We are looking for a Data & Analytics Architect with strong experience in modern data platforms and applied AI. The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in data warehouse/lakehouse architectures, data engineering, and analytics with the ability to envision and articulate AI-enabled solutions for customer business challenges. This role operates at the intersection of data platforms, integrations, analytics, and AI—helping customers reimagine decision-making and operational workflows through GenAI, intelligent agents, ML-driven insights, and advanced analytics on unified data foundations. Unlike a pure data engineering role, this position is customer-facing and solution-oriented, requiring strong delivery skills, value-based storytelling, and the ability to design conceptual architectures that integrate AI/ML with enterprise data platforms, applications, and operational systems.
