To accelerate this effort, we are seeking a Lead Data Architect / Acting Product Owner who will own the technical vision, high-level design, and functional roadmap for the platform.
This role blends deep technical leadership with strategic product ownership. You will define the data architecture, ensure it scales across multi-cloud environments, and translate business priorities into a clear technical roadmap. You’ll lead design sessions, make trade-offs under tight timelines, and partner closely with engineering, AI/ML teams, and business stakeholders.

- Data Platform Design: Build and maintain multi-modal data strategies, incorporating lakehouse patterns, open data formats (Parquet, Delta), and APIs for data access.
- AI/ML Data Enablement: Design infrastructure to support advanced AI/ML workflows, including vector databases, graph stores, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
- Multi-Cloud Leadership: Guide deployment across AWS, Azure, and GCP, ensuring portability, resilience, and compliance.
- Stakeholder Alignment: Partner with business leaders to balance innovation with near-term deliverables; lead design sessions and communicate trade-offs clearly.
- Governance & Standards: Establish best practices for data quality, security, lineage, and lifecycle management.
What you bring to the table:
- 8+ years experience as a data architect in B2B SaaS organizations.
- Experience serving as a product owner or technical lead, balancing competing priorities to deliver high-impact MVPs.
- Proven track record designing and delivering scalable, enterprise-grade data architectures.
- Deep expertise in lakehouse architectures, open data formats (Parquet, Delta), and large-scale data pipelines.
- Strong experience with multi-cloud deployments, hybrid data environments, and interoperability.
- Demonstrated understanding of AI/ML data needs, including vector databases, graph stores, and RAG frameworks.
