Data Practice | Remote (Global) | Senior
About the Practice
TechTorch's Data Practice sits at the intersection of enterprise data and applied AI. We design and build AI-native systems that don't just analyze the past — they actively drive decisions. Our work spans data infrastructure and pipelines, intelligent automation, and full-stack AI applications across industries.
We work the way the best client-delivery teams now operate: small teams, deep ownership, no hand-offs at boundaries. We take problems from a client whiteboard to production, and we let AI do the heavy lifting wherever it earns its place.
The Role
As a Data Architect, you will be responsible for designing, deploying, and governing modern data architectures that support enterprise-scale analytics, reporting, and operational use cases. You’ll define how data is stored, integrated, accessed, and secured across systems — aligning data strategy with business priorities.
You will collaborate with both business and technology stakeholders to design scalable and efficient data platforms, define data modeling standards, and enable seamless integration across the enterprise. Your work will ensure data integrity, security, and usability, serving as a foundation for advanced analytics and AI initiatives.
What You'll Do
Develop and maintain enterprise data architecture, including models, flow diagrams, and integration frameworks
Define and enforce architecture standards, governance models, and documentation practices
Design scalable, flexible solutions that align with modern data warehousing and cloud-native best practices
Drive the design and implementation of data integration pipelines and APIs across systems
Lead efforts in data modeling, database design, and architecture optimization
Collaborate with data engineers, analysts, and developers to ensure architectural consistency and performance
Mentor and provide technical direction to engineers on the Data Practice team, including full-stack engineers building applications on top of the data foundation
Oversee data quality, lineage, and security strategies across the organization
Provide guidance on big data technologies, ETL platforms, and modern cloud ecosystems
Support strategic decisions through architectural reviews, proofs of concept, and solution roadmaps
Who You Are
We’re looking for high-caliber professionals who meet the following criteria:
7+ years of experience in data architecture, data engineering, or related roles in complex environments
Demonstrated experience designing robust technical solutions for clients or customers
Experience serving as a technical lead - mentoring, coaching, and setting technical direction for data engineers, analysts, and other technical resources
Strong background in data modeling (conceptual, logical, physical), warehousing (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery), and database design
Familiarity with modern data transformation practices (e.g., dbt) and dimensional modeling patterns, including Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD)
Proficient in data modeling tools (e.g., ER/Studio, Erwin) and relational/NoSQL databases (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB)
Fluent with AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) as production accelerators, with the credibility to evaluate and coach engineers on how they use them
Skilled in applying AI/ML to complex data challenges, including designing architectures for generative AI and RAG solutions, and automating data pipelines
Experience with CRM and/or ERP ecosystems (e.g., Salesforce, NetSuite) and analyzing data to uncover quality issues, identify revenue leakage and/or drive operational efficiency
Knowledge of modern cloud data stacks (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP)
Hands-on experience with ETL/integration tools (e.g., Talend, Informatica)
Familiarity with building and/or designing reporting solutions for business stakeholders (e.g., Power BI, Tableau)
Comfortable contributing to business development activities such as supporting proposals, scoping projects, and growing accounts
Strategic mindset with a focus on business value, scalability, and performance
Excellent communication skills and ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders
Adaptable, collaborative, and continuously improving in a fast-paced delivery environment
