Manila, Philippines Behaviorally Full time

We’re hiring a hands-on Data Architect to own our SQL data estate, design scalable pipelines, and lead data enrichment across our Azure-first platform. You’ll set the standards for modeling, quality, security, and cost while writing production-grade Python and SQL daily.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Extremely strong Python & SQL (you can diagnose complex query plans, write PySpark and pandas with equal ease).
  • 7+ years in data engineering/architecture with production ownership of SQL databases and pipelines.
  • Proven design skills in data modeling (star/snowflake, Data Vault/Lakehouse), CDC/SCD, and semantics (dbt or equivalent).
  • Track record implementing data quality frameworks, lineage, and cost/performance guardrails at scale.
  • Strong understanding of multi-tenant SaaS, security, and privacy (GDPR basics).

What you’ll own

SQL Databases

  • Design and evolve schemas for OLTP/OLAP (Azure SQL, Synapse, Delta Lake), with partitioning, indexing, and RLS for multi-tenant isolation.
  • Establish data contracts and versioning, govern schema evolution, and implement CDC + SCD patterns.
  • Performance engineering: query tuning, resource classes, caching strategies, and cost guardrails.
  • Architect ELT/ETL across batch & streaming using Azure Data Factory/Synapse/Databricks, Event Hubs/Service Bus, Functions, and Container Apps/AKS.
  • Build reliable, observable pipelines (idempotent, retryable, lineage-aware) with SLAs/SLOs and runbooks.
  • Implement CI/CD for data (dbt/SQL projects, PySpark jobs, tests) using GitHub Actions and IaC (Terraform/Bicep).
  • Define and operate enrichment layers: UPC/GS1, OCR/EXIF metadata, taxonomies, embeddings, and third-party data joins.
  • Curate gold/semantic models for analytics & product APIs; manage feature/metric definitions and documentation.
  • Partner with DS/ML to operationalize feature stores, model outputs, drift signals, and evaluation tables.
  • Security & compliance by default: encryption, secret management, RBAC/ABAC, data retention and GDPR/SOC 2 controls.
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry + Azure Monitor/App Insights, data quality tests, freshness SLAs, and lineage in Purview.

What you’ll build (examples)

  • A durable image ingestion & enrichment pipeline: validate assets, extract OCR/UPC, compute embeddings, store lineage, publish search-ready views.
  • A hybrid retrieval layer (vector + filters) across Cosmos DB/Azure AI Search for similarity and recommendations.

Nice to have

  • Cosmos DB (incl. vector) and Azure AI Search ; embedding pipelines for images/text.
  • Feature stores, MLflow/registries, real-time inference plumbing.
  • SQL Server internals, PolyBase/Serverless SQL; Postgres familiarity.
  • Purview rollouts, governance programs, and data product operating models.

Our stack

Python (pandas, PySpark, FastAPI for data services), dbt (or equivalent), GitHub Actions, Terraform/Bicep

Observability: OpenTelemetry, Azure Monitor/App Insights, Sentry/Datadog (where applicable)
