Data Architect

The OpportunityEuna Solutions is building a modern data foundation, and we need the architect who will define it. You'll set the reference architecture, engineering patterns, and governance posture for an entire data program — then roll up your sleeves and build alongside the team when it matters. If you thrive on designing things right the first time and handing durable patterns to engineers who can run with them, this is your engagement.
What You'll Do
Define a managed AWS reference architecture that delivers reliability without requiring a large team to operate it
Specify the layered data model — raw to cleansed to curated to a fully safe analytical layer that holds no sensitive data — so the program never becomes a data swamp
Establish governance across every layer: data classification, constituent PII handling, access control, lineage, and residency
Create reusable engineering patterns for capture, land-and-store, transform-and-serve, and govern, so every team building data products assembles them consistently instead of reinventing plumbing
Design loose coupling from operational systems using change-data-capture or scheduled extracts, without creating hard dependencies on their roadmaps
Set the two-speed guardrail — make the governed, pattern-based path the default and define the narrow criteria under which a low-code workflow is permitted
Drop into delivery and build data products yourself when the team needs the extra hands
What You Bring
Senior data architecture experience with production AWS systems, including S3-based lake or lakehouse designs and a governed analytical layer
Deep fluency with medallion or layered data architectures and the governance controls that ride across them
Experience designing contextual or semantic data layers that reduce GenAI token consumption so downstream AI features run faster and cost less
Hands-on knowledge of managed AWS data services — Glue, Athena, Lake Formation, DMS or equivalent — with a strong bias toward managed over self-run
Proven experience designing for data classification, PII handling, access control, lineage, and residency, ideally in a regulated or public sector context
The judgment to build just enough: you can define a blueprint without over-engineering it, defer what the backlog doesn't yet need, and hand off clean, documented patterns a small team can execute against
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
Familiarity with dbt and warehouse-side modeling (e.G. Redshift) and with low-code orchestration such as n8n
Experience with Canadian data residency requirements and multi-region AWS deployments
A track record of standing up governance from day one rather than retrofitting it later
LocationThis position will be hybrid with 3 days/week in our Oakville, office. (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday)
Compensation Range:$165,000 - $210,000 CAD
