Job Description

The Principal Data Architect will lead the design, modernization, and long-term strategy of our enterprise data ecosystem. This role is both strategic and hands-on — ideal for someone who can architect large-scale solutions while actively contributing to modeling, integrations and implementation. You will shape a modern data foundation supporting commerce, operations, customer experience, analytics, personalization, and executive decision enablement across the organization.

Job Responsibility

  • Define and own the enterprise data architecture roadmap, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and alignment with business strategy
  • Design and implement sophisticated data models supporting commerce, customer lifecycle, finance, supply chain, inventory, and digital transformation initiatives
  • Build and optimize secure data pipelines integrating Shopify and multiple enterprise systems into a unified Snowflake and SQL Server environment
  • Lead standards for data governance, privacy, lineage, cataloging, quality, and master data management
  • Drive best practices for Power BI semantic models, architecture, and performance governance across business functions
  • Provide architectural oversight for ELT frameworks, automation, and orchestration tools (dbt, Airflow, Matillion, Fivetran, etc.)
  • Partner with engineering, data, product, and business teams to translate requirements into scalable, future-proof solutions
  • Mentor internal data engineering teams and influence leadership on data strategy and platform investment decisions
  • Serve as the senior technical authority for data architecture across the organization

Requirements

  • 7–10+ years experience in enterprise data engineering, architecture, or platform ownership roles
  • Proven expertise in: Snowflake (design, security, cost management, workload optimization)
  • SQL Server (schema design, tuning, stored procedures, indexing)
  • Advanced SQL capability with demonstrated experience optimizing large, complex, high volume workloads
  • Strong experience implementing and supporting Power BI enterprise deployments (governance, semantic layer design, modeling patterns)
  • Hands-on experience with modern ELT tooling and orchestration (dbt, Airflow, Fivetran, Stitch, Matillion, Databricks, etc.)
  • Demonstrated eCommerce data experience, ideally including Shopify — understanding of order lifecycle, OMS, payments, fulfillment, customer segmentation, and attribution
  • Experience building scalable architecture frameworks aligned to business intelligence, operational reporting, and AI/ML readiness

Nice to have

  • Retail or multi-channel commerce experience (stores + eCommerce)
  • API experience (REST / GraphQL) and complex system integrations
  • Knowledge of compliance and governance: SOC2, GDPR, CCPA, PCI-DSS
  • Python experience for workflow automation or integration scripting
