- Evaluate and optimize cloud infrastructure and customer data platform costs through FinOps practices.
- Translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable recommendations for technical stakeholders and business leadership.
- Promote scalable, efficient, and pragmatic data architecture practices aligned with long-term business objectives.
Requirements:
- Solid professional background in Data Architecture, including data development, modeling, and data pipeline design.
- Deep, hands-on knowledge of Salesforce Data Cloud, including customer data modeling (DMO/DSO), profile unification, calculated insights, and activation rules; this is a non-negotiable requirement.
- Strong expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) data architecture and services, including BigQuery, Cloud Storage, pipeline orchestration, and identity and access management.
- Proven ability to understand the complete data lifecycle and translate business processes into end-to-end data architectures.
- Strong understanding of data integration, governance, quality, and scalable cloud-based data environments.
