What You'll Do

- Guide clients through complex data challenges, balancing strategy, governance and delivery realities to recommend the right solution, not just the most technical one.
- Provide architectural direction across the full stack: cloud data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks and similar), the cloud infrastructure that supports them (compute, storage, networking, security and cost) and the AI capabilities layered on top.
- Architect and advise on AI and GenAI solutions, from RAG and LLM-powered applications to ML pipelines, and help clients separate genuine value from hype while planning for governance, security and responsible use.
- Design cloud infrastructure architectures that are scalable, secure and cost-optimised, and translate infrastructure trade-offs into terms business stakeholders can act on.
- Mentor and elevate consultants and engineers, raising the bar on how the team connects technical work to business impact.

- Experience with data governance, compliance standards and enterprise data strategy, extending to AI governance and responsible use.
- Proven experience with data lakehouse architecture, including the storage and processing of semi-structured and unstructured file types.
