Data Platform Architect

Role Overview We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to lead the design and development of a next-generation data platform that powers real-time and batch applications at scale. This platform supports business logic, personalisation, user cohorting, CRM, product analytics, and Generative AI workloads.

You’ll work cross-functionally with analysts, engineers, and product teams to build high-throughput data pipelines, ensure reliability and cost-efficiency, and empower data-driven decisions across all touchpoints — web, mobile (Android / iOS) and server.

Key Responsibilities

Data Platform & Pipeline Development

Build and scale real-time and batch data pipelines capable of supporting high-volume data ingestion and processing.

Power diverse applications across : business logic and personalization, user cohorting and CRM, product and business analytics, and Generative AI (data retrieval, prompt engineering, context feeding).

Analytics Enablement Across Platforms

Partner with product analysts to co-design analytics schemas that align across all client platforms.

Enable consistent event tracking and unified user behavior analysis.

Ensure availability of enriched and aggregated datasets that can be plugged directly into product and business workflows.

Tiered data retention and archival

Usage-based cost governance and alerting

Develop tooling, playbooks, and dashboards for observability, efficiency, and compliance.

Monitoring, Governance & Reliability

Define and enforce role-based access control (RBAC) and audit policies for secure data operations.

Maintain thorough documentation of data flows, architecture, and contracts.

Must-Have Qualifications

Experience building cloud-native data solutions on AWS (RDS, Redshift, Athena, Kinesis, Lambda, S3) and GCP (BigQuery, Dataflow, Datastream).

Proficiency in SQL, NoSQL, and data modeling for both OLTP and OLAP systems.

Strong backend engineering skills using Golang (preferred) or other typed languages.

Hands-on experience with event streaming platforms like Kafka, Kinesis, or RabbitMQ.

Deep understanding of data warehousing, pipeline orchestration, and cloud architecture.

Demonstrated ability to implement secure, auditable, and scalable data governance frameworks.

Good-to-Have Skills

Scripting expertise in Bash or Python for automation.
