  • Translate business challenges into compelling, defensible technical solutions
  • Develop client-ready assets: architecture blueprints, roadmaps, and business cases

Architecture & Technical Excellence

  • Design enterprise-scale data platforms spanning ingestion, transformation, storage, analytics, and governance
  • Architect solutions for both real-time streaming and batch processing workloads
  • Define data governance frameworks leveraging Microsoft Purview and industry best practices
  • Ensure solutions are secure, performant, cost-optimized, and production-ready

Delivery Oversight & Quality

  • Provide architectural governance across active engagements
  • Conduct design reviews, resolve technical blockers, and ensure delivery quality
  • Champion documentation standards, knowledge transfer, and long-term maintainability
  • Mentor architects and engineers, raising the bar across the team

Thought Leadership

  • Create high-quality technical content: blogs, white papers, reference architectures, and presentations
  • Represent GOBI at industry events, webinars, and Microsoft partner forums
  • Contribute to practice IP development and accelerator creation

Qualifications

Experience

  • 8+ years in data architecture, data engineering, or enterprise data solutions

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
