Governance & Security:

Establish data governance, data quality standards, and access control policies across all data stores.

Technical Leadership:

Guide engineering teams on best practices for Java development, code quality, design patterns, and system design.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

10+ years of total experience in software engineering and data architecture roles. Advanced expertise in Java (Java 8+, Spring Boot, concurrency, performance tuning, microservices). Proven track record designing enterprise-grade data platforms, data warehouses, and data lakes. Hands-on experience with modern relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) and NoSQL stores (MongoDB, Cassandra, DynamoDB). Strong experience with streaming and messaging architectures using Apache Kafka or JMS. Expertise in Cloud Data Platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and distributed computing tools (Apache Spark, Hadoop). Proficiency in data modeling (dimensional modeling, ERD, Schema-on-Read).

Preferred Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. Experience with cloud data warehousing platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift). Familiarity with DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
