Solution Architect – Data Platform

We are in search of a proactive Solution Architect to drive the development and implementation of data solutions that support our gaming ecosystem. You'll combine technical leadership with practical execution—working closely with engineers to build pipelines, model data, and deploy tools across the analytics platform. This role sits at the heart of our data organization, guiding the architecture while staying directly involved in Snowflake, Airflow, dbt, and Python-based workflows.

What you'll do:

• Architect scalable, secure, and cost-efficient batch data platforms
• Spearhead the creation and establishment of data pipelines with Airflow and dbt
• Develop and review Snowflake-based models, storage layers, and warehouse optimization strategies
• Write and review production-level SQL and Python code for data workflows and utilities
• Ensure data quality and observability practices are integrated from the ground up
• Collaborate with multi-functional teams to define solutions that meet analytics and reporting needs
• Guide and mentor data engineers, conduct architectural reviews, and improve engineering standards
• Evaluate and integrate emerging tools, frameworks, and cloud-native solutions

Your Tech Toolbox:

• Snowflake (must-have)
• Airflow, dbt, Python, SQL
• Power BI (used at the semantic and source layer level)
• Git, Jira, CI/CD (e.g., GitLab/GitHub Actions)
• Cloud platforms: AWS or GCP

What we're looking for:

• 6+ years in data engineering or architecture roles, with recent hands-on development experience
• Expertise in building and maintaining data platforms, not just crafting them
• Deep understanding of data modeling, pipeline orchestration, and cloud-native storage
• Proficiency in SQL and comfort with Python for scripting and automation
• Proven track record to align data architecture with real business needs (product, analytics, operations)
• Excellent communication and collaborator coordination skills
• Bonus: Experience in gaming, mobile apps, or entertainment analytics
