We’re working with a large international financial services organisation that is continuing to invest heavily in its data, cloud and AI capabilities.

They’re looking for a Data Architect to help shape and evolve modern enterprise data platforms across a complex global environment.

The initial focus will be on a Snowflake-based data estate, so strong Snowflake experience is particularly relevant. The wider organisation also works with technologies including Databricks, so there is scope to move across different platforms and entities over time.

The role

You’ll work across modern data architecture, cloud platforms, governance and data products.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Designing and evolving enterprise-scale Snowflake architectures
- Defining architecture standards, technical patterns and reference designs
- Designing end-to-end data flows across ingestion, transformation, analytics and downstream consumption
- Supporting scalable cloud data platform design, primarily within Azure
- Defining standards around data products, data contracts, lineage, quality and lifecycle management
- Working with engineering teams on data modelling, integration and platform design
- Supporting data governance, security and compliance requirements
- Reviewing technical designs and providing architectural guidance
- Working closely with Data Engineers, Architects and senior stakeholders across the wider organisation
- Contributing to future platform initiatives that may include Databricks, AI and GenAI

What we’re looking for

Ideally, you’ll bring:





- 5+ years of experience across Data Architecture, Data Engineering or Enterprise Architecture
- Strong hands-on knowledge of Snowflake but other enterprise systems like Databricks is ok
- Experience designing modern cloud data platforms
- Good knowledge of Microsoft Azure
- Strong understanding of data modelling, integration and platform architecture
- Experience with data governance, lineage and data quality
- Exposure to Data Products and modern data architecture principles
- Experience defining architecture standards, patterns or technical blueprints
- Strong stakeholder management skills within a complex enterprise environment

Experience within financial services or another regulated industry would also be beneficial, but isn’t required.

What’s on offer

Salary up to €65,000, depending on experience.

You’ll also receive:

- Annual performance bonus
- Strong pension and healthcare benefits
- Hybrid and flexible working
- Flexible working-from-abroad options
- Employee share and discount schemes
- Enhanced family benefits
- Training and professional development
- International career opportunities
- Exposure to multiple modern data platforms across a large integral organisation

Why consider it?

This is a good opportunity for someone who wants more than a narrow Snowflake delivery role.

You’ll initially work within a Snowflake-focused environment, but the wider organisation operates across multiple data platforms and business entities, creating the opportunity to broaden your architecture experience over time.

It could suit an established Data Architect or a strong Senior / Lead Data Engineer who already owns architecture decisions and wants to move further into a dedicated architecture role.
