Data Principle Architect

About the Position

Data Principle Architect

We are seeking a Senior Data Principle Architect with extensive experience in data architecture design and migration to join our team in Sweden.

Responsibilities

• Designing enterprise data topologies choosing and implementing Data Mesh (decentralized, domain-owned) vs. Data Fabric (centralized, metadata-driven virtualization) architectures, or a hybrid, based on client context
• Leading legacy-to-cloud migrations moving clients off Hadoop clusters/mainframes/legacy ERPs onto Databricks/Snowflake on Azure, using phased rollouts (assess → dual-run → cutover → optimize) rather than risky "big bang" switchovers
• Building governance & metadata infrastructure data catalogs, lineage tracking, business glossaries (via Unity Catalog, Collibra, or Alation), with federated access control
• Owning compliance-by-design GDPR anonymization, right-to-be-forgotten workflows, data residency/sovereignty within the EU, and increasingly, data quality/governance for the EU AI Act
• Pre-sales and stakeholder translation scoping engagements, diagnosing whether a client has a skills gap vs. a build need, and translating technical tradeoffs (latency, storage cost) into business language for executives
• Staying hands-on writing/reviewing dbt models and SQL, working in proper Git/CI/CD workflows, not just producing PowerPoints

Requirements

• Deep, provable experience with Data Mesh and/or Data Fabric architecture design
• Microsoft Azure expertise (this is the primary cloud target)
• Strong hands-on background in Databricks and Snowflake (Delta Lake, warehousing, query optimization)
• dbt + advanced SQL
• Experience with data governance/catalog tooling (Unity Catalog, Collibra, Alation) and lineage
• Solid Git/SDLC discipline - this rules out candidates who've only worked in ad hoc, undocumented environments
• GDPR/data residency/RBAC literacy - critical given the Nordic/EU client base
• Executive communication skills and a genuine "doer-leader" profile (still writes code, not purely strategic)

Nice to Have

• Python/Scala/Java/Go
• AWS or GCP exposure
• Terraform
• Streaming (Kafka/Event Hubs/Flink)
• Docker/Kubernetes
• FinOps/cloud cost optimization

We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Opportunity to work in a leading tech environment in Sweden
• Professional growth and development opportunities
