  • Provide architectural governance and consultation across a portfolio of products, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards.
  • Shape technical vision, translate architectural concepts into business value, and present to C-level executives
Required Qualifications

  • Deep expertise in modern data architecture patterns (data pipeline, data mart and data fabric) and data processing frameworks (Spark, Kafka)
  • Advanced knowledge of knowledge graphs and semantic technologies (RDF, SPARQL, Neo4j)
  • Strong AI/ML background, particularly LLMs, and automated knowledge extraction from unstructured content
  • Data governance, compliance frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA, SOX), and enterprise security architectures
  • Extensive multi-cloud architecture experience (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid cloud strategies
  • Experience working in or with large-scale SaaS platforms, including deployment, scale, and operational considerations
  • Leadership and Communication
  • Proven ability to define and drive a compelling technical vision, leading large-scale architectural transformational initiatives
  • Demonstrated success in leading cross-functional teams within complex B2B environments
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with a strong ability to influence and align diverse technical and business stakeholders
