What are the responsibilities and job description for the GCP Data Architect position at HTC Global Services?
Job Description
Job Description:
We are seeking a highly skilled Data Architect to join our team on an agency basis. This role is uniquely suited for professionals who bring a strong foundation in data engineering and hands-on programming, complemented by meaningful exposure to data architecture practices for analytics systems. We value depth of skill and breadth of experience over a specific number of years — candidates with strong, demonstrable capabilities across any combination of the competencies below are encouraged to apply. In this role, you will bridge the gap between enterprise architecture thinking and hands-on data engineering execution. You will be expected to design scalable, governed data systems while remaining deeply involved in building and optimizing the pipelines, models, and transformation layers that power large-scale analytics and operational use cases. This is a highly technical, hands-on position that requires both strategic thinking and the ability to write production-quality code. Important Note on Priorities: While this is posted as a Data Architect role, hands-on data engineering and programming skills are the primary focus of this search. Candidates with a strong data engineering background and meaningful exposure to data architecture concepts and practices are strongly preferred over candidates with architecture experience alone. The ability to build, optimize, and deliver working data systems is weighted more heavily than formal architecture credentials.
