Our client now requires a talented Data Architect for a long-term well-known client of theirs. They are a growing consultancy that has a vast number of long-term projects with major brands. The role needs a seasoned Data Platform architect who is able to demonstrate heavy "Hands-On" Execution. This is not a role for an enterprise or solution architect who only creates diagrams, documents strategies, or focuses solely on leadership/stakeholder management. The ideal person will have worked in either consultancy with enterprise clients or have worked in Consumer (e.g. Retail, Hospitality).
The architecture design is already done; the team is currently putting things together, deploying code, and promoting to environments. While the role might transition back to a traditional architect profile in the future, the immediate need is of a builder.
Core Technical Skills:- Cloud Platform: Deep knowledge of AWS.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Must know how to provision infrastructure using code, preferably Terraform (CloudFormation is acceptable as an alternative).
- Architecture Style: Strong experience with Event-Driven Architectures.
- Streaming/Messaging: Hands-on experience with Kafka.
- Programming Language: Proficiency in Python.
- Domain: Platform Engineering is highly desired over standard data pipelining. They are building the platform foundation, not data pipelines/lakes.
The ideal candidate will be able to execute highly technical tasks but also possesses a strong developer experience mindset and technical maturity. You will also have very strong communication skills as you will be attending client site; you will need to build strong relationships with both the technical team and business stakeholders.
You must have the right to work in the UK - this client does not provide any sponsorship.
