Principal Data Architect

RITWIK Infotech Inc
Houston, TX Contractor
POSTED ON 6/24/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/23/2026

Role : Principal Data Architect

Location: Houston, TX (Hybrid) (1 week onsite every month. Look for Local to TX or Nearby state candidates)

Position Overview:

We are looking for a forward-thinking 10 Years Data Architect, who is visionary to pioneer the engineering and orchestration of an enterprise-scale, Self-Healing Data Fabric. In this high-impact mandate, you will dismantle traditional, rigid ETL pathways and help implement an intelligent "nervous system" framework where operational metadata is continuously active, enterprise data governance is completely computational, and multi-party data virtualization relies on zero-copy architectures.

Mandatory Technical:

  • Active Metadata Infrastructure: Demonstrated success designing closed-loop data automation pipelines (e.g., building automated engines for metadata-triggered schema self-repair and structural drift remediation).
  • Advanced Semantic Engineering: Comprehensive mastery of semantic web standards, including RDF, OWL, and SHACL, for building ontology-first structural data models alongside SPARQL for context-aware graph reasoning.
  • Policy-as-Code Compliance: Production-grade deployment experience utilizing Open Policy Agent (OPA) or equivalent zero-trust policy engines to enforce programmatic, contextual data access control layers.
  • Caelum or Amundsen push-events: Alongside Datahub s Actions Framework to drive real-time, event-based data quality orchestration and automated schema rollbacks

Salary : $70 - $80
