About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Data & Platform Architect to design and evolve the core platform services that power scalable digital solutions. This role focuses on building robust data foundations across structured, unstructured, document, and time-series systems while ensuring platform services remain secure, scalable, and resilient.

You will work closely with engineering, product, and infrastructure teams to drive platform architecture standards, data governance, and high-performance distributed systems.

What You'll Do

Architectural Leadership

• Define and evolve architecture patterns for data ingestion, processing, storage, and APIs
• Ensure consistency and scalability across time-series, document, relational, and unstructured data systems
• Establish governance frameworks and lifecycle standards for platform services and data pipelines
• Drive adoption of cloud-native architectures and API-first design principles

Technical Leadership

• Provide guidance on platform services including event streaming, messaging systems, data pipelines, storage, and APIs
• Define best practices for indexing, search, caching, and high-performance data access
• Collaborate on cross-platform concerns such as security, observability, reliability, and cost optimization
• Ensure interoperability between platform modules, applications, and external integrations

Collaboration & Mentorship

• Partner with product managers, architects, and engineering teams to align platform architecture with business goals
• Mentor engineers on data engineering, architecture standards, and platform best practices
• Support cross-product initiatives requiring shared data infrastructure and platform services

Required Skills & Expertise

• Strong experience designing data architectures across relational (SQL), NoSQL/document (MongoDB, CouchDB), time-series (Timescale, InfluxDB), and unstructured data systems
• Deep understanding of event-driven systems and messaging platforms (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Service Bus)
• Expertise in microservices architecture, REST/GraphQL APIs, and backend system design
• Experience with MEAN stack environments (Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Angular) is desirable
• Familiarity with DevOps practices, observability frameworks, and cloud-native environments
• Strong understanding of platform governance, security, and lifecycle management
• Excellent stakeholder communication and technical leadership skills

Experience Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering with focus on data platforms and distributed systems
• 5+ years in architecture or platform leadership roles
• Experience building enterprise-scale, multi-tenant, or SaaS platforms
• Experience with time-series, event-driven, or data-intensive industrial systems is a strong advantage
