  • Stakeholder Engagement

  • Operate directly with executives and senior leadership , shaping architectural decisions tied to business outcomes.
  • Deliver boardroom-level demos and presentations that drive strategic alignment.
  • Build strong, trusted relationships across IT, business, and product teams.
  • Governance & Reliability

  • Partner with Data Ops and DevOps to ensure governance, observability, compliance, and reliability at enterprise scale.
  • Implement monitoring, alerting, and CI / CD practices for Dagster pipelines , ensuring production readiness.
  • Drive platform roadmaps and prioritize initiatives based on strategic enterprise value .
  • Innovation & Impact

  • Constantly scout emerging technologies, leading adoption where they create advantage.
  • Redefine best practices and patterns across enterprise architecture.
  • Push boundaries, ensuring the organization stays ahead of competitors in data platform innovation .
  • Core Requirements

  • 10+ years in data architecture, data engineering, or enterprise solutions , with 3+ years in leadership or consulting roles .
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python, Snowflake, and Dagster :
  • Advanced data modeling, performance tuning, and optimization in Snowflake.

  • Hands-on orchestration expertise in Dagster , including asset-based workflows, partitioned jobs, scheduling, and observability.
  • Proven ability to establish enterprise-wide Dagster frameworks and lead teams in their adoption.
  • Deep experience with Azure cloud services , containerization / orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Azure Container Apps), and modern CI / CD practices.
  • Proven history of architecting and scaling enterprise-grade data platforms in demanding environments.
  • Consulting pedigree : client-facing leadership, rapid promotion history, and success in navigating ambiguous, complex projects.
  • Exceptional communication and executive presence ; equally confident in deep technical design and in C-suite conversations .
  • A track record of thriving in high-growth, high-change environments where adaptability and decisiveness are paramount.
  • What We Offer

  • A top-of-market compensation philosophy , ensuring we attract and retain the best talent.
  • The opportunity to define enterprise architecture standards at scale in a rapidly growing, innovative company.
  • A fast-moving environment where impact is immediate and highly visible at the executive level.
