We are building a unified data strategy and enterprise data layer and need a Data Architect to lead architecture and governance on AWS. You will define blueprints, guide workstreams with the client and AWS, and ensure solutions follow AWS cloud-native best practices and the Well-Architected Framework - apply now.

Responsibilities

• Design scalable data models for ad delivery, audience segmentation, campaign reporting, and billing that fit the client's current systems and enable migration to the future-state architecture
• Architect data solutions using AWS services that comply with the program's approved tech stack

• Establish data governance standards, including lineage, cataloging, access controls, and compliance with the client's privacy and security requirements (per the Technical Security Plan)
• Build integration points between the client's legacy systems and the new microservices-based platform, ensuring data flows are clearly defined and documented
• Maintain data architecture artifacts such as ERDs, data flow diagrams, schema definitions, and data dictionaries
• Partner with the client and AWS as an SME, driving data strategy and alignment across workstreams

Requirements

• Extensive experience in data strategy and data governance (8+ years)
• Hands-on background in data modeling and ETL / data integration (6+ years)
• Proven track record creating architecture blueprints (2+ years dedicated)
