About the role

Principal Architect - Data Engineering, AI & GCP (G4)
We're looking for a Principal Architect who is a recognized SME in Google Cloud Platform, with deep roots in Data Engineering and a sharp eye for AI/ML-driven solutions.
Define short- and long-term technology vision for clients, evaluating their current landscape and charting a path forward.

This is not a purely advisory role you'll own architecture, drive delivery, and be the technical anchor clients trust when the stakes are high.
Build foundational architectures: microservices, event-driven systems, event streaming, and online ML systems.
Drive program governance across workstreams, keeping cross-functional and cross-geography teams aligned.
Build lasting relationships with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
Collaborate with data engineers and data scientists to co-develop architecture that serves both analytical and operational needs.

12+ years in Data Engineering and Cloud-native technologies, with deep GCP expertise.
Proven delivery of end-to-end Data Engineering, Data Warehousing, or Analytics platforms at scale.
Experience with Agile, CI/CD, DevOps, and MLOps pipelines.
Track record leading large, complex, client-facing delivery programs.
Proficiency in PLX or similar structured querying languages (e.g. SQL, Dremel/Spanner)
All applications must be made through posted job openings

You will be eligible for benefits on the first day of Employment with the Company.
