Role & Responsibilities

• Own the target-state technical architecture across Microsoft Fabric/FDP and Azure iPaaS/middleware, establishing a unified EDM direction for data platforms, integration, data quality, and technical governance controls.
• Translate Enterprise Architecture, Global, Security, Data Governance, and platform standards into practical Fabric/FDP and Azure iPaaS architecture patterns, implementation guardrails, and production-readiness requirements for US EDM delivery.
• Maintain architecture decision records and establish reusable EDM implementation patterns and guardrails aligned with Enterprise Architecture and Global standards, accelerating delivery while reducing duplication and unmanaged technical risk.
• Review and challenge designs from internal teams and delivery partners, ensuring solutions entering EDM-controlled platforms meet architecture and production-readiness criteria.
• Define build-to-run handoff requirements, support models, vendor acceptance criteria, and the technical evidence required for sustainable ownership after delivery.
• Maintain the technical capability roadmap for Fabric/FDP and Azure iPaaS/middleware, providing architecture, dependency, capacity, cost, risk, and sequencing input to the integrated EDM roadmap owned by EDM leadership.
• Assess platform capacity, consumption, licensing, vendor delivery capacity, resilience, technical debt, and cost-optimization opportunities to inform investment and architecture decisions.
• Partner with Data Governance to translate standards for quality, lineage, access, control, and accountability into implementable technical patterns.
• Define lifecycle-management expectations across source control, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, configuration management, environment promotion, automated testing, deployment, monitoring, and operational support.
• Establish clear technical ownership and decision paths across EDM, Enterprise Architecture, Global platform teams, BI & Analytics, application teams, source-system owners, and delivery partners, routing solutions to accountable teams before design or capacity is committed.

Qualifications

• At least 8 years of progressive experience across data architecture, integration architecture, cloud data platforms, or related engineering disciplines, including at least 3 years in a lead architecture or enterprise solution-design capacity.
• Hands-on experience architecting Microsoft Fabric solutions is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated architecture experience with Microsoft Fabric and Azure data services, or deep experience with comparable modern cloud data platforms supported by direct Microsoft Fabric implementation exposure. Experience should include lakehouse and warehouse patterns, data pipelines, workspace and environment strategy, security, monitoring, deployment, and production supportability.
• Demonstrated ability to influence architecture and delivery decisions across teams and partners without direct reporting authority.
• Deep knowledge of Azure integration capabilities and enterprise integration patterns, including APIs, messaging/events, orchestration, error handling, observability, and supportability.
• Strong understanding of platform lifecycle management, including source control, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, configuration management, environment promotion, automated testing, monitoring, logging, and operational support practices.
• Experience defining architecture standards, reference patterns, decision records, non-functional requirements, and production-readiness criteria.
• Strong understanding of data quality, lineage, metadata, access controls, reconciliation, and resilience as technical control requirements.
• Experience evaluating cloud capacity, consumption, licensing, vendor delivery capacity, platform costs, and technical optimization trade-offs.
• Experience directing and governing partner-delivered solutions, including design review, quality expectations, production acceptance, knowledge transfer, and build-to-run handoff.
• Ability to communicate complex architecture decisions in concise, plain language to technical and executive audiences.
• Strong partnership skills across Enterprise Architecture, Security, Global platforms, BI & Analytics, application teams, Data Governance, and external delivery partners.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
