Build the data foundation that powers everything.
This isn’t a dashboard maintenance role. It’s an opportunity to design, build, and scale the modern data platforms that power analytics, automation, AI, and the decisions that shape the business.
As our Business Intelligence Architect, you will sit at the heart of the data ecosystem — engineering reliable, high-performance platforms while defining the architectural standards that ensure trust, scalability, and long-term value. You’ll balance hands-on technical execution with strategic architectural leadership, making this role ideal for someone who wants to stay close to the technology while shaping the future of analytics.
What You’ll Do
Shape the Enterprise Data Architecture
Define and evolve the BI and analytics architecture, establishing clear data domains, modeling standards, and scalable design patterns that bring consistency and trust to enterprise data.
Build High-Performance Data Platforms
Architect and lead the development of modern data platforms and pipelines (warehouse, lake, lakehouse) using contemporary ELT patterns — ensuring performance, security, governance, and operational excellence.
Enable Insight, AI, and Innovation
Create the data foundation that powers self-service analytics, advanced reporting, and AI/ML initiatives, partnering across architecture and engineering teams to deliver resilient, future-ready solutions.
