• Collaborate with engineering, data science, BI, and architecture teams
• Enable self‑service analytics, governed consumption, and data product development
• Provide architectural guidance and act as technical authority on data topics
• Ensure adherence to security, compliance, and data protection standards

• Strong knowledge of data architecture, integration and modeling approaches, including conceptual, logical, and physical modeling
• Solid understanding of data processing patterns including batch, streaming, operational data flows, and serving layers
• Proficiency in Python and SQL
• Familiarity with data mesh, domain‑oriented architectures, and federated governance
• Strong experience with cloud platforms (preferably Azure), containerization and integration technologies
