Job Description

Senior Data Architect at Stratus, managing canonical data architecture and supporting AI/ML workloads. Driving modernization and technical leadership in data engineering.

Responsibilities:

  • Own our canonical data architecture — the schema, contracts, tenancy, and governance.
  • Make production data AI-ready: well-modeled, contract-enforced, lineage-tracked, and drift-detectable.
  • Own the canonical data model — the normalized definition of the core business objects shared across our products.
  • Define the multi-tenant data architecture: tenancy isolation, data residency posture, and per-tenant cost attribution.
  • Lead staged modernization toward the right mix of stores and patterns.
  • Own the architectural direction of the data pipeline and lake / lakehouse layer.
  • Drive hands-on prototypes, reference implementations, and in-repo guardrails.
  • Partner with database engineering on production data health while owning long-term architectural direction.

Requirements:

  • 8+ years in data architecture, data engineering, database administration, or analytics engineering, with 3+ years in senior / lead roles.
  • Demonstrated ownership of a canonical or enterprise data model / cross-product schema.
  • Hands-on MongoDB at production scale (Atlas M40+ ideal): document modeling, aggregation framework, indexing, change streams, sharding, replica sets.
  • Strong polyglot-persistence judgment.
  • Hands-on relational depth: schema design, indexing strategy, and query tuning.
  • Production experience making data AI/ML-ready: data architecture supporting RAG, semantic search, embeddings / vector pipelines, or agentic workloads.
  • Multi-tenant architecture experience: data residency and per-tenant cost attribution.
  • Pipeline / ELT / lake / lakehouse design at scale, with incremental migration strategies that minimize disruption.
  • Cloud-native data services (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
  • Strong grasp of data quality, testing, lineage, and monitoring.

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive and competitive health benefits plan
  • Matching 401k contributions
  • 20 days annual PTO
  • Primarily remote work with occasional annual team onsites
