4 days onsite 

We’re partnering with a growing investment management / financial services business that’s making a significant investment in its technology environment. This is a hands-on Data Architect role for someone who enjoys building and owning data platforms, not just designing them.

You’ll play a key role in shaping and scaling the organisation’s Azure-based data capability during a period of growth.

What you’ll be doing
  • Owning and evolving the Azure data architecture across core financial and investment systems
  • Designing and building data models, pipelines, integrations, and lakehouse solutions
  • Supporting complex financial and investment data flows
  • Leading data migrations and platform uplift initiatives
  • Working closely with technical and business stakeholders in a small, collaborative environment
  • Remaining hands-on across design, build, troubleshooting, and optimisation
What we’re looking for
  • Strong, hands-on Azure data experience (this must be your core platform)
  • Background in financial services, investments, wealth, superannuation, or fintech
  • Experience working with complex, high-volume financial data
  • Solid experience with:
    • Azure (Fabric, Synapse, Data Factory, ADLS)
    • SQL and Python
    • Data modelling, ETL, and lakehouse architectures
  • An architect who is still on the tools, not someone removed from delivery
  • Comfortable operating autonomously in a lean, fast-moving environment
