Job Specifications

About the company

Great opportunity for an Architect with experience of designing and building Data Platforms to join a leading FinTech business in Manchester at the beginning of a major modernisation of its data landscape.

The business is investing heavily in next-generation cloud and data capabilities, with a strong commitment to best-in-class governance, innovation, and secure data access across the organisation.

About the team

You’ll join an established Data Platform team delivering strategic solutions using an agile approach.

Built on a modern cloud estate with Snowflake and Azure at its core, the team is expanding its capabilities to meet wide-ranging business needs.

You’ll collaborate across architecture, engineering, and business domains, contributing to the organisation’s enterprise-wide architecture vision.

About the role

As Data Platform Architect, you’ll have real autonomy and will work across 5 squads of 40 people in total to help shape and evolve the architectural roadmap for a rapidly scaling data platform.

This is a player coach role, so although it has a strategic focus, you should also be comfortable collaborating with engineering teams and being hands-on to help build out POCs.

Required skills

Proven experience architecting and scaling Snowflake-based data platforms in Azure
Strong understanding of modern data architectures (Data Mesh, Fabric, Lakehouse, ELT)
Knowledge of data governance frameworks (e.g., DCAM)
Hands-on IaC experience in Azure (Terraform)
CI/CD pipeline implementation
Strong communicator with experience in agile, cross-functional delivery
Excellent problem-solving, autonomy, and commitment to engineering best practice
Collaborative mindset and continuous-learning approach

Desired

Financial services or regulated-industry exposure
Docker / Snowpark
Streaming tech (Kafka, Event Hub)
Collibra integration
Python proficiency

In return

In return, they’re offering a fantastic package including £100k salary plus 10% bonus, 9% pension, LTIP and hybrid working (3 days per week from their city centre office).
