Your Role
Own the platform architecture. Shape and evolve the target architecture across infrastructure utilities, data product experience and federated governance, together with Data Architecture and Product.
Build the Platform-as-a-Product. A standard ingestion framework, roles and permissions, cost monitoring per product and team, and agent/AI readiness.
Make governance computational. Data contracts, quality gates, lineage and policies as code, enforced in the pipeline instead of by review. Monitoring, alerting, SLAs and incident handling.
Deliver data assets to consumers. Standard output ports (API, MCP server, A2A, Kafka events) and a OpenMetaData catalogue for humans and agents.
Work with domain teams and stakeholders. Reference products, onboarding playbook and hands-on support for data domain teams. Bring the technical view into stakeholder discussions.
