leading architecture workshops; managing decision logs; producing enterprise-level architectural diagrams and architecture artifacts (reference architectures, domain models, integration patterns); and delivering executive-level communications in the form of transformation roadmaps, sequencing plans, and dependency maps. * Experience conducting vendor and platform evaluations, assessing key operating model decisions such as build vs buy, in-source vs out-source, and performing architectural tradeoff analysis across competing solution options. * Hands-on expertise with Master Data Management (MDM) platforms, with preference for modern cloud-native solutions like Semarchy, Profisee, Reltio, Curioum, and CluedIn; experience with established enterprise platforms including GoldenSource, Eagle DM/PACE, and Gresham/S&P/Markit EDM is also valuable. * Strong data modeling experience, including conceptual, logical, and physical modeling; experience with ERD tools like Erwin or ER/Studio is a plus. * Hands-on experience leading complex integration initiatives, ETL/ELT design (AWS Glue, Talend, Azure Data Factory, Fivetran, dbt), API-driven integration (async/sync, webhook/callback, event-driven, bulk), event streaming (Kafka, Kinesis, Event Hub), and real-time data distribution in large business data environments. * Strong understanding of data warehousing concepts and experience with cloud data platforms like Snowflake, Databricks, or Microsoft Fabric/Synapse; familiarity with modern data architecture patterns such as data mesh, data products, and lakehouse architectures. * Proficiency in data governance and metadata management, including stewardship models, business glossaries, lineage, and tools such as Collibra, Alation, or Informatica EDC. * Strong grounding in data quality and lifecycle management, including profiling, monitoring, remediation workflows, and policy-driven controls. * Ability to design scalable, secure, and reliable data architectures, incorporating best practices in access control, encryption, privacy, and regulatory compliance (e.g., SEC, GDPR, SOC2). * Experience with data orchestration and transformation frameworks. * Experience in the Asset & Wealth Management industry, with familiarity of investment data domains, operational workflows, and vendor ecosystems. * Experience managing data engineering projects using Agile or other methodologies. * Ability to lead cross-functional teams, influence senior stakeholders, manage expectations, and operate effectively in ambiguous client environments. ## Description * Input to project definition, resourcing and timelines and objectives within large scale or multiple projects. * Lead project team meetings and communicate effectively with internal and client peers, architects, system analysts, business analysts, project managers, quality control, and across other technology team boundaries, reporting project status as required. * Lead Alpha's internal IP accelerator development, across multiple areas of expertise. * Take a lead in mentoring and coaching team members. ## Related Videos - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [How we built an AI-powered code reviewer in 80 hours](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1511-how-we-built-an-ai-powered-code-reviewer-in-80-hours) - [Tips, Techniques, and Common Pitfalls Debugging Kafka](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/838-tips-techniques-and-common-pitfalls-debugging-kafka) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Blueprints for Success: Steering a Global Data & AI Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1577-blueprints-for-success-steering-a-global-data-ai-architecture) ## Related Articles - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [Why Event-Driven Architecture Isn’t About Speed (and When You Actually Need It)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/745-why-event-driven-architecture-isn-t-about-speed-and-when-you-actually-need-it) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production)
