Data Architect, hands-on data engineering background (to £600pd outside IR35), Remote First
If you're a Data Architect that is as equally comfortable designing target states at scale as you are deep-diving into data pipelines, while having a consultative approach then this could be the start of a long-term engagement.
Working within a small team, you will initially be working on a discovery exercise to uncover issues relating to data architecture, pipelines and platforms. The maturity assessment will cover capability, governance, existing platforms and modernisation requirements, with the outcomes being a series of deliverables that will help the end client to become "AI Ready" and scalable for future needs.
Following this exercise, you'll be part of the team that's responsible to guiding the Enterprise customer towards their goals.
To be successful within this role, you'll have been working as a lead/senior Data Architect within a complex organisation having probably started your career within Data Engineering. You'll have expert knowledge in AWS and the associated modern data stack. If you have worked for a consultancy previously, it will help enormously.
You'll work remotely primarily with very occasional travel to the South East UK. Apply today to start your next contract position in April.
