Data Catalog & Governance Specialist

Why Join Us

At Cloudfide, we engineer solutions where data truly becomes an accelerator for innovation. We build and evolve large-scale Big Data and cloud-native platforms for global clients, including leaders in retail and the Fortune 500. We process massive, complex datasets, operate fully in the cloud ecosystem, and work with the latest technologies, including AI, ML, MLOps, and modern data architectures.

Our projects have measurable, real‑world impact - from enhancing customer experiences at scale to empowering data-driven decision-making in high‑visibility global organizations. As we continue to grow, you'll have the opportunity to shape solutions, mentor others, drive architecture decisions, and take ownership of strategic initiatives.

Opportunity Overview

As a Data Catalog & Governance Specialist, you will play a key role in helping our clients bring order, visibility, and trust to their data ecosystems. You'll work hands-on with enterprise data catalog platforms - such as Atlan, Alation, Collibra, or IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog - administering and configuring them to support data discovery, lineage, and governance workflows across large-scale cloud environments.

This is not a data engineering role - it's for someone who is platform-savvy, detail-oriented, and self-sufficient, comfortable navigating complex tools, identifying the right stakeholders, and keeping things moving independently.

You'll join a team of passionate engineers and data specialists who value technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous growth.

Your Responsibilities

• Administering and configuring data catalog platforms (Atlan, Alation, Collibra, IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog, or similar) to support data governance initiatives across client environments.

• Supporting the implementation and maintenance of data governance and data stewardship workflows, including ownership assignment, metadata management, and policy enforcement.

• Navigating the data catalog platform independently - understanding what's happening across datasets, identifying gaps, and coordinating with the right teams to resolve issues.

• Writing and executing SQL queries to support data validation, lineage checks, and governance reporting tasks.

• Building and maintaining low-code workflow logic within catalog or governance platforms to automate stewardship processes.

• Staying up to date with agentic AI technologies and their emerging role in data governance and catalog automation.

• Collaborating with data engineers, architects, and business stakeholders to ensure data assets are well-documented, discoverable, and trusted.

What We're Looking For

• 1+ year of commercial experience in a data catalog, data governance, data stewardship, or closely related role.

• Hands-on experience with at least one enterprise data catalog platform - Atlan, Alation, Collibra, IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog, or equivalent.

• Solid SQL skills - comfortable querying, validating, and exploring data across different environments.

• Familiarity with low-code workflow logic within governance or catalog tools.

• Self-sufficient and reliable - able to navigate unfamiliar platforms quickly, identify what's needed, and engage the right people without hand-holding.

• A quick learner with a proactive mindset and strong attention to detail.

• Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively across technical and business teams.

• Fluent English - our daily working language with international clients and teams.

Nice to Have

• High-level knowledge of Databricks Unity Catalog and data governance in lakehouse environments.

• Familiarity with Azure or GCP cloud platforms.

• Awareness of agentic AI technologies and their application in data management and automation.

• Experience working in data-heavy or enterprise-scale environments.
