We are building the next generation of Data/Analytics and Machine Learning driven products and features for our B2B portfolio.  We are looking for a Data Architect with deep experience across Data/Analytics platforms, infrastructure, pipelines and modeling. You have a strong handle on SQL and can  traverse many domain specific data models.  You have a working understanding of integrated data solutions and products requiring a low latency, performant, and resilient back end data platform(s).  

As an Architect, you will define and lead implementation of our Analytics data platforms and pipelines.  This role will require a system design thinker who can traverse inter-connected tiers (databases, data engineering/pipelines, multi-tenant low-latency distributed systems, event streaming, etc) and define an optimal strategy for implementation.  

You may also lead, shape and mentor a small team to help support our growing Analytics platform needs.  You are pragmatic, creative and can serve as a liaison for both technical and product/functional teams to understand and solicit high value requirements.  Above all, you are a constant and resourceful learner who is quick to evaluate and apply technologies that complement the overall vision.  

What You'll Do:

• Define the end-to-end architecture and standards for our core data platforms, data engineering pipelines.  
• Drive the implementation of a Modern Data Stack to ensure proper code driven version control, idempotent data pipelines (Airflow, etc), Transform layers (DBT) as well optimization of Extract/Load logic.   
• Work with Application Dev teams to design a central Metadata/Middleware layer which reflects the complex needs of our business units and Order2Cash product families
• Directly assist with data analysis, design approach, functional mapping of business needs to data model and pipeline
• Define standards for low latency data pipelines and ETL to ensure they are resilient, fault tolerant and within SLA
• Define conceptual, logical and physical data/query models and abstractions between various OLTP/OLAP databases and front end consumers.  
• Ensure solutions are designed for performance, scalability, and production stability.  
• Automate processes to optimize, alert, and ensure quality and consistency.  
• Define flexible standards and framework for cross-tier components (front end UIUX, middleware/API, etc.) while being keenly aware of enterprise security, and compliance 
• Assist with definition and implementation of the next generation of our software in AWS Cloud including technology assessment, migration strategy, and overall cost/benefit analysis.  
• Continuously research evolving (proprietary and open source) technologies and determine viability to further improve our products. 
• Familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes, Linux, Git, Jenkins, and modern CI/CD pipelines 

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• Bachelor’s Degree preferably in Computer Science, Engineering, or similar discipline.  
• Hands on experience both as an IC and leading distributed and cross functional teams to achieve successful business outcomes. 
• 10+ years of foundational data engineering experience supporting production grade enterprise systems. 
• 5+ years’ Experience with performance tuning of data pipelines (ETL/ELT)
• 3+ years’ experience with modern Data Engineering pipelines for large scale DBs, Python/Airflow as well as event streaming (Kafka, Boomi, etc).  Experience or ability to integrate with DBT, Airbyte and modern Reverse ETL solutions is a plus.  
• 5+ years’ experience managing and mentoring cross functional teams, working with business stakeholders, roadmap/project management. 
• 4+ years’ experience building highly scaled distributed solutions for high concurrency as well as performance.  
• 3+ years’ experience with SAAS product development and design in line with market adoption and impact.  
• 3+ years’ experience with design of containerized and distributed solutions using Kubernetes/Docker and implementation of DevOPS
• Experience across SQL and NoSQL databases and ability to adapt via fundamental understanding of SQL and data/application concepts
• Familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes, Linux, Git, Jenkins, and modern CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with Finance/Fintech a plus
