We are seeking a hands-on Principal Data Architect to own the target architecture for a large-scale data platform modernization at a major US mortgage lender - migrating Finance reporting off a legacy on-premises source system onto a governed cloud data platform (Azure, Microsoft Fabric, and Snowflake), with CDC-based replication and a certified BI semantic layer. This is deliberately a hands-on role: you build alongside the development team through design and build, not a review-from-a-distance seat.\nThis position calls for a hybrid architect: someone who can design and defend complex technical decisions in front of the client's data and cloud teams at a strategic level, while also working hands-on with the development team to validate and build the solution. A strong grounding in software and data development is essential - profiles limited to analytics work alone will not have the depth this role requires.\nResponsibilities\nOwn the end-to-end target architecture spanning CDC replication, lakehouse landing (Fabric/OneLake), and a layered cloud data warehouse (raw/staging → conformed → curated) on Snowflake.\n\nAuthor and maintain architecture decision records covering transformation mechanism, CDC/load strategy, semantic-model storage mode, warehouse isolation, and cross-platform (lakehouse-to-warehouse) interoperability.\n\nDesign the curated data layer and dimensional model, including recomputing source-system runtime-calculated values that don't exist in raw replicated data, and conforming key-value dimension structures into standard reporting attributes.\n\nDesign the strategy for a single certified BI semantic model consumed by all downstream reporting tools, with metric definitions versioned in one governed place.\n\nWork hands-on inside the codebase alongside the development team through the design-and-build core.\n\nLead technical discovery with client architecture, security, and platform teams; resolve open interoperability and network/identity design questions.\n\nOwn quality gates for architecture decisions - design validation, baseline lock, cutover readiness - and produce the evidence client stakeholders need to sign off.\n\nMentor the development team on transformation patterns, incremental materialization, and reconciliation/data-quality design.\n\nRequirements for this challenge\nSolid experience in data architecture, including hands-on delivery (not review-only) on enterprise data platform modernization programs.\n\nProven experience architecting cloud data platforms on Snowflake, including layered raw/staging/curated models and incremental transformation patterns (e.g., dynamic or materialized tables).\n\nExperience with Microsoft Fabric/OneLake, or a comparable lakehouse platform, including cross-platform interoperability between a lakehouse and a cloud data warehouse.\n\nExperience architecting change-data-capture (CDC) based replication pipelines (e.g., Qlik Replicate, Fivetran, Debezium, or similar) from a relational source into a cloud platform.\n\nExperience designing governed, certified BI semantic layers (Power BI or equivalent) consumed by multiple reporting tools.\n\nStrong command of data governance fundamentals: classification, masking, row-level access, lineage.\n\nFluent English (C1) - direct engagement with client architecture, security, and executive stakeholders.\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or another ERP as a source system for financial/GL reporting.\n\nExperience in mortgage, lending, or broader financial-services data platforms.\n\nFamiliarity with AI-assisted development toolchains inside a governed software development lifecycle (SDLC), where AI output is always a draft requiring human sign-off on production logic.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3830,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Brazil","iso":"BR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Outsourcing & Dedicated Teams","Custom Software Development","AI Consulting & Integration","Data Engineering & Migration Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-28T16:00:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":40,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.732,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":18,"expected_fill_days":15,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cit-principal-data-architect-brazil","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cit-principal-data-architect-brazil.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T20:02:24Z","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":3585,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"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":957},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=957"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcit-principal-data-architect-brazil"},{"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%2Fcit-principal-data-architect-brazil"},{"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%2Fcit-principal-data-architect-brazil"},{"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/cit-principal-data-architect-brazil\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcit-principal-data-architect-brazil"}]}
