We aren’t just migrating legacy systems at PTSG; we are building the future. We’re looking for a Data Architect to lead the design and execution of a green field data ecosystem on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
This is a rare "blank canvas" opportunity. You will have the autonomy to select the right tools, define the governance, and build a scalable, resilient architecture that will serve as the backbone for our next generation of products.
This is a full time, permanent role, working 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday. You will be based from either our Altrincham office (WA15 8FH) or Castleford head office (WF10 5HW) on a hybrid basis (working from home with an office day approximately once a week).
What You’ll Do
As the primary architect for this initiative, you will bridge the gap between high-level business strategy and deep technical execution.
* Design from Zero: Lead the end-to-end architecture of a modern data platform, utilizing BigQuery, Dataflow, and Pub/Sub
* Set the Standard: Establish best practices for data modelling (Star, Snowflake, Vault), CI/CD for data pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
* Security & Governance: Implement robust IAM policies, data encryption, and lineage tracking from day one
* Collaborate: Partner with Product Managers to ensure the platform enables advanced ML/AI capabilities
Your Technical Toolkit
We value expertise over a long list of keywords, but here is what our ideal stack looks like:
Data Warehouse - BigQuery (BigLake, Omni)
Processing - Dataflow (Apache Beam), Dataproc (Spark)
Orchestration - Cloud Composer (Airflow) or Dagster
Governance - Dataplex, Data Catalog
Who You are
* A Visionary: You don't just follow blueprints; you write them. You understand the trade-offs between different architectural patterns.
* GCP Native: You have a clear understanding of the Google Cloud ecosystem
* Code-Fluent: You are comfortable in Python, Java, or Go, and you treat your infrastructure like software
* Communicator: You can explain the "why" behind a complex partitioning strategy to a stakeholder just as easily as you can debug a pipeline with an engineer.
No technical debt. No "we've always done it this way." Just pure engineering challenges and the chance to build a world‑class data foundation from the ground up.
* Company pension scheme
* Life Assurance (3 x salary)
* Discounts on everyday shopping, fashion, tech, holidays, meals out, gyms and more
* A supportive, friendly office culture, and plenty of chances to learn
