Data Architect | Snowflake & AI | Building a Modern Data Platform
- Hybrid (2 days a month) Sofia
This is a globally operating data and information business supporting complex, fast-moving markets. Its data and insights are trusted by customers worldwide to inform trading, risk management, and decision-making. The company is now investing heavily in modern data platforms and AI to accelerate innovation and customer impact.
You’re a hands-on Data Architect who wants more than just pipeline diagrams and governance decks. You want ownership, influence, and the chance to shape a modern data platform from the ground up, with AI embedded into how data is designed, governed, and consumed.
This is an opportunity to join a newly formed, highly visible Data function within a global, data-driven organisation that operates in complex, fast-moving markets. The mission is clear: bring Data, BI, Analytics, and AI together into a single high-performing capability.
The Role
In this role, you will sit at the heart of the data platform, shaping architecture decisions that impact the entire business.
You will:
- Define and own the end-to-end data architecture strategy across a Snowflake-based modern data platform
- Translate business requirements into clear technical designs, models, and implementation standards
- Work closely with Data Engineers to guide how solutions are built — not just what is built
- Act as the architectural authority across decentralised teams, reviewing and challenging design patterns
- Design scalable, performant data models that support analytics, BI, and AI use cases
- Embed data quality, governance, and “data-as-code” principles throughout the platform
- Actively use AI tools in your day-to-day work and identify where AI can enhance data architecture, quality, and automation
This is a hands-on role: you will be designing, influencing, and getting into the details alongside engineering teams.
What They’re Looking For
You’ll need a strong technical core and real-world experience operating at the platform level:
- Data architecture experience in a production environment (Data Architect, Solutions Architect, or similar)
- Snowflake architecture experience
- Data modelling expertise (dimensional modelling, Data Vault, 3NF)
- Cloud platform experience (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
- SQL proficiency and strong database design fundamentals
- Python experience for data architecture, automation, or tooling
- Experience beyond pipelines, data infrastructure, modelling standards, and platform design
- Hands-on mindset (this is not a consultancy or advisory-only role)
What You’ll Work With
- Snowflake Data Cloud
- DBT
- Dagster
- Modern ELT tooling (Fivetran, Airbyte, or similar)
- Python
- Cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
- Git, CI/CD pipelines, data-as-code practices
- AI tooling (ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or similar)
Nice to Haves
- SnowPro Core certification
- BI tooling experience (Power BI, Tableau, Qlik)
- Data catalogue or metadata tooling
- Data governance and privacy knowledge (e.g. GDPR)
- Kubernetes or containerisation exposure
- Experience in data-intensive or regulated industries
Why Join / Projects
This is a chance to join at the beginning of a data transformation, not the tail end.
You’ll be part of:
- Newly formed innovation squads focused on real customer impact
- Cutting-edge use of AI across data quality, metadata, and analytics
- A platform being designed for scale, performance, and future AI capability
- A highly collaborative environment where architecture decisions genuinely matter
You’ll report directly into the Data Platform & AI leadership and have real influence over how the data ecosystem evolves.
