Architect is responsible for ensuring the platform provides a high-performance, cost-effective, and secure foundation that evolves alongside business needs.

What the Architect will own: Platform Design & Research: Lead architectural decisions regarding compute engine selection, open-table format implementation, and tiered storage design. Agnostic Infrastructure: Architect a decoupled data environment that ensures interoperability across multiple engines and prevents proprietary vendor lock-in. Governance & Compliance: Design and oversee the implementation of automated data governance, including PII discovery, row/column-level security, and auditability. Standards & Frameworks: Define the "Definition of Done" for data pipelines, establishing coding standards, CI/CD patterns, and technical documentation requirements. Architectural Decision Records (ADR): Maintain a version-controlled repository of all consequential technical decisions, documenting the rationale, trade-offs, and long-term implications. Performance & FinOps: Monitor and optimize platform performance and spend, ensuring sub-second query speeds for massive user bases while maintaining a lean cloud footprint. Technical Stewardship: Conduct deep-dive code and design reviews for all data models and orchestration workflows; mentor and unblock senior engineering staff. Technical Skills & Experience: 8+ Years in Data Engineering / Architecture: Proven experience delivering production-grade Lakehouse environments for high-concurrency (1,000+ user) organizatio
