Data Architect Responsibilities

The responsibilities are broadly grouped into architecture design, compliance, business enablement, and leadership.

1. Architect the Future

• Design and Deliver Solutions: Design and deliver enterprise-scale cloud data solutions for high-stakes transformations in sectors like Banking and Telco across ASEAN & Australia.
• Platform Design: Design secure, scalable, and modern cloud data platforms that serve as the backbone for digital transformation programs.
• End-to-End Leadership: Lead end-to-end architecture, from pre-sales solutioning to final delivery.

2. Drive Compliance & Trust

• Governance and Privacy: Ensure that data platforms meet the highest standards of governance, privacy, and regulatory compliance.
• Regulatory Adherence: Apply strong knowledge of regulatory & compliance frameworks (such as PDPA, MAS TRM, APRA, and GDPR) to secure data architecture design.

3. Enable Business Growth

• Business Translation: Translate complex technical architectures into tangible business value.
• Stakeholder Management: Empower CxOs and stakeholders to accelerate innovation, reduce risk, and improve decision-making.
• Strategic Partnership: Work directly with hyperscalers (AWS, GCP, Azure), clients, and partners to co-create cutting-edge solutions and accelerators.

4. Elevate Standards & Leadership

• Mentorship: Mentor engineers and architects across geographies, helping them embed best practices for performance, cost optimization, and long-term sustainability.
• Delivery Ownership: Take end-to-end ownership from pre-sales solutioning (RFI/RFP, SOWs, HLD/LLD) to delivery governance and business value realization.
• Team Leadership: Proven ability to mentor and lead distributed technical teams across the region (ASEAN & Australia).
• Travel: Be willing to travel across the region for client, partner, and delivery engagements.
