  • Guide the evolution of our Lakehouse architecture, including Iceberg/Delta formats, catalog integration, and data zone partitioning.
  • Establish scalable frameworks for data lineage, observability, and data quality enforcement.
  • Partner with Data Engineering, BI, and Product teams to design reusable data assets and semantic models.
  • Provide architectural leadership on schema evolution, schema versioning, and multi-domain data design patterns.
  • Evaluate and standardize tools for data cataloging, modeling, and metadata management.
  • Mentor senior engineers and lead architectural reviews of data-intensive projects.
Who You Are:
  • 10+ years of experience in data engineering, software engineering, or architecture roles.
  • Expert in enterprise data modeling (Kimball, Data Vault, or hybrid) and semantic modeling best practices.
  • Deep experience designing and operating scalable data lakes or Lakehouses (Iceberg, Delta Lake, or Hudi).
  • Strong knowledge of MPP and OLAP systems such as StarRocks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift.
  • Track record of implementing data governance frameworks and semantic layer strategies.
  • Hands-on experience with modern orchestration, processing, and modeling tools (Airflow, Spark, dbt, etc.).
  • Exceptional SQL skills and strong programming ability in either Python, Scala, or Java.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication and leadership skills, with the ability to drive alignment across stakeholders.
