Data Architect

Quick Facts

• Role: Data Architect

Description

A Data Architect defines and evolves the organization’s data architecture vision, principles, and roadmap for data products and domain APIs. You lead end-to-end solution architecture across multiple delivery streams, set standards for governed and reusable data products, and establish API-first practices to ensure APIs are secure, scalable, resilient, and observable.

Responsibilities

• Define and evolve the architecture vision, principles, and roadmap for data products and domain APIs.

• Align business capabilities, data assets, APIs, and technology platforms across multiple delivery streams.

• Oversee end-to-end solution architecture and coordinate embedded software architects across delivery streams.

• Identify interfaces, data flows, and cross-domain dependencies; guide teams in evaluating solution alternatives.

• Establish patterns and standards for domain-owned data products that are discoverable, trustworthy, reusable, and governed.

• Clarify data ownership, product boundaries, quality expectations, metadata, lineage, and lifecycle responsibilities.

• Promote modern data architecture practices, including data product thinking and domain ownership.

• Define API-first architecture principles, design standards, governance, and lifecycle management practices.

• Guide domain boundaries, API contracts, versioning, security, and reusable integration patterns.

• Ensure APIs are secure, scalable, resilient, observable, and easy for consumers to use.

• Support event-driven and service-oriented integration approaches where they provide clear value.

• Define functional and non-functional requirements for availability, performance, security, scalability, resilience, and operability.

• Define subsystems and interfaces; allocate responsibilities and clarify interactions with the wider solution context.

• Build and maintain the architectural runway for sustainable delivery and future change.

Requirements

• Significant experience in Solution Architecture, Domain Architecture, Enterprise Architecture, or a comparable senior architecture role.

• A proven track record designing and delivering enterprise-scale data, API, and integration solutions.

• Experience leading architecture across multiple teams, products, or technology domains.

• Strong understanding of banking technology and business processes; Core Banking platform experience is highly desirable.

• Experience working in complex, regulated environments with demanding security, resilience, and data governance requirements.
