The Opportunity

We’re looking for an experienced, visionary Data Architect to join our expanding data organization. This is a critical role responsible for designing, governing, and optimizing the enterprise data architecture that powers scalable analytics, real-time data processing, AI/ML workflows, and secure data operations across the business.

You will architect end-to-end data ecosystems, spanning streaming, warehousing, lakehouse, governance, and ML enablement, to ensure high performance, extensibility, and long-term sustainability. The ideal candidate is deeply technical, hands-on with modern cloud data platforms, and highly skilled in data modeling, security, streaming architectures, and enterprise guardrails. If you thrive in complexity, think strategically, and deliver data foundations that scale, this role offers the opportunity to shape Dynatron’s data future.

What You’ll Do

Data Architecture & Modeling

• Design scalable conceptual, logical, and physical data models supporting OLTP, OLAP, real-time analytics, and ML workloads.
• Architect modular, domain-driven data structures for multi-domain analytics.
• Apply modern modeling techniques, including 3NF, Dimensional Modeling, Data Vault, Medallion Architecture, and Data Mesh principles.
• Define canonical models, conformed dimensions, and enterprise reference datasets.
• Ensure performance, usability, and long-term maintainability of data schemas.

Real-Time & Streaming Architecture

• Architect real-time ingestion and event-driven pipelines using Kafka, Kinesis, Pulsar, or Azure Event Hub.
• Implement CDC frameworks such as Debezium, Fivetran, or StreamSets.
• Design low-latency, high-throughput streaming architectures for operational and analytical use cases.
• Build real-time data models supporting live analytics and data-driven decision-making.

ML/AI Data Architecture

• Design ML-ready datasets, feature stores, and reproducible data pipelines.
• Partner with ML and Data Science teams to enable production-grade model workflows.
• Integrate modern AI/ML platform capabilities (e.g., Snowflake Cortex, Databricks Feature Store, AWS Bedrock).
• Architect for drift detection, data quality monitoring, lineage visibility, retraining workflows, and model governance.

Cloud Data Platform Architecture

• Design scalable architectures using Snowflake, Databricks, or other cloud-native platforms.
• Build data pipelines using ADF, Databricks Workflows, AWS Glue, Step Functions, or equivalent technologies.
• Optimize compute and storage performance leveraging Delta, Iceberg, Parquet, and lakehouse patterns.
• Implement governance controls, including RBAC, masking, tokenization, and secure data sharing.

Data Security, Privacy & PII Protection

• Architect secure data environments aligned with GDPR, CCPA, PCI, SOC 2, and other regulatory frameworks.
• Implement encryption, masking, hashing, and IAM/RBAC policies.
• Design retention, lineage, and access governance for sensitive data.
• Collaborate with Compliance to ensure proper handling of PII/PHI and protected datasets.

Enterprise Governance & Guardrails

• Define enterprise-wide modeling standards, data contracts, and schema evolution guidelines.
• Establish reference architectures and curated “golden” datasets.
• Create SLAs/SLOs across data domains to ensure reliability and quality.
• Enforce adherence to governance, quality, and architectural frameworks.

Leadership, Mentorship & Collaboration

• Mentor data engineers and guide architectural best practices.
• Lead design reviews and cross-functional architectural discussions.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, ML, and analytics teams to ensure alignment on data strategy.
• Communicate risks, trade-offs, and long-term architectural impact with clarity.

Delivery, Scalability & Operational Excellence

• Ensure data systems meet SLAs and scale with business demand.
• Drive observability, monitoring, and alerting across data platforms.
• Reduce technical debt through proactive governance and architectural discipline.
• Support the full data lifecycle: design → build → deployment → governance.
