Задачи

• We are looking for a Principal Architect who operates at the intersection of platform architecture, customer-facing data products, and AI enablement
• This is not a traditional infrastructure role
• Your mandate is to architect the governed, reusable data, knowledge, and skill layer that powers analytics, AI agents, and real-time decision systems across the business
• As the most senior individual contributor on the team, you will be the primary technical authority responsible for evolving our platform beyond raw data storage into a structured system of three layers
• Data Layer: You will design the patterns for governed, well-modeled structured datasets—from transactional records and event streams to dimensional models and feature tables
• You will ensure high quality, strong lineage, and regional compliance are "baked in" to the foundation, keeping it clean, trusted, and queryable
• Knowledge Layer: You will architect the semantic layer that makes data meaningful to both humans and machines
• This includes business metric definitions, entity relationships, and contextual documentation
• Your goal is to ensure an analyst or an AI agent can ask "what is our net revenue retention in SEA?" and receive a consistent, trustworthy answer without ever having to reverse-engineer a schema
• Skills Layer: You will define the architecture for operationalized capabilities that act on data and knowledge
• This includes reusable analytical workflows, agent-callable tools, automated pipelines, and transformation primitives
• These are the building blocks that allow AI agents and internal teams to reason and act reliably, rather than just querying data
• This role is based in Singapore
• Own the technical execution of regional and global data localisation strategies within the Databricks environment
• Design scalable patterns that satisfy strict regulatory requirements while maintaining a unified global data model across priority markets
• Reconcile local compliance constraints with global consistency in definitions, metrics, and knowledge artifacts
• Partner with Data Science, AI Engineering, Product, and Risk teams to ensure the platform supports experimentation and high-quality decision-making
• Lead global data modeling efforts, creating unified schemas that accommodate regional variance
• Define and implement “Agent Interfaces”—APIs and tools that enable AI agents to interact with Knowledge and Skills layers
• Implement Governance-as-Code, ensuring automated data lineage and quality controls are embedded directly into the data platform

Требования

• We're looking for people who meet the minimum qualifications for this role
• The preferred qualifications are great to have, but are not mandatory
• 10+ years of experience designing and building large-scale data systems with strong architectural fundamentals
• Hands-on experience with the Databricks ecosystem, including Unity Catalog and Delta Lake
• Experience implementing semantic layers or metric stores to enable consistent reporting and analytics
• Solid understanding of how AI/agent-based systems consume data, with experience building APIs or data services to support them
• Experience designing data solutions that meet regional data residency and compliance requirements
• Demonstrated senior-level individual contributor experience, including leading design reviews and mentoring engineers
