Data Architect

Data Architect/Engineer

Fulltime

Bengaluru, kA

Role Overview

The Senior Data Solution Lead is the point of contact for customers across the full data project lifecycle. This role sits at

the intersection of business understanding, data expertise, and delivery discipline owing to discovery, data modeling,

profiling, issue recommendation, and ensuring the Data Architect receives clean, sign-off inputs before any building

begins.

What Makes This Role Different

SQL-driven data profiling: Uncovers source system data issues independently, before they become migration blame

Recommendation-driven: Never surfaces a problem without structured options and a preferred path forward

Incremental delivery mindset: Breaks complex scope into sprint-sized, validated data releases

End-to-end ownership: Bridges business and technical so nothing falls through the gap
