Data Lakehouse Architect

Responsibilities:

• You will be responsible for the end-to-end architecture of the lakehouse platform.
• This includes the design and implementation of data products, data marketplace, knowledge layer and enabling agentic workloads to run out of the lakehouse platform.
• You will also be responsible for quality assurance of the team’s delivery in conformance with the Bank-defined software delivery methodology and tools.
• You will partner with other technology functions to help deliver required technology solutions.
  
  Other responsibilities include:

• Provide technical vision and create roadmaps for the lakehouse platform.
• Create the target architecture for an application / set of applications with emphasis on platforms, reusability, scalability and security.
• Create frameworks, technical features which helps in faster operationalization of new patterns such as unstructured content extraction, lambda architecture deployment patterns, retrieval-augmented data patterns, agentic workloads etc.
• Effectively partner with business users to design data contracts, SLA, data quality rules for data products.
• Independently install, customize and integrate software packages and programs.
• Participate in selection of product/tools via RFP/POC.
• Create technical documents (functional/non-functional specification, design specification, training manual) for the solutions. Review design specifications created by development team.
