To be successful, you will have:
1. Several years of experience in Data Architecture
2. Expert in data architecture, software architecture and data model design.
3. Expert "hands on" experience with cloud data platforms (Microsoft Fabric as a preference) and modern data warehousing.
4. Deep proficiency in data modelling (conceptual, logical, physical) across relational, dimensional, and NoSQL paradigms.
5. Skilled in data integration, ETL/ELT design, and API-driven architectures.
6. Experience with data governance, metadata management, and master data management
