Full Job Description
The Opportunity

What You'll Do
  • Define a managed AWS reference architecture that delivers reliability without requiring a large team to operate it
  • Specify the layered data model - raw to cleansed to curated to a fully safe analytical layer that holds no sensitive data - so the program never becomes a data swamp
  • Establish governance across every layer: data classification, constituent PII handling, access control, lineage, and residency
  • Create reusable engineering patterns for capture, land-and-store, transform-and-serve, and govern, so every team building data products assembles them consistently instead of reinventing plumbing
  • Design loose coupling from operational systems using change-data-capture or scheduled extracts, without creating hard dependencies on their roadmaps
  • Set the two-speed guardrail - make the governed, pattern-based path the default and define the narrow criteria under which a low-code workflow is permitted
  • Drop into delivery and build data products yourself when the team needs the extra hands


What You Bring
  • Senior data architecture experience with production AWS systems, including S3-based lake or lakehouse designs and a governed analytical layer
  • Deep fluency with medallion or layered data architectures and the governance controls that ride across them
  • Experience designing contextual or semantic data layers that reduce GenAI token consumption so downstream AI features run faster and cost less
  • Hands-on knowledge of managed AWS data services - Glue, Athena, Lake Formation, DMS or equivalent - with a strong bias toward managed over self-run
  • Proven experience designing for data classification, PII handling, access control, lineage, and residency, ideally in a regulated or public sector context
  • The judgment to build just enough: you can define a blueprint without over-engineering it, defer what the backlog doesn't yet need, and hand off clean, documented patterns a small team can execute against


Nice-to-Have Qualifications
  • Familiarity with dbt and warehouse-side modeling (e.g. Redshift) and with low-code orchestration such as n8n
  • Experience with Canadian data residency requirements and multi-region AWS deployments
  • A track record of standing up governance from day one rather than retrofitting it later
