Data Architect

We are supporting a major global financial-services organisation with a large-scale modernisation programme across a business-critical payments and accounts-receivable environment.

We are looking for an experienced Data Architect who can take ownership of target-state data architecture, working at the intersection of business, solution architecture and engineering. This is not primarily a data migration or ETL position: the successful consultant will be comfortable designing architecture from the ground up and defending key architectural decisions through governance and implementation.

You will define domain, conceptual, logical and physical data models; establish data flows, ownership and integration patterns; and help move a legacy, batch-oriented estate towards more real-time, distributed and cloud-oriented architecture.

Key experience: strong enterprise data architecture and modelling; Domain-Driven Design and CQRS; relational technologies such as Oracle/PostgreSQL; distributed/NoSQL technologies such as Cassandra or YugabyteDB; distributed data design, partitioning, replication, resilience and scalability; architecture governance; and strong stakeholder management.

Previous experience in financial services, banking, payments, capital markets or similarly complex transactional environments is highly desirable.

Contract: £430/day

Location: Burgess Hill – 3 days per week onsite

Experience: circa 5–7+ years relevant experience
