The solution must preserve the authorization context required for downstream consumption, support customer-facing reporting, and establish a foundation for future data products.\nThe contractor will own the technical delivery of this initiative, working with internal teams and external technical partners from discovery and architecture through implementation, production readiness, documentation, and knowledge transfer.\nKey Outcomes\nDeliver a production-ready architecture that separates transactional and analytical workloads.\nDesign and implement ingestion and historical offload from Azure-based transactional databases into Microsoft Fabric.\nEstablish a layered or medallion architecture covering source-aligned, transformed, and consumption-ready data.\nCreate analytical and semantic models that support secure downstream reporting and customer-facing use cases.\nUnderstand the application’s roles, permissions, and visibility rules, and translate the required authorization context into appropriate analytical access patterns.\nDesign for historical preservation, change handling, retention, deletions, reconciliation, and future transactional data purging.\nImplement the engineering controls required for production operation, including testing, data quality, monitoring, recovery, security, and deployment.\nAssess the existing ingestion and analytical processes, retaining what works and improving or replacing what does not.\nMaintain clear technical documentation, architecture decisions, operational runbooks, and implementation knowledge throughout the engagement.\nTransfer knowledge to the internal Data & Analytics team so the platform can be operated and extended after the contract.\nRequired ExperienceSenior-level experience delivering data architecture and data-engineering solutions in production environments.\nProven experience transforming data from complex OLTP applications into analytical platforms, data warehouses, lakehouses, or OLAP solutions.\nStrong hands-on experience building data solutions in Azure, with practical experience or working knowledge of Microsoft Fabric.\nExperience designing layered or medallion data architectures, analytical models, semantic layers, and downstream consumption patterns.\nStrong understanding of historical data offload and lifecycle management, including incremental change, deletions, retention, archival, reconciliation, and purge considerations.\nExperience designing secure analytical solutions based on application roles, permissions, tenant boundaries, and access-control requirements.\nExperience with both single-tenant and multi-tenant data environments.\nAdvanced SQL and strong hands-on Python skills for building maintainable, testable, production-ready data pipelines and transformations.\nExperience with PySpark or comparable distributed data-processing frameworks.\nAbility to work across architecture and implementation, independently solve complex problems, and translate decisions into working solutions.\nExperience leading technical delivery across internal teams and external partners.\nPractical use of AI-assisted engineering tools for technical discovery, development, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation, with appropriate review and validation of outputs.\nStrong written and spoken English.\n Engagement ExpectationsThe contractor will act as the primary technical owner for the assigned project scope. Success requires hands-on delivery, proactive identification of technical risks, clear communication of decisions and trade-offs, and close collaboration with Data & Analytics, Engineering, Product, Architecture, Security, and external delivery partners.\nThe engagement is expected to produce a working, supportable solution, not only an architecture recommendation or proof of concept.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4090,"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":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Real Estate","Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-30T15:15:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/clarika-senior-data-architect-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/clarika-senior-data-architect-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T12:03:03Z","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":18133,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2521124},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2521124"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fclarika-senior-data-architect-engineer"},{"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%2Fclarika-senior-data-architect-engineer"},{"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%2Fclarika-senior-data-architect-engineer"},{"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/clarika-senior-data-architect-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fclarika-senior-data-architect-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3528703}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"clarikagroup.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3528703},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
