Data Architect

We are seeking a Data Architect to join our team in Bengaluru, Luxor North Tower.

Job Summary: As a Data Architect, you will play a critical role in designing and implementing enterprise-scale data lake/lakehouse architectures on Azure or other cloud data platforms. You will oversee data ingestion end-to-end and the target canonical/conformed data model connecting engagement data to GSK Medical data.

Key Responsibilities:

• Set success metrics up front, prove value through proofs of value (POVs) before scaling, and track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as adoption, data quality, and user satisfaction.
• Lead change management, demos, and training to drive enterprise-wide adoption and data literacy.
• Oversee data ingestion end-to-end and the target canonical/conformed data model connecting engagement data to GSK Medical data – balancing technical debt against feature delivery.
• Establish governance by design, overseeing the data lake governance and framework – access models, schemas, classification, lineage, metadata, quality, and storage standards aligned to CODE Orange.
• Align platforms, engineering teams, and vendors around shared outcomes, connecting data across functions and managing dependencies through to completion.
• Use approved AI tools to accelerate discovery and backlog trade-offs – keeping AI in support of decisions, not replacing them.
• Ensure data assets are structured, scalable, and of high enough quality to power GenAI, predictive analytics, and agentic workflows.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, Mathematics, or a related discipline.
• 8+ years of experience in data architecture, data engineering, data product ownership, or related roles, including delivering measurable business outcomes.
• Experience designing enterprise-scale data lake/lakehouse architectures on Azure or other cloud data platforms, including owning the target architecture.
• Experience in conceptual, logical, and physical data modelling, including translating varied source data into canonical (standardized) data models.
• Experience with SQL, Databricks, and/or Snowflake, and understanding of both relational and non-relational data structures.
• Experience using data governance and semantic architecture approaches to enable enterprise-grade data governance and semantic layers.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Azure Databricks, Spark, and Delta Lake.
• Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Synapse, or Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS), and Microsoft Purview or equivalent data catalogue tools.
• Experience with canonical data models and API-based data integration.
• Experience with data mesh and data product operating models, knowledge graphs, and ontologies.
