Senior Data Architect

💻 Your day-to-day responsibilities

• Define and lead the design of edge-native data architectures for industrial network telemetry, covering ingestion, modeling, storage, and local inference layers.
• Translate and adapt modern cloud lakehouse patterns (Apache Iceberg) into scalable, edge-compatible architectures, ensuring efficiency in constrained environments.
• Own the end-to-end data architecture, including data modeling, partitioning strategies, lifecycle management, and evolution of datasets.
• Design and oversee data orchestration frameworks (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster, or similar), ensuring reliability, observability, and scalability across distributed edge systems.
• Architect modular, reusable, and protocol-agnostic ingestion frameworks tailored for industrial edge gateways and heterogeneous data sources.
• Partner closely with AI/ML teams to define robust data pipelines that enable on-device inference, real-time analytics, and anomaly detection use cases.
• Produce and maintain architecture decision records (ADRs), technical blueprints, and reference architectures, aligning with product strategy and long-term scalability.
• Drive the evolution of decentralized, real-time, low-latency data platforms, minimizing dependency on centralized cloud infrastructures.
• Act as a technical reference and decision-maker, guiding best practices in data architecture, governance, and platform design.
