  • Build and maintain a comprehensive inventory of all data sources required for CDP and marketing activation use cases.
  • Design scalable XDM schemas and implement a complete identity architecture with stitching and merge policies.
  • Architect AWS-native ingestion pipelines for batch, streaming, validation, lineage, and reconciliation.
  • Integrate activation destinations while ensuring security, governance, compliance, and data-ready exports.
  • Lead historical and delta data migration with full traceability, checkpoints, and production-cutover readiness.
  • Define and operationalize data quality, observability, monitoring, and runbooks with measurable KPIs.

Requirements

Do you have experience in Solution architecture?, * 10+ years in data architecture, engineering, or solution architecture.

  • Deep expertise with AWS data services (S3, Glue, Kinesis, Redshift, EMR, Lambda, Lake Formation).
  • Strong background in MarTech/CDP ecosystems, identity design, and activation frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience with historical migrations, delta loads, and streaming ingestion.
  • Proficiency in schema modelling, profiling, lineage, mapping, and MDM-style identity strategies.
  • Strong understanding of data governance, security, compliance, and regulated environments.
