Head of Data Engineering and Architecture

job Title : Head of Data Engineering & Architecture

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced data engineering leader who combines recent hands-on technical expertise with the ability to set direction and architectural standards. This role is central to our data transformation journey - building secure, production-ready data pipelines and products that enable advanced analytics and AI at scale.

You’ll be expected to dive into code, challenge best practices, and guide the team in building flexible yet well-governed data solutions. This is not a pure management role - it’s about leading by example in engineering, design, and delivery.

What You’ll Do

• Lead a global team of data engineers and architects in developing scalable, production-ready data pipelines and products.
• Design data products that are flexible but governed, enabling both AI and traditional analytics use cases.
• Define and enforce engineering best practices (version control, CI / CD, testing, deployment, documentation).
• Provide architectural oversight to ensure solutions are robust, secure, and future-proof.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams in a multinational environment to ensure data is usable, governed, and fit for purpose.
• Balance technical depth with strategic direction, switching easily between design discussions and code reviews.
