This is a senior, high-autonomy role for someone who has architected and scaled modern data platforms before, who still codes and reviews architecture hands-on rather than only diagramming it, and who is comfortable using AI-assisted development tools to move faster without cutting corners on quality or governance.\n\nWhat You'll Do :\n\nArchitecture & Platform Design :\n\n- Design and own the end-to-end data architecture across AWS (S3, IAM, and core data services) and Snowflake - from raw/bronze through conformed/silver to curated/gold zones - partnering with our CloudOps/DevOps team on networking, provisioning, and infrastructure operations.\n\n- Define the standards and patterns for data integration, pipeline orchestration (Airflow/MWAA), and data warehousing that the wider engineering team builds against.\n\n- Evaluate and select tools, patterns, and vendors as the platform scales, balancing cost, performance, and maintainability.\n\nData Modelling & Warehousing :\n\n- Own conceptual, logical, and physical data modelling across core business domains - using Data Vault for the historised, audit-ready layer and dimensional (star schema) models for consumption.\n\n- Define conformed dimensions, data contracts, and reusable data products consumed by BI, analytics, data science, and AI teams.\n\nData Integration & Pipelines :\n\n- Architect reliable batch and CDC-based data integration pipelines from core operational systems into the lake and warehouse.\n\n- Partner with data engineers on pipeline reliability, automated testing, schema-drift handling, and SLA design.\n\nBI & Semantic Layer :\n\n- Design the semantic layer and certified metric definitions that power Power BI and self-serve analytics - one trusted definition per business metric, everywhere it's used.\n\n- Guide BI developers and analytics engineers on performant, well-governed dataset design.\n\nAI Enablement :\n\n- Architect the data foundations - governed marts, semantic layer, retrieval/vector infrastructure - that ground the organisation's AI products, including a business-facing GenAI chatbot.\n\n- Partner with data science and AI engineering on feature pipelines, model-serving data needs, and MLOps/LLMOps integration points.\n\nAI-Augmented Engineering :\n\n- Actively use AI development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) to accelerate design, coding, testing, documentation, and repetitive engineering work.\n\n- Champion practical AI-assisted workflows across the data organisation - code generation, pipeline scaffolding, test generation, documentation, code review - while holding the line on engineering rigor.\n\nLeadership & Governance :\n\n- Set technical direction and review architecture and design decisions across data engineering, analytics engineering, and BI.\n\n- Partner with the Director of Data on governance and data-quality standards and the technical roadmap; mentor senior engineers.\n\nWhat You'll Need :\n\n- 12 - 17 years of overall data engineering/architecture experience, including demonstrable experience architecting production systems - not only diagramming them. You're expected to own AWS architecture and design decisions, not perform hands-on networking work yourself - our CloudOps/DevOps team implements and operates that layer.\n\n- Expert-level experience with AWS (S3, IAM, and core data services) and Snowflake (architecture, performance tuning, cost optimisation, RBAC).\n\n- Hands-on experience across the full data lifecycle : data integration/CDC, data pipeline engineering, data warehousing, dimensional modelling (Kimball) and/or Data Vault, semantic/BI layer design, and exposure to AI/ML-driven data products.\n\n- Expert-level SQL, Python, and PySpark - able to write, review, and debug production code, not just specify it.\n\n- Practical, hands-on experience using AI development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT/LLM-based tooling) for coding, automation, documentation, and other development workflows, with a clear point of view on where they help and where they don't.\n\n- Experience with workflow orchestration (Airflow or equivalent) and modern transformation tooling (dbt or equivalent).\n\n- Strong communication skills - able to work directly with business stakeholders and translate ambiguous requirements into resilient architecture.\n\nNice to Have :\n\n- Experience in financial services, lending, collections, or debt-settlement/consumer-finance environments, including awareness of relevant regulatory considerations (e.g., FDCPA, TCPA, CFPB-adjacent data handling).\n\n- Experience standing up or scaling a data organisation from a small team, including defining architecture standards from scratch.\n\n- Experience with GenAI/RAG architectures, vector search, and LLMOps tooling.\n\n- Relevant certifications (AWS, SnowPro).\nSkills\nData Architect, Data Engineering, AWS, Snowflake DB, Data Modeling, Data Warehousing, Data Pipeline, Power BI, SQL, Python, PySpark","description_format":"text","description_chars":5202,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-30T10:00:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":28,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":0.85,"p_active":0.441,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":23,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:23","agency","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":73199,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/aspire-talent-innovations-data-architect","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/aspire-talent-innovations-data-architect.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T06:39:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9695,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3800827},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3800827"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Faspire-talent-innovations-data-architect"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Faspire-talent-innovations-data-architect"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Faspire-talent-innovations-data-architect"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/aspire-talent-innovations-data-architect\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Faspire-talent-innovations-data-architect"}]}
