Data Architect

Sr. Data Architect

Employment Type

• Contract - 6 month SOW (however, this is not the end of the assignment, and we should anticipate continuous extensions)

LOCATION DETAILS:

• Hybrid
• 1616 Woodall Rodgers Fwy, Dallas, TX 75202

Key Skills & Requirements:

• Recent Oracle experience (preferably Oracle Exadata) is a must; candidate should have used Oracle within the last 2 years.
• Strong data modeling and design experience (OLTP & OLAP).
• Ability to communicate clearly about their own contributions, not just team efforts.
• Hands-on experience with SQL Server is also valued.
• Should be able to work directly with functional users to gather requirements and explain architectural decisions.

Not a Fit:

• Candidates focused heavily on cloud technologies (AWS, GCP, etc.).
• Profiles that are more data engineer or enterprise architect oriented.
• Candidates who only talk theory and can't explain how they applied it in projects.
• DBAs who are strictly physical (indexing, storage, etc.) with no architectural mindset.

Interview Focus:

• Candidates must explain recent, real-world solutions they’ve implemented.
• Must be able to articulate why they made certain architecture decisions and what the impact was.

Other Details:

• In-person interviews required (DFW-based preferred; relocation okay at candidate’s expense).
• ETL tools used: Informatica, Ab Initio, Tibco ESB, Goldengate.
• Team is 95% on-premise, with no current cloud migration plans.
• Role supports multiple simultaneous projects — both small and enterprise — requiring modeling, design review, and user interaction.
• Data Governance and MDM are early-stage; experience here is a plus, not required.
