What You’ll Do

• Lead the design and implementation of scalable, high-performance data platforms on Azure
• Own enterprise-wide data modelling for trading and financial systems – from market data to trade flows and risk metrics
• Build and optimise pipelines for near real-time and batch processing using Databricks and related tech
• Define and implement data standards, lineage, governance, and quality metrics across systems
• Collaborate closely with tech, data, and trading teams to align architecture with business strategy
• Contribute to the long-term vision for cloud-based, enterprise-grade data infrastructure

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Data Architect in a financial services or commodities trading environment
• Deep hands-on expertise with Databricks; Snowflake experience also considered
• Strong track record in designing data models for trading, market data, and risk systems
• Strategic thinker with the ability to translate business goals into technical data solutions
• Proficient in building data pipelines (ETL/ELT), data streaming (Kafka/Spark), and integration/API work
• Solid grasp of Azure (preferred), but AWS/GCP also welcome
• Familiarity with governance tools (e.g. Purview, Collibra) is a plus
