Data Architect

Senior Data Architect / Engineering Lead

100% Remote | B2B Contract

We are looking for a Senior Data Architect / Engineering Lead to design and build a robust data foundation for next-generation technology programs. This role plays a key part in shaping end-to-end data architecture while remaining hands-on in building scalable, production-ready data solutions.

The ideal candidate combines strong architectural thinking with deep engineering expertise, and is comfortable working in complex, high-growth, and greenfield environments.

Your Responsibilities

• Define and own the end-to-end data architecture across source systems, ingestion, streaming pipelines, storage, transformation, APIs, and consumption layers

• Design and implement scalable data pipelines for structured, semi-structured, unstructured, and real-time data

• Integrate data from enterprise systems, connected devices, sensors, operational platforms, third-party providers, and partner ecosystems

• Establish canonical data models and integration patterns across key entities (e.g. assets, events, locations, products, devices, users, operational processes)

• Collaborate with security and governance stakeholders to embed access control, lineage, quality, and compliance into the architecture

• Support real-time and near-real-time ingestion and processing use cases

• Drive interoperability across fragmented technical and business environments

• Define engineering standards, DataOps practices, monitoring, and reliability controls

• Enable downstream analytics, AI, automation, simulation, and data product consumption

• Provide technical leadership across platform selection, implementation sequencing, and delivery trade-offs

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience in data architecture and data engineering within complex, multi-source environments

• Strong hands-on experience building modern data pipelines and integration frameworks

• Experience with cloud-based data platforms and distributed data processing systems

• Solid understanding of batch, streaming, and event-driven architectures

• Experience with data modeling for both operational and analytical use cases

• Experience integrating machine, device, telemetry, or operational data into enterprise data platforms

• Strong knowledge of APIs, interoperability, and system integration patterns

• Ability to work as both an architect and a hands-on delivery lead

• Excellent communication skills with both technical and business stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Experience in frontier technology, industrial, infrastructure, or innovation-driven environments

• Familiarity with edge-to-cloud architectures, digital twins, simulation data, or AI-ready platform design

• Experience with metadata management, data lineage, and governance tooling

• Background in regulated, operationally sensitive, or multi-party ecosystems

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Strong systems thinker with a holistic architectural mindset

• Comfortable working with ambiguity and greenfield initiatives

• Execution-focused and hands-on

• Able to balance long-term architecture with short-term delivery needs

• Effective collaborator across product, engineering, business, and partner teams

What We Offer

• 100% remote work

• B2B contract

• Access to learning and training platforms

• Private healthcare
