  • Ensure data is accessible, reliable, well-governed, and optimized for business consumption
  • Implement data quality controls, reconciliation processes, and automated monitoring
  • Improve end-to-end data freshness and delivery latency for reporting, analytics, and AI use cases

ENTERPRISE DATA ARCHITECTURE & GOVERNANCE IMPLEMENTATION

  • Demonstrate deep practical understanding of Enterprise Data Architecture and translate architecture principles into implementable engineering patterns
  • Apply enterprise data architecture principles across platforms and business domains
  • Define and maintain data models, data standards, metadata structures, and integration patterns
  • Embed strong data governance controls, lineage tracking, and metadata management into the data lifecycle
  • Establish and enforce data ownership, stewardship, and data quality practices across business domains
  • Ensure compliance with PDPA, internal security policies, audit requirements, and corporate governance standards
  • Implement strict access controls, data masking, and encryption standards in line with enterprise and group security policies
  • Drive adoption of modern architecture approaches (Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh, and event-driven patterns) where appropriate and beneficial

APPLICATION & ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION

  • Build seamless data exchange pipelines between the core cloud data platform and transactional business applications
  • Design and implement integrations across core systems, CRM platforms, customer applications, and external data providers
  • Implement modern integration patterns including APIs, CDC, event streaming, and batch processing
  • Ensure low-latency, reliable, secure, and scalable data movement across enterprise systems

Key Impacts:

  • Ensure high-quality, AI-ready data ingestion at scale, reducing time-to-market for enterprise AI assets
  • Establish a secure and compliant data foundation that protects enterprise data privacy during analytics and AI interactions
  • Eliminate critical data bottlenecks in production environments and improve latency/reliability for enterprise RAG and search workloads
  • Transition traditional warehouse/lake patterns toward future-ready graph- and vector-enabled AI data infrastructure where use cases justify adoption

Qualifications

EXPERIENCE

  • Master’s or bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, Computer Science or a related technical field
  • 7+ years of experience in data engineering, including 3+ years in senior or technical lead roles
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience leading data engineering teams
  • Hands-on experience architecting and operating cloud data platforms at production scale
  • Proven track record of successful cloud migrations, platform transformations, or large-scale data system implementations
  • Track record leading organization-wide initiatives (technical debt reduction, metrics convergence, process improvements)
  • Experience working in complex, matrixed organizations with multiple cross-functional teams

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE & HANDS-ON DEPTH

  • Advanced programming proficiency in Python and SQL
  • Must be comfortable writing production-grade code, not just “architecture only”
  • Deep understanding of large-scale data systems architecture:
    • Distributed systems design and trade-offs
    • Data warehousing, data lakes, and enterprise data architectures
    • ETL/ELT patterns and streaming data platforms
    • Data quality frameworks and validation patterns
    • Cost optimization across cloud platforms
  • Mastery of modern data engineering tooling (Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Container technologies, CI/CD pipelines, Data pipeline orchestration)
  • Strong database design and optimization (SQL and NoSQL)
  • Demonstrated ability to debug complex distributed systems independently
  • Stays current with emerging technologies and best practices in data engineering

LEADERSHIP & SOFT SKILLS

  • Demonstrated execution mindset and extreme ownership
  • Proactive problem-solver who sees challenges as technical problems to solve
  • Strong mentoring and coaching abilities
  • Excellent communication across all levels – translates between technical depth and executive strategy
  • Works effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with incomplete information
  • Builds psychological safety where team feels empowered to question, experiment, and take ownership
  • Track record of navigating complex stakeholder environments and driving alignment across competing priorities
