## Description

Ben jij sterk in het ontwerpen van schaalbare data-architecturen? Denk jij graag na over hoe data-platformen, governance, integratie en analytics logisch samenkomen? Mooi, dan zoeken wij jou.

Onze data-experts helpen organisaties om data beter, slimmer en duurzamer in te zetten. Als Data Architect kijk jij verder dan losse oplossingen. Jij helpt organisaties keuzes te maken in architectuur, platforminrichting, datamodellering en governance, zodat data-oplossingen niet alleen werken, maar ook schaalbaar, beheersbaar en toekomstbestendig zijn.

 * Ontwerpen van moderne data-architecturen in cloudomgevingen zoals Azure, AWS of Databricks.
 * Vertalen van businessdoelen naar duidelijke architectuurkeuzes, principes en technische ontwerpen.
 * Inrichten van dataplatformen, data lakes, warehouses, lakehouses en integratiepatronen.
 * Adviseren over datamodellering, data governance, security, metadata, lineage en datakwaliteit.
 * Samenwerken met data engineers, BI-specialisten, data scientists, product owners en business stakeholders.
 * Begeleiden van teams bij technische keuzes, standaarden en best practices.
 * Zorgen dat data-oplossingen robuust, onderhoudbaar en geschikt zijn voor productiegebruik.

Je hebt bij voorkeur meer dan 5 jaar ervaring binnen data engineering, BI, analytics of dataplatformen en bent doorgegroeid naar een architectuurrol. Je weet hoe moderne data-oplossingen technisch in elkaar zitten, maar kunt ook goed uitleggen waarom bepaalde keuzes logisch zijn voor de organisatie.
