You will help design and implement modern enterprise data platforms, integration frameworks, governed data products, semantic layers, knowledge graphs, GraphRAG solutions, and AI-ready data foundations.
You will work closely with clients, enterprise architects, AI engineers, product teams, and delivery leaders while helping shape technical standards, delivery methodologies, reusable assets, and engineering culture.
Key Responsibilities
Design end-to-end enterprise data architectures.
Define current, transition, and target-state architectures.




Design modern data platforms, including warehouses, lakes, lakehouses, mesh, and fabric architectures.
Build scalable ingestion, integration, transformation, orchestration, and activation pipelines.
Define ETL/ELT/API/CDC/streaming integration patterns.
Design governed data products.
Develop conceptual, logical, physical, canonical, and semantic data models.
Build semantic layers, ontologies, knowledge graphs, GraphRAG solutions, and vector stores.
Establish metadata, lineage, governance, observability, security, and compliance.
Support analytics, ML, GenAI, and intelligent-agent use cases.
Create reference architectures and engineering standards.
Perform architecture reviews and optimization.
Partner directly with clients and stakeholders.
Mentor engineers and contribute hands-on to delivery.
