Job description

You'll design data platforms and enterprise-scale data solutions on Azure, working across architecture, implementation and client needs. The role combines hands-on architectural work with close collaboration with implementation teams and stakeholders, from shaping the solution to supporting its delivery.

What you'll actually work on?

• Gather requirements and translate business and technical needs into data platform architectures.
• Design enterprise-scale Data Platforms, Data Warehouses, Data Lakehouses, ETL processes and Machine Learning solutions.
• Identify where AI can add value within a data platform and help clients translate potential use cases into practical platform requirements.
• Consider how data platforms should evolve to support AI-driven solutions , taking into account data availability, access, governance and scalability.
• Define architecture across connectivity, authentication and authorization, CI/CD, data access, governance, scalability and cost management.
• Work with clients on data strategy and help shape practical approaches to adopting and modernizing cloud data platforms.
• Prepare cloud adoption roadmaps, project documentation, estimations and delivery timelines.
• Support implementation teams from concept through delivery, providing architectural guidance and helping resolve complex technical challenges.
• Stay close to evolving Data Platform and AI architecture patterns and assess how new capabilities can be applied to real project needs.

What you'll work with?

You'll work with Azure infrastructure and identity components, including VNETs and VMs, as well as Cloud Adoption Framework concepts across enterprise and data environments.

You'll probably enjoy working with us if...

• You like turning complex business and technical requirements into architectures that teams can actually implement.
• You're interested not only in building data platforms, but also in finding the right place for AI within them.
• You enjoy exploring how AI can be supported by the underlying data, architecture and governance rather than treating it as a separate layer.
• You enjoy working at both the strategic level and close to the technical details.
• You are comfortable bringing different perspectives together and moving architectural decisions forward.
• You can explain technical trade-offs clearly to business stakeholders, engineers and technology leaders.
• You like taking ownership of difficult architectural questions rather than waiting for a predefined solution.
• You keep an eye on how data platform and AI architecture is evolving and enjoy exploring what new capabilities can bring to projects.

This collaboration might not be for you if...

You're looking for one predictable project that will stay largely unchanged for the next few years.

You want to receive a finished specification, build exactly what's written there and move to the next topic..

You'd rather stay away from client conversations and collaboration with different stakeholders.

Elitmind is a consulting company. Projects, clients, industries and technologies change. You'll collaborate with experienced people around you, but you'll also have a lot of freedom and responsibility for figuring out how to move your own area forward.
