What you will do:
- Design scalable conceptual, logical, and physical data models for ad delivery, audience segmentation, campaign reporting, inventory, and billing.
- Map data relationships, dependencies, and flows across existing systems and ensure critical dependencies are preserved in the future-state architecture.
- Conduct exploratory data analysis across raw and existing datasets to develop a comprehensive understanding of the current-state data landscape.
- Profile existing data sources, inventory and characterize data assets, assess data quality, and identify gaps, inconsistencies, duplication, and integration risks.
- Define data ingestion, transformation, and orchestration patterns across batch and real-time data streams.
- Design data architectures that support high-volume events such as ad impressions, click activity, audience signals, inventory changes, and campaign transactions.
- Architect cloud-native data solutions using AWS services and technologies such as relational databases, graph databases, retrieval-augmented generation, and vector databases.
- Define integration patterns between legacy systems and a modern microservices-based platform.
- Ensure data interfaces, schemas, contracts, relationships, and system dependencies are clearly defined and documented.
- Establish data governance standards across lineage, cataloging, data quality, access controls, privacy, security, and lifecycle management.
- Collaborate closely with cloud services, engineering, architecture, product, and business teams across multiple workstreams.
- Maintain data architecture artifacts including entity relationship diagrams, data flow diagrams, schema definitions, data dictionaries, and architecture decision records.
Required Skills:
- 8+ years of experience in data architecture, enterprise data platforms, data engineering, or a related field.
- Demonstrated experience designing and governing complex enterprise data architectures.
- Experience with graph OR vector databases, semantic retrieval, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG,) or agentic AI use cases.

- Experience designing data models for real-time inventory, order management, logistics, or supply chain systems.
- Strong experience conducting exploratory data analysis and profiling complex enterprise data sources.
- Experience designing batch, streaming, event-driven, and real-time data architectures.
- Strong experience architecting cloud-native data solutions using AWS services.
- Experience with relational databases and modern cloud data platforms.
- Strong understanding of APIs, microservices, data contracts, integration architecture, and interoperability across legacy and modern systems.
- Strong knowledge of metadata, lineage, cataloging, governance, data quality, security, and access controls.
- Ability to assess a complex current-state environment and translate findings into a practical future-state architecture and implementation roadmap.
- Strong communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills.
