It's versatile, for some it is a place to relax, for others it is the ultimate challenge. A place to enjoy and where big and small moments come together. It's a place to be discovered or recognized. But the outdoors can also be treacherous and unpredictable. Weather and terrain can surprise you. Our mission is to enable all people to spend inspiring and epic moments outside.\nYonderland is a European group of premium brands and retail concepts focused on outdoors. Including A.S. Adventure, Juttu, Bever, Cotswold, Snow+Rock, Runnersneed and Ayacucho. Yonderland runs over 190 shops in Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Great-Britain and The Netherlands and resides in Belgium. https://www.yonderland.com/\nABOUT THE JOB OPENING\nWE ARE LOOKING FOR A DATA SOLUTIONS ARCHITECT TO JOIN OUR TEAM\nYonderland runs its data platform on AWS, with Snowflake, dbt and Airflow above it and a large operational database estate underneath. As our Data Solutions Architect, you will lead the design of all of it, acting as the technical reference for the data function on architecture, cloud and automation. Your work will run from the design of new implementations and integration patterns between systems, through how data is processed at volume, to how the platforms themselves are built, deployed and automated - with security, compliance and data quality built into every design. This is a hands-on role: architecture ownership paired with real engineering work, and current coding experience is required. You report to the Head of Data & AI.\nYOU WILL\nOwn the architecture of the data platform, its integrations and its processing layers, from ingestion through to consumption.\nDefine how data solutions are designed, built, deployed and automated, and apply that standard across the data function.\nArchitect for high-volume, parallel and real-time processing for the workloads that need it.\nDecide how data moves between operational and analytical systems, using event-based and contract-driven integration patterns.\nOwn cloud architecture and infrastructure-as-code practice for everything the data function runs.\nAnalyze requirements, test the assumptions behind them, and produce the end-to-end design before development starts.\nAct as design authority, making the key architectural calls, documenting them, and answering the technical questions engineering teams bring.\nProduce artefacts teams can build from - solution designs, trade-off analyses, data-flow diagrams, integration blueprints and risk assessments.\nDesign distributed processing - partitioning, state handling and performance - for workloads that outgrow single-node and pure-SQL approaches.\nDefine the integration patterns - APIs, events, streaming and change data capture - and the contracts that keep them stable.\nOwn cloud architecture on AWS, deciding how data services are structured, scaled, operated and costed.\nAutomate the platform using Terraform for infrastructure and CI/CD for delivery, with defined deployment and rollback procedures.\nDesign specialized AI and integration use cases, including AI-assisted workflows and real-time decisioning, and judge where they apply.\nYOU HAVE\nSenior experience architecting data platforms that run at high volume in production.\nA track record of defining standards that other engineers went on to adopt.\nA hands-on engineering background, with coding experience that is current.\nDeep, hands-on architecture and operating experience on AWS (equivalent depth on Azure or GCP considered).\nProduction-level Python.\nExperience with a high-volume parallel processing engine such as Spark or Flink, including partitioning, state handling and performance tuning.\nTerraform experience is required, since infrastructure across the data function is managed as code.\nIntegration architecture experience - APIs, events, streaming, contracts and change data capture between operational and analytical systems.\nExperience with a modern data platform stack: a cloud warehouse such as Snowflake, a transformation tool such as dbt, an orchestrator such as Airflow, plus strong SQL and data modelling.\nAbility to build security, governance and data quality requirements into architecture at design time.\nBONUS QUALIFICATIONS\nAWS, Azure or GCP solutions architecture certification.\nExperience designing AI-assisted or real-time decisioning workflows.\nExperience in retail, e-commerce or supply chain data platforms.\nFamiliarity with streaming platforms such as Kafka or Kinesis.\nTrack record mentoring engineers or setting technical standards for a wider team.\nWE HAVE\nAn international environment with headquarters in Antwerp and offices in the Netherlands, UK and Portugal.\nOur Porto office located at Lionesa Business Hub.\nFull-time job + permanent contract.\nHealth insurance.\n26 days of vacation.\nFlexible work schedule and hybrid work model - 2 days per week at our office and 3 days working remotely.\nProfessional development opportunities.\nTrainings.\nCollaborative and inclusive work environment.\nTeam events like summer parties, Christmas events and much more!\nIf this fits your career expectations apply now to  and speak to Susana - our HR Manager.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5260,"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":["Flexible schedule","Health insurance","Hybrid work","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Outdoor & Camping Gear","FMCG & Consumer Brand Groups"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T00:59:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":87,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.87,"p_room":1,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["seen:9","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/yonderland-data-solutions-architect-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/yonderland-data-solutions-architect-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T21:22:19Z","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":29495,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4374581},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4374581"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fyonderland-data-solutions-architect-2"},{"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%2Fyonderland-data-solutions-architect-2"},{"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%2Fyonderland-data-solutions-architect-2"},{"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/yonderland-data-solutions-architect-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fyonderland-data-solutions-architect-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2888127}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"yonderland.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2888127},"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.
