[Hiring] Senior Data Architect @Bluprintx

Role Description

BPX is hiring a Senior Data Architect as we build out a dedicated Data capability alongside our Intelligent Marketing practice. You will design the data foundations that sit underneath enterprise front-office programmes:

• The cloud data platform
• The models and pipelines that feed it
• The flows that carry customer data out to CDPs, engagement platforms, and analytics tools

Snowflake is the core platform on our largest current programmes, working with Twilio Segment, Braze, and Amplitude. You will also shape designs on Databricks, BigQuery, Azure, and AWS as client needs demand. This is a hands-on architecture role:

• Run discovery with client data, IT, and marketing teams
• Set the target-state design
• Guide data engineers and prove the design works in production

On every programme you lead, you are the client-facing authority on how customer data is structured, governed, and put to work.

Qualifications

• Eight or more years in data engineering or data architecture, including at least three years designing enterprise data platforms end to end
• Deep hands-on experience with Snowflake
• SnowPro Advanced: Architect or equivalent certification is a distinct advantage
• Working knowledge of at least one other major data platform, such as Databricks, BigQuery, Azure (Synapse or Fabric), or AWS (Redshift)
• Strong data modelling skills across dimensional, Data Vault or similar approaches, and expert SQL
• Experience with modern data tooling for ingestion, transformation, and orchestration, such as dbt, Fivetran, Airflow or equivalent, plus a working command of Python
• Experience connecting data platforms to marketing and customer systems, ideally CDPs such as Twilio Segment, Adobe Real-Time CDP or Salesforce Data Cloud, and engagement platforms such as Braze
• Practical grasp of data governance, security, and privacy, including GDPR, consent data, and role-based access
• Consulting or agency background, credible in front of clients and able to explain architecture choices to marketers and engineers in the same room
• Evidence of leading or mentoring data engineers on enterprise delivery
• Fluent English and the right to work in an EMEA country where BPX operates

Requirements

• Lead discovery and assessment workshops with client data, IT, and marketing stakeholders, translating business and marketing use cases into data requirements
• Design target-state data architecture on cloud data platforms, covering ingestion, storage layers, data models, transformation, and serving
• Define customer data models and identity strategy that work across the warehouse, CDP, and downstream engagement and analytics tools
• Architect the integration between the data warehouse and marketing systems, including warehouse-native and zero-copy audience patterns, reverse ETL, and event streaming
• Assess and plan changes to existing data platforms, including impact analysis on downstream CDP, engagement, and reporting flows
• Set standards for data quality, lineage, security, and access control, and design governance that meets GDPR and sector-specific requirements
• Model data volumes, performance, and platform consumption so clients can plan capacity and cost with confidence
• Stay hands-on: review data models and pipeline code, build proofs of concept, and clear technical blockers for data engineers during delivery
• Mentor data engineers and help shape BPX's Data capability, including delivery patterns, accelerators, and reusable assets
• Support pre-sales with scoping, estimation, solution shaping, and technical credibility in client pitches

Benefits

• Equal Employment Opportunity
• Accessible recruitment process
• Consideration for reasonable accommodation at any stage
