If you are passionate about data architecture and modeling expertise, and can translate complex business processes into strong data models, this role is ideal for you! What You’ll Do Define and evolve enterprise data architecture principles, standards, and build specifications. Produce detailed technical development artifacts including data flow diagrams, process flows, and system interactions. Partner with collaborators to map processes, data flows, and system dependencies end-to-end and translate complex business processes into clear data and process flow builds. Design end-to-end data lifecycle within the enterprise data platform, from source systems through standardization to consumption.

Apply guidelines across 3NF, dimensional, and Data Vault modeling approaches. Ensure alignment between business definitions, data structures, and downstream consumption needs. Build and maintain canonical data models to enable consistency across systems and domains. Define enterprise integration patterns for data sharing (cloud share, batch, streaming, APIs, event-driven) and their appropriate use. Architect for interoperability across platforms, enabling decoupled and reusable data assets. Define data contracts and interface specifications between producers and consumers. Make and detail architecture trade-offs (e.g., normalization vs usability, latency vs consistency). Promote data quality, lineage, and governance throughout data flows. Perform data analysis and data profiling to validate assumptions and inform builds. Guide and mentor team members on architectural standards and technical build guidelines. What We’re Looking For Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Management, or related field. 5+ years of experience in data architecture or advanced data modeling roles. Proven experience designing models in manufacturing, gaming, or retail domains. Extensive experience in conceptual, logical, and physical modeling.
