**Skills:** Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Data Architecture, Data Governance, Data Infrastructure, Enterprise Data Management, Apache Spark, Data Strategy, Data Lakes, Collibra, Databricks - **Published:** September 14, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.buscojobs.com.es/data-architect-bi-architect-en-morcin-ID-371296737 ## About the Role They are executing a firm-wide data strategy to govern, manage and engineer data as a product across more than 70 business-owned sub-domains.As part of this, they are migrating to Databricks as the foundational layer of their Enterprise Data Platform, adopting a lakehouse architecture built on open formats, declarative pipelines and Unity Catalog.10+ years of data platform architecture experience, with several years on Databricks in production. ~ Deep hands-on knowledge of Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, Spark, Photon and Databricks Asset Bundles. ~ Strong data modelling: entity resolution, slowly changing dimensions, event and state modelling, semantic layer design. ~ Experience designing Azure-native EDP topologies (workspaces, clusters, network, identity, cost controls). ~ Experience implementing enterprise data catalogues (Collibra, Purview, Alation, AWS DataZone or similar) integrated with a technical catalogue. ~ Comfortable writing reference code, reviewing PRs and pairing with engineers. ~ Fluent working English.Prior exposure to investment management platforms, asset management operations data, market data feeds from major providersExperience applying agentic engineering tooling to platform work, including MCP-connected Databricks or cloud servers.Own the Lakehouse architecture, Unity Catalog design and medallion standards that every domain team builds against.Co-own the reference pattern library and evolve it wave over wave.Own the architecture of a large-scale enterprise data platform migration from the ground up - reference patterns, Unity Catalog design and medallion standards that every domain team builds against. xbhjioe You'll work at the leading edge of the Databricks ecosystem on a high-stakes lakehouse build, applying agentic engineering tooling to enforce standards through generation rather than documentation, and shaping the platform's technical foundations alongside a parallel data governance workstream. ## Description Data ArchitectLocation: Remote from Spain (an indefinite Spanish employment contract)We are hiring a Data Architect to join an Intellias delivery team on a large-scale enterprise data platform migration programme for a financial services client.You will co-own the pattern library with the client's architecture team, write reference implementations, and unblock engineering decisions across the programme.Project Overview:Our client is an independent, active global asset manager with over R3 trillion in assets under management.They are executing a firm-wide data strategy to govern, manage and engineer data as a product across more than 70 business-owned sub-domains.As part of this, they are migrating to Databricks as the foundational layer of their Enterprise Data Platform, adopting a lakehouse architecture built on open formats, declarative pipelines and Unity Catalog.10+ years of data platform architecture experience, with several years on Databricks in production.~ Deep hands-on knowledge of Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, Spark, Photon and Databricks Asset Bundles.~ Strong data modelling: entity resolution, slowly changing dimensions, event and state modelling, semantic layer design.~ Experience designing Azure-native EDP topologies (workspaces, clusters, network, identity, cost controls).~ Experience implementing enterprise data catalogues (Collibra, Purview, Alation, AWS DataZone or similar) integrated with a technical catalogue.~ Comfortable writing reference code, reviewing PRs and pairing with engineers.~ Fluent working English.Prior exposure to investment management platforms, asset management operations data, market data feeds from major providersExperience applying agentic engineering tooling to platform work, including MCP-connected Databricks or cloud servers.Own the Lakehouse architecture, Unity Catalog design and medallion standards that every domain team builds against.Co-own the reference pattern library and evolve it wave over wave.Own the architecture of a large-scale enterprise data platform migration from the ground up -
