Data Platform Architect - Azure & Snowflake at BairesDev

In this role, you'll take a greenfield Azure and Snowflake environment to a production‑grade managed platform, replacing manual, ad hoc automation with modern, reliable infrastructure. Owning security and architecture decisions end to end, you'll work side by side with investment professionals, where client‑facing communication matters as much as technical depth. This is your opportunity to build a modern data platform from the ground up in a regulated environment, shaping both the technical architecture and the trust that business stakeholders place in it.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build Azure data architecture from the ground up, replacing manual processes with managed services.
• Set up Snowflake greenfield environments, including accounts, warehouses, RBAC, masking, and row‑level security.
• Design access architecture using Entra ID and managed identity.
• Build event‑driven ingestion pipelines, including change‑triggered extraction, queues, and webhooks.
• Own security posture and architecture decisions in a regulated environment.
• Work directly with investment professionals as the client‑facing technical authority.

What We Are Looking For

• 8+ years of experience in data architecture.
• Strong expertise in Azure data architecture.
• Hands‑on experience with Azure managed data services, including Microsoft Fabric, Data Factory, Functions, and ADLS Gen2.
• Proven experience with Snowflake greenfield setup, including accounts, warehouses, RBAC, masking, and row‑level security.
• Experience designing access using Entra ID and managed identity, or Microsoft Graph.
• Experience with event‑driven ingestion, including change‑triggered extraction, queues, and webhooks.
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL.
• Advanced proficiency in English.

Nice To Have

• Experience with CI/CD using GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or Bicep.
• Experience with observability and data alerting.
• Background owning security posture in regulated environments.
• Experience with REST API integrations such as CRM or market data vendors.
• Experience with retrieval and agent data layers, including context design and token cost awareness.
• Familiarity with Claude Code, Cowork skills, or MCP connectors.
• Experience with unstructured data lake design for document corpora.
• Background designing portable architecture that avoids vendor lock‑in.
• Experience with entity resolution and master data matching.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Graph API, including SharePoint permissions.
• Experience with Snowflake Cortex or dbt.
• Private equity, investment management, or other regulated domain exposure.
