Principal Data Architect

Job title : AI
Multi-Cloud Architecture Lead
Job Location : Palm Bach Florida , (Onsite )
Role Summary
Responsible for defining and advancing a cloud-agnostic, AI-enabled architecture strategy that supports enterprise analytics, automation, and operational decision-making across multi-cloud environments. This role leads architecture standards and governance across AWS and GCP while actively delivering hands-on prototypes, data pipelines, and AI integrations to accelerate adoption.
Operating as a shared services architecture function, this role both
guides and demonstrates
best practices-bridging strategy and execution to ensure scalable, cost-efficient, and production-ready solutions aligned with ServiceNow CMDB/APM and Apptio models.
