The position requires deep technical expertise in cloud data platforms, streaming systems, and lakehouse architectures, along with strong architectural leadership across cross-functional teams. You will collaborate closely with data engineering, analytics, ML, and business stakeholders to ensure data is structured, governed, and accessible for advanced use cases. A key part of the role involves setting enterprise-wide standards for data modeling, governance, and lifecycle management. This is a highly strategic position where your decisions directly influence data reliability, scalability, and business intelligence capabilities at scale.

Establish standards for data modeling, schema design, partitioning strategies, and data lifecycle management.
Design and optimize modern data architectures including lakehouse, warehouse, and streaming solutions using platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, Iceberg, Delta Lake, or Hudi.
Develop end-to-end data pipelines ensuring performance, reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency across batch and streaming systems.
Lead implementation of data governance, cataloging, lineage, and metadata management solutions using tools such as Collibra, Alation, Atlan, or DataHub.
Define and enforce data security architecture including access controls, encryption, masking, and identity-based governance.
Partner with analytics, ML, and business teams to align platform capabilities with downstream data consumption needs.
Provide architectural leadership, conduct design reviews, and mentor engineering teams on best practices and standards.
Drive cloud cost optimization, capacity planning, and operational excellence across data infrastructure.
Design disaster recovery, high availability, and multi-region strategies for enterprise data systems.

Requirements:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
8+ years of experience in data engineering with strong focus on data architecture and platform design.
Deep expertise in at least two major data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift).
Strong hands-on experience with distributed processing and streaming technologies such as Spark, Flink, or Kafka.
Solid understanding of lakehouse architecture, modern data formats, and scalable data modeling techniques.
Experience implementing data governance, lineage, metadata, and catalog solutions in enterprise environments.
Strong knowledge of cloud infrastructure, networking, identity management, and cost optimization strategies.
Proven ability to lead large-scale data platform initiatives across multiple teams.
Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and architectural documentation skills.
Experience with data mesh concepts, semantic layers, or regulated data environments is a plus.

Benefits:

Competitive compensation aligned with experience and expertise
Full-time, direct W2 employment with long-term engagement stability
100% remote work within the United States
Comprehensive benefits package including healthcare coverage
Opportunity to work on enterprise-scale, modern data platform architecture
