Solution Architect
Overview of the Role
The Data Solution Architect is responsible for defining and owning the architecture of our cloud data platform and providing technical direction across its full lifecycle, from ingestion to analytics, BI, ML and AI. The role leads the data architecture practice within the Data Tribe and sets the overall technical vision for a modern lakehouse platform built on AWS and Databricks, serving multiple brands and markets in a regulated industry.
What You’ll Do
Architecture & Vision
•
Define the target architecture of the data platform: its main components, data flows, interfaces and integration with operational and external systems.
•
Design the lakehouse and medallion architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold), including data organisation, isolation and sharing models across brands and markets.
•
Define the coexistence model between Databricks (analytics, BI, ML, AI) and AWS (operational services), including storage, integration and governance boundaries.
•
Establish a clear architectural vision that serves as a common reference for engineering, product and business stakeholders.
Data Platform Engineering
•
Design batch and streaming ingestion patterns (Kafka/MSK, CDC, batch), including real-time and low-latency use cases.
•
Lead the architecture of historical data migration from existing systems (cloud data warehouse and on-premises sources) to the new platform, including cutover and reconciliation strategy.
•
Define data modelling standards, data quality and lineage practices, and table format strategy (Delta / Iceberg).
•
Design data governance and access control (Unity Catalog, Lake Formation, IAM), ensuring market-level isolation and regulatory compliance.
Architecture Governance
•
Own architecture principles, standards and reference architectures.
•
Maintain Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for significant technical decisions.
•
Lead architecture reviews and ensure solutions follow agreed platform standards.
•
Define and drive adoption of data contracts between data producers and consumers, covering schema, semantics, quality expectations, SLAs and ownership.
Leadership & Collaboration
•
Supervise and guide data engineering teams; review designs and code and provide constructive feedback.
•
Evaluate the existing architecture and work with teams on continuous improvement.
•
Research emerging data technologies and propose architectural changes where they add value.
•
Collaborate with other architects to establish common standards, patterns and principles.
•
Support Programme and Product Managers in defining data strategy, roadmap and capacity allocation for enablement work.
•
Work with vendors and partners (e.g. AWS, Databricks) on architecture reviews and technical decisions.
•
Mentor engineers and help build in-house capability on the new platform.
What You’ll Bring
Working Experience
•
7+ years in IT/software architecture or senior data engineering, with at least 3–4 years designing cloud data platforms.
