This role sits within the Data & AI team and is grounded in data architecture and engineering, platform and application design, and data modeling for analytics and AI, while also extending into broader solution architecture. You’ll guide the team in shaping solutions end-to-end, from data pipelines and semantic models to integration patterns. What you'll be doing: Lead & Grow the Team: Lead and mentor a team of data and AI solution architects, fostering a hands-on, build-oriented culture Support architects in developing both design depth and practical implementation skills Create space for experimentation, prototyping, and learning using modern tools Architect End-to-End Solutions: Identify, document, and promote reusable architectural patterns, standards, and best practices across data and solution design Guide the design of scalable, secure solutions in the data and AI space Work across the lifecycle, from high-level architecture to detailed design and implementation support Ensure solutions balance reusability, performance, and real-world delivery constraints Stay Close to the Build: Partner with engineering teams during implementation Contribute to prototyping, design validation, and code reviews Bring practical insight into what can go wrong in production and how to mitigate it early Shape Data & Platform Architecture: Lead the design of data models and data pipelines, ensuring quality, scalability, and usability Define patterns for data consumption, integration, and interoperability Collaborate with governance, security, and platform teams to ensure solutions meet enterprise standards Collaborate Across the Organization: Work closely with product, engineering, and business teams to translate needs into practical solutions Influence decisions through clear communication and pragmatic trade-offs Drive alignment across architecture, engineering, and delivery teams Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences, translating complex concepts into clear, actionable insights Explore Emerging Capabilities: Bring curiosity and interest in AI-enabled solutions and development approaches Encourage experimentation with tools that accelerate design and delivery (e.g., coding assistants, automation, agentic patterns) What you bring: We recognize strong candidates come from different paths.
