Preferred Job Specific Skills – Data Architect

• Dimensional Modeling Mastery — Deep expertise in designing enterprise‑scale dimensional models (star, snowflake, constellation) with strong command of fact table grain definition, surrogate key strategies, slowly changing dimensions (Types 1–6), bridge tables, and late‑arriving data handling.
• Advanced SQL Engineering — Highly proficient in writing complex, high‑performance SQL, including window functions, CTE‑driven transformations, query plan analysis, cost‑based optimization, partitioning strategies, and performance tuning across large, distributed datasets.
• Snowflake Architecture & Engineering — Hands‑on experience with Snowflake internals including micro‑partitioning, clustering keys, result‑set caching layers, warehouse sizing/auto‑suspend tuning, Snowpipe/Streams/Tasks orchestration, Time Travel, Zero‑Copy Cloning, and secure data sharing patterns.
• Graph Database & Cypher Proficiency — Strong experience with Neo4j or equivalent graph platforms, including graph schema design, Cypher query optimization, graph algorithms (PageRank, community detection, pathfinding), and integration of graph workloads with analytical and relational systems.
• Microsoft Fabric Ecosystem — Practical experience with Fabric Lakehouse architecture, Delta Lake optimization, Data Engineering pipelines, Data Factory orchestration, KQL‑based Real‑Time Analytics, semantic model creation, and integration with Power BI and OneLake governance.
• SAP S/4HANA Data Structures —Familiarity of SAP S/4HANA data models (FI/CO, MM, SD, PP), CDS views, OData services, SLT/SDI/ODP‑based extraction patterns, and harmonization of SAP transactional data into cloud‑based analytical platforms.
• Cloud Data Architecture — Strong understanding of distributed data processing, ELT/ETL orchestration, event‑driven ingestion (Kafka/Event Hub), metadata‑driven frameworks, schema evolution, and data lifecycle management across cloud environments (Azure preferred).
• Data Governance & Metadata Management — Experience implementing enterprise data catalogs, lineage tracking, data quality rules, master data integration, and security models (RBAC/ABAC, row‑level and column‑level security).
• Performance Engineering & Optimization — Ability to diagnose bottlenecks across compute, storage, and network layers; optimize workloads for cost and performance; and design scalable, fault‑tolerant data architectures.
• Cross‑Platform Integration — Experience integrating heterogeneous systems (SAP, Snowflake, Fabric, graph DBs, APIs, streaming platforms) into unified analytical ecosystems with strong focus on interoperability and data consistency.
