About the Role

As a Data Platform Architect, you’ll have the chance to transform how our clients access and process data, help drive their data maturity, and enable them with data-driven decision making.

We’re looking for a hands-on practitioner to take ownership of our AWS focused Enterprise Data Platforms offering and shape this to future market needs.

You will be comfortable defining and building AWS infrastructure, while also able to discuss the finer details of data warehouses, lakes, lake houses and mesh architectures with client stakeholders and internal teams. You will often be the key subject matter expert on proposals and bids.

Expect to work with clients about 70% of the time with 30% for developing this capability, contributing to presales and curating accelerators. There will also be the opportunity to blog, talk at events and reach the data community too.

About You

This is a senior role and fits within our Data Professional Services team to provide the successful applicant great freedom to mature and evolve our data platform accelerators. We think this role would suit many different backgrounds and skills, we only ask that you:

• Work in an AWS environment
