The board-level outcome is double-digit cloud cost reduction with credible attribution, alongside the platform principle that 'no production change happens outside the pipeline'.\nKey Responsibilities:\nAdopt Terraform as the infrastructure standard for 100% of new and existing data-platform infrastructure; run weekly drift detection; design a reusable, versioned, documented module library.\nBuild the governed CI / CD spine - every code change validated against pipeline-standard compliance, approval, and auto Jira update; target sub-hour deployment lead time and 100% coverage of core repos.\nDesign and test rollback orchestration with sub-15-minute recovery; run quarterly game days.\nEnforce cost-allocation tagging policy (team, domain, environment, project) on every cloud resource; publish baseline cost report and per-model / per-use-case attribution; author the Cost Optimization Playbook.\nChair the Change Advisory Board - lineage gate, audit trail, centralized tracking; impact-assess every system / schema change before approval.\nPublish and maintain the platform reference architecture and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs); chair the Architecture Review Board.\nAdvise leadership on build vs buy across feature store, catalogue supplements, observability, and GenAI tooling.\nMentor tech leads across data, ML, AI, and service engineering on platform standards; influence without authority - your designs ship because they are pragmatic, not because they are mandated.\nRequirements\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.\n8+ years in data / cloud engineering, with 4+ years in architect or staff / principal-equivalent roles owning\nplatform-wide standards.\nDeep cloud experience on at least one major hyperscaler (Azure strongly preferred; AWS / GCP transferable for the right candidate).\nProduction experience with Databricks or equivalent lakehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery).\nTerraform at scale - module design, state management, drift handling, environment promotion.\nCI / CD for data systems - notebook deployments, pipeline configs, schema migrations, blue / green for data jobs.\nFinOps leadership - owned a cost-reduction target with measurable, attributable results.\nStrong on IAM, networking, encryption, secrets management in regulated cloud environments; can author crisp ADRs and chair an Architecture Review Board.\nPreferred Qualifications\nMulti-cloud production experience and / or platform-engineering background (internal developer platforms, golden paths).\nData Mesh / data-as-a-product implementation at scale; streaming architecture (Kafka / Event Hubs, Flink, Spark Streaming).\nRegulated-industry experience (retail PDPA, finance, healthcare); AI workload capacity planning (GPU, vector DB, LLM cost modelling).\nVendor certifications such as HashiCorp Terraform Associate / Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Databricks Solutions Architect.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3181,"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":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Retail & Shop Systems","Wholesale"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T23:17:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":45,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.751,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":107,"expected_fill_days":120,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cpaxtra-senior-data-architect-data-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cpaxtra-senior-data-architect-data-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T22:45:24Z","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":878,"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":678227},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678227"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcpaxtra-senior-data-architect-data-platform"},{"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%2Fcpaxtra-senior-data-architect-data-platform"},{"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%2Fcpaxtra-senior-data-architect-data-platform"},{"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/cpaxtra-senior-data-architect-data-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcpaxtra-senior-data-architect-data-platform"}]}
