Job description

Tiger Analytics is pioneering what AI and analytics can do to solve some of the toughest problems faced by organizations globally. We develop bespoke solutions powered by data and technology for several Fortune 100 companies. We have offices in multiple cities across the US, UK, India, and Singapore, and a substantial remote global workforce.

If you are passionate about leading large-scale cloud and data modernization initiatives that transform enterprise platforms, we would love to hear from you. We are seeking an experienced and dynamic professional to play a key role in assessing, planning, and driving enterprise migration programs across data, applications, and cloud platforms. This role will help clients modernize their technology landscape, optimize legacy systems, and enable scalable, cloud-native architectures aligned with business goals. The Data Architect will support enterprise data initiatives by designing and delivering scalable, modern data architecture solutions with a primary focus on canonical data modeling, semantic data mesh, and realtime streaming architectures using Kafka. This role drives alignment across business domains and enables highquality, governed, and interoperable data for analytics and operational use cases.

Responsibilities:

  1. Develop and enhance canonical data models, semantic models, and domaindriven data contracts to enable crossenterprise data interoperability.
  2. Produce conceptual, logical, and physical data models aligned to business capabilities, modernization goals, and data mesh principles.
  3. Design and implement data architecture patterns to support realtime streaming solutions using Kafka.
  4. Partner with product owners, domain architects, and data engineering teams to translate business needs into scalable, wellgoverned data models.
  5. Ensure consistent application of data governance, metadata management, and lineage standards across data domains.
  6. Architect and optimize data pipelines and storage solutions using AWS (S3, Redshift, Glue, EMR, Lambda) and Snowflake.
  7. Contribute architectural artifacts, modeling standards, and reusable templates for enterprise data modeling.
  8. Support enterprise initiatives around realtime data integration, semantic mesh, and AI/ML enablement through strong data architecture foundations.

Requirements

  • Significant experience with canonical data modeling and enterprisewide conceptual/logical/physical modeling.
  • Strong background in semantic modeling and data mesh design principles.
  • Handson experience with Kafka, including event modeling, schema strategy, and realtime pipeline architecture.
  • Proficiency in AWS data services (S3, Redshift, Glue, EMR, Lambda, EC2) and Snowflake.
  • Strong understanding of ETL/ELT design, data integration patterns, and distributed data systems.
  • Familiarity with data governance, data quality, metadata, and lineage frameworks.
  • Strong SQL skills and proficiency in at least one programming language (Python preferred).
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to work across technical and business teams.
  • Handson experience with enterprise data catalog and metadata systems.
  • AWS certification (Solutions Architect, Data Analytics Specialty, etc.)
