on experience with Kafka, including event modeling, schema strategy, and real‑time pipeline architecture.
• Proficiency in AWS data services (S3, Redshift, Glue, EMR, Lambda, EC2) and Snowflake.
• Strong understanding of ETL/ELT design, data integration patterns, and distributed data systems.
• Familiarity with data governance, data quality, metadata, and lineage frameworks.
