Job description

Type of Contract: B2B

We are seeking a Senior Data Architect to shape and oversee the architecture of our cloud data platform on Azure. The position centers on setting technical standards, mentoring engineering teams, and delivering scalable, secure, and efficient data solutions throughout the environment. You will drive the design and architecture of Data Products while guiding the migration of legacy systems into modern Azure data environments. This involves assisting teams in moving away from traditional MSBI reporting toward a Data Product model. Additionally, you will provide architectural supervision for specific third-party SaaS/COTS applications, focusing on integration, security frameworks, compliance, vendor alignment, and maintaining readiness for audits. This position also demands a solid grasp of audit procedures, vendor SOC reports, and secure authentication methods like Single Sign-On.

Key Responsibilities

• Shape and oversee the complete data architecture on Azure, setting standards and patterns for ingestion, integration, transformation, and Medallion architecture.
• Mentor teams on ETL/ELT practices, streaming data, integration strategies, and the overall design and creation of Data Products.
• Lead the migration of legacy systems into modern data platform environments, specifically moving from older MSBI reporting (SSIS, SSAS) to Data Products.
• Help select new technologies and advance the Azure data platform, keeping everything aligned with security, compliance, and enterprise architecture standards.
• Oversee the architecture of third-party SaaS/COTS applications, covering onboarding, security and access reviews, technical validation, and vendor cooperation.
• Assist with upgrades, troubleshooting, and technical alignment across applications, infrastructure, servers, networks, and integration points as needed.
• Facilitate external audits by reviewing necessary processes, internal controls, and vendor SOC reports.
• Enable the deployment of secure authentication models, including Single Sign-On.

Required Skills and Experience

• Proven experience as a Senior Data Architect or in a similar senior architecture role.
• Solid experience with cloud data platforms, ideally Azure.
• Proven experience with Azure services like Data Factory, Databricks, Event Hubs, Storage, and Functions.
• Deep knowledge of ETL/ELT, streaming, data modeling, Medallion architecture, and Data Product design.
• Strong proficiency in Python, Spark, and SQL.
• Solid understanding of Azure security, including Managed Identities, Service Principals, OAuth 2.0, Entra ID, Key Vault, and SSO.
• Experience with SaaS/COTS onboarding, security reviews, access management, and compliance (SOC reports, financial controls).

Experience working with external vendors and mixed delivery teams.

Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

Good understanding of audits, compliance, and controlled environments.
