What you'll do
- Define and drive the target architecture for an AI-first enterprise data and analytics platform, establishing the technical direction and patterns needed to modernize and consolidate the analytics technology stack
- Architect scalable data infrastructure, ingestion and transformation frameworks, storage models, and integration patterns across Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, Python, SQL, and related systems
- Design governed semantic data layers and the supporting architecture for AI agents, natural language querying, conversational analytics, and other AI-powered data experiences
- Establish architecture patterns for retrieval, APIs, and integrations that allow AI agents and applications to securely discover, understand, and interact with trusted enterprise data
- Lead the evolution of data governance, security, privacy, access control, and compliance patterns across the analytics stack, balancing accessibility with appropriate safeguards
- Establish and champion engineering standards for data modeling, testing, observability, CI/CD, documentation, deployment, and system integration, improving the reliability and maintainability of the analytics platform
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to the Analytics Engineers on the team
What we're looking for
- 7+ years of experience designing and evolving modern data and analytics architectures, including responsibility for architectural decisions that span multiple systems, teams, or business use cases
- Deep experience with modern cloud data platforms and analytics engineering practices, including Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, Python, and SQL
- Experience designing scalable data models, transformation pipelines, semantic or metrics layers, and integration patterns that enable trusted self-service analytics
- Experience architecting or implementing AI-enabled data systems, such as natural language analytics, AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector search, or related LLM-powered data workflows
- Strong knowledge of enterprise data governance, security, privacy, access control, and data quality practices, with experience translating those requirements into practical technical architecture
- Experience establishing engineering practices such as automated testing, CI/CD, observability, version control, and reliable deployment patterns for data and analytics systems
- Demonstrated ability to set technical direction, evaluate complex architectural trade-offs, and influence decisions across teams without relying on direct authority
- Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex data and AI architecture into clear decisions, standards, and technical direction for both technical and business partners
Nice to have
- You've helped modernize or consolidate a fragmented enterprise data ecosystem into a more cohesive modern data stack
- You've designed semantic or metrics layers specifically to support AI-powered, conversational, or self-service analytics
- You have experience taking AI agents or RAG-based data applications from architecture through production implementation
- You've developed reusable frameworks, standards, or platform capabilities that increased the effectiveness of analytics and engineering teams
- You enjoy mentoring engineers and raising technical standards while remaining an individual contributor
- You're comfortable operating in ambiguous technical environments where the architecture is still being defined and your decisions will influence how teams build for years to come
