Job Description
We are seeking a Hands-On Data Architect to design, build, and operate a high-scale, event-driven data platform supporting payment and channel operations. This role combines strong data architecture fundamentals, deep streaming expertise, and hands-on engineering in a regulated, high-throughput environment.
You will lead the evolution from legacy data ingestion patterns to a modern AWS-based lakehouse and streaming architecture, handling tens of millions of events per day, while applying domain-driven design (DDD) and data-as-a-product principles.
