Lead Data Architect – Informatica/Reltio & MCP Framework

Location: India (Remote / Hybrid)

Type: Full-time / Contract-to-Hire

Start Date: Immediate / ASAP

About the Role

We are seeking a Lead Data Architect to design and deliver enterprise-grade Master Data Management and AI-readiness frameworks that bring together Reltio, Informatica, and MCP (Model Context Protocol)–based integration patterns.

This role is ideal for someone who understands how governed master data, metadata, and contextual AI come together to create intelligent, connected enterprise systems. You'll lead the architecture of modern MDM programs that unify business data, enrich metadata context, and enable real-time, agentic intelligence across applications and cloud ecosystems.

Key Responsibilities

● Architecture & Framework Design

○ Lead the design of multi-domain MDM and metadata architectures using Reltio and Informatica as the foundation.

○ Define how MCP-based data contracts and semantic layers connect master data, metadata, and AI agents.

○ Architect data governance and lineage frameworks that make enterprise data AI-ready and context-aware.

○ Establish blueprints for data mastering, identity resolution, survivorship, and context propagation across systems.

● Delivery & Program Leadership

○ Drive the delivery of complex MDM modernization projects with distributed teams.

○ Translate business challenges into scalable, governed data architectures.

○ Oversee implementation quality, design reviews, and metadata alignment across programs.

○ Mentor data engineers and consultants on modern data architecture principles and MDM best practices.

● Strategic Enablement

○ Partner with product owners, data governance, and AI teams to ensure architecture aligns with business data strategy.

○ Evangelize the use of Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect structured and unstructured data through metadata-driven APIs.

○ Contribute to internal frameworks and accelerators that unify governance, observability, and AI orchestration layers.

Required Experience

● 10+ years in Data Architecture, including 4+ years in MDM design and delivery.

● Deep understanding of data modeling, data governance, and metadata-driven architectures.

● Strong experience in Informatica IDMC and Reltio MDM solution design (or equivalent enterprise MDM platforms).

● Proven track record in delivering complex, multi-domain data programs with business-critical outcomes.

● Familiarity with contextual integration patterns or agentic AI architectures is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

● Exposure to data fabric, MCP-based integration, or AI-readiness frameworks.

● Demonstrated ability to lead architecture workshops, solution reviews, and enterprise governance sessions.

Soft Skills

● Strong analytical, problem-solving, and design thinking skills.

● Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to interface with senior stakeholders.

● Comfortable working across business, IT, and AI strategy teams in a matrixed organization.

● Experience mentoring and scaling architecture and data engineering teams

Why Join Us

You'll help shape the next generation of AI-ready data architecture — where MDM, metadata, and contextual intelligence converge.

This is a chance to work on global programs that integrate Informatica, Reltio, and MCP-driven orchestration frameworks, driving measurable business value and laying the foundation for governed, autonomous data ecosystems.

Scenario

A business stakeholder insists that all master-data updates must propagate in real time to every consuming application and data warehouse, claiming batch or async patterns are "legacy."How do you design for high freshness without over-coupling systems

● What architectural principles guide your decision (e.g., latency vs. consistency)?

● When is eventual consistency acceptable — and how do you communicate that trade-off?

● How do you monitor and reconcile data drift across asynchronous boundaries?
