Build the Future of Data SolutionsAt Arkatechture, we believe data should empower better decisions. Since 2012, we've partnered with financial institutions across the country to solve complex data challenges through modern analytics, cloud technologies, and AI-powered solutions.
Our mission is built on three simple pillars:
- Do something meaningful
- With a great team
- Earning what you deserve
We're looking for an experienced technical leader who is passionate about solving complex data problems, mentoring others, and helping customers unlock the full potential of their data. If you enjoy writing SQL one minute, architecting a cloud data solution the next, and coaching teammates along the way, we'd love to meet you.
The OpportunityAs the Technical Lead, Data Analytics, you'll serve as the senior technical expert for a portfolio of enterprise customers while helping shape the future of our Support Services team.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a people manager who occasionally reviews code. You'll spend much of your time solving challenging SQL and cloud data platform problems, partnering directly with customers, mentoring analysts, and driving technical excellence across the organization.
While this role is expected to grow into formal people leadership, your technical expertise, problem-solving ability, and customer partnership skills are what will make you successful from day one.

- A strong understanding of data modeling, ELTprocesses, and modern analytics architecture
