As an Architect in Credera’s Data capability group, you will lead teams in implementing modern data architecture, data engineering pipelines, and advanced analytical solutions. Our projects range from designing and implementing the latest data platform approaches (i.e. Lakehouse, DataOps, Data Mesh) using best practices and cloud solutions, building scalable data and ML pipelines, democratizing data through modern governance approaches, and delivering data products using advanced machine learning, visualization, and integration approaches.

You will act as the primary architect and technical lead on projects to scope and estimate work streams, architect and model technical solutions to meet business requirements, serve as a technical expert in client communications, and mentor junior project team members. On a typical day, you might expect to participate in design sessions, build data structures for an enterprise data lake or statistical models for a machine learning algorithm, coach junior resources, and manage technical backlogs and release management tools. Additionally, you will seek out new business development opportunities at existing and new clients.
