You’ll report to the IT Architect and be responsible for:

• Designing and refining our end-to-end data architecture, including data lakes, warehouses, pipelines, and governance frameworks.

• Defining and implementing data modeling standards, ensuring schemas, data lineage, and metadata enhance clarity and discovery.

• Driving architectural decisions on data platforms (cloud, hybrid, or on-prem), tooling, and integration to meet performance, scalability, and cost goals.

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams—business analysts, BI developers, data engineers, and IT—to translate business requirements into robust, efficient data solutions.

• Establishing best practices and standards for data quality, security, and governance, ensuring compliance with regulatory and internal policies.

• Monitoring system performance, optimizing data flows, and ensuring architectural integrity across all analytics environments.

• Leading data architecture reviews, code quality assessments, and fostering a culture of continual improvement and innovation.

Your Expertise:

To thrive in this role, you bring:

• 5+ years’ experience as a Data Architect or similar role, with demonstrable expertise in designing enterprise-grade data platforms.

• Proficiency in modern data engineering and analytics technologies—for example, cloud platforms (e.g., Azure Synapse, AWS Redshift, GCP BigQuery), ETL frameworks, data modeling tools, and data governance platforms.

• Hands-on experience with both relational and dimensional modeling techniques, modern data lakehouse design, and scalable pipeline architecture.

• Exposure to conceptual and logical data modelling practices for enterprise-wide data architecture.

• A solid understanding of data governance, master data management, and metadata management best practices.

• Proven collaborator—able to communicate complex architecture concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong problem-solving skills, autonomy, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

• Familiarity with Agile development practices and dataOps methodologies is a plus.

• Ideally, background or interest in trading, financial services, or commodities sectors.

If you meet these criteria and are ready to contribute your expertise to a dynamic and challenging environment, we encourage you to apply.
