Data Architect

Hiring: Data Architect – Canonical Data Modeling

We are looking for a Data Architect who can own the correctness, stability, and evolution of a Canonical/Common Data Model across multiple source systems and clients.

This is NOT a traditional Data Integration Architect role. The focus is on designing a stable, source-agnostic data model and ensuring new systems and clients can be onboarded through configuration and mapping rules rather than hardcoded solutions.
