As technology continues to evolve, we believe the most successful organisations will be those that combine the best of both: human ingenuity AND intelligent technology.\nThat belief is embedded in everything we do. We call it the genius of the AND: deep expertise AND practical delivery, innovation AND responsibility, ambitious work AND sustainable careers.\nThrough our Guide, Build and Equip approach, we help organisations embrace change, deliver meaningful impact, and develop the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly agentic world.\nAbout you:\nWe are seeking an experienced Data Architect with deep expertise in Snowflake to define, design and govern our enterprise data architecture. The role will lead the development of scalable, secure, cost-effective and high-performing data solutions that enable business intelligence, advanced analytics, data science and AI-driven use cases.\nThe successful candidate will translate business requirements into robust data architecture, establish architectural standards and best practices, and guide engineering teams in building modern cloud data platforms. They will play a key role in shaping our data strategy, improving data quality and accessibility, and maximising the value of our Snowflake investment.\nWhat you’ll bring to the table:\nData Architecture & Strategy: Define and evolve data strategy, architecture principles, standards and target-state roadmaps, balancing scalability, resilience, security, cost and delivery speed.\nSnowflake Platform Architect: Design and govern scalable, secure and cost-effective Snowflake architectures, covering data ingestion, transformation, modelling, performance optimisation, workload management, data sharing and integration to support enterprise analytics and AI use cases.\n Cloud-Native & Distributed Systems: Deep expertise in microservices, domain-driven design (DDD), bounded contexts, data ownership, event-driven integration, eventual consistency and distributed transactions.\nEvent Streaming: Hands-on experience designing and operating Kafka, Kinesis or equivalent platforms, including partitioning, ordering, event contracts, schema evolution, idempotency, replay, delivery guarantees, fault tolerance, security and operational support.\nData Modelling & Storage: Strong data modelling skills and the ability to select appropriate data stores-including relational, NoSQL, graph, time-series, distributed SQL and lakehouse technologies-based on business and technical requirements. Experienced in designing and developing semantic data models using tools such as dbt, ensuring consistent business definitions, reusable data structures, and reliable data for reporting and analytics.\nEnd-to-End Data Flows: Architect operational and analytical data pipelines across APIs, streaming, CDC, batch and ETL/ELT, embedding data quality, lineage, metadata, security, testing and observability throughout.\nTechnical Leadership & Delivery: Work closely with engineering and product teams in fast-paced agile environments, making pragmatic trade-offs and establishing lightweight guardrails, automation and architecture decision records.\nRisk, Security & Resilience: Design secure, well-governed cloud data architectures that support sensitive data handling, operational resilience, traceable controls and regulatory obligations.\nAI-Assisted Engineering: Practical experimentation with AI-assisted architecture and engineering tools, understanding their benefits and limitations across research, modelling, coding, testing and documentation.\nDesirable Experience\nUK wealth management, financial services or fintech experience; candidates from other complex, regulated industries will also be considered.\nExperience working with DBT & Dagster\nLegacy modernisation experience involving Oracle, Sybase, ISAM storage and SFTP/file-based integration, including migration, coexistence, reconciliation, CDC and progressive decoupling.\nWhy join AND Digital?\nWe’re building a culture where talented people can do meaningful work, continue growing, AND enjoy the journey along the way.\nOur model is designed to build belonging and connection: we’re organised into regional ‘Clubs’ of no more than 80 people, so you (and our clients) get the benefits of that small company feel while also being connected to a larger whole.\nOur Practice Areas act as a ‘second home’ for our ANDis - a place where you can innovate and learn with like-minded experts who care deeply about their craft, support each other generously, and believe the best ideas come from collaboration, not hierarchy.\nOur culture is rooted in our values of Wonder, Share and Delight, and shows up through five traits that we celebrate and nurture in all our ANDis: we value curiosity, ambition and a growth-mindset.
