Data Architect

We're looking for a Data Architect who can design and build an enterprise data platform for Great Minds, a high-growth, mission-driven organization. The ideal candidate will have 3+ years of experience with cloud data architecture on AWS or Azure and expertise in ELT design and execution.

Requirements

• 3+ years working with cloud data architecture on AWS or Azure—specifically in the context of modern data platforms, not general cloud infrastructure.
• 3+ years producing architecture diagrams and data flow documentation using tools like Miro or Microsoft Visio clearly enough that both engineers and non-technical stakeholders can act on them.
• 2+ years leading tool evaluation and selection processes, including facilitating stakeholder input, managing vendor conversations, and producing written recommendations that hold up to scrutiny.
• Demonstrated expertise in ELT design and execution—you have real opinions about where transformation logic should live and why.
• Experience designing and managing modern data platforms including data lakes, data warehouses, and the pipelines that connect them.
• Strong analytical instincts: you can receive a raw data dump, understand its provenance and limitations, and identify what it will and won't support analytically.

Benefits

• Paid Time Off
• 401k Matching
• Retirement Plan
