The GCF5 Senior Data Architect is the senior technical authority for data standards, semantics, and FAIR-aligned data architecture within the Enterprise Data Foundation (EDF) / Common Data Model (CDM) pillar. This role defines and evolves canonical data models, metadata standards, identifiers, and interoperability patterns that enable FAIR, reusable, and AI-ready data products across research and platform domains. The Data Architect ensures that FAIR principles are embedded by design across data lifecycles, while partnering with engineering teams to enable scalable and consistent implementation. This role does not primarily own pipeline delivery, but instead owns the architectural decisions that make pipelines reusable, intelligible, and durable over time. The role reports to the GCF7 leader and partners closely with peer GCF5 domain and platform leads across SCIP to ensure cohesive semantic and architectural evolution.
Job Responsibility:
Define, evolve, and socialize FAIR-aligned canonical data models, metadata schemas, identifiers, and naming conventions across domains
Own semantic interoperability strategies, including controlled vocabularies, reference data, and domain model alignment
Establish architectural patterns that ensure data products are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable by default
Define standards for versioning, provenance, lineage, and reuse contracts across the data lifecycle
Partner with data governance, stewardship, and scientific domain leads to ensure standards are usable, adopted, and evolve pragmatically
Lead architectural review and decision forums for schema, model, and standards changes
