As Data Architect, you provide architectural guidance for the group-wide data architecture and the data-mesh operating model. You turn "domain ownership and trusted data products" into a working standard the RWE Operating Companies actually adopt.

About the role

• Define and maintain the federated data-mesh reference architecture and the few must-follow interoperability standards (identifiers, core field names, metadata).
• Set the data-product standard (owner, contract, quality, documentation) and the reusable blueprint together with our RWE business units.
• Design the shared data-product catalogue / marketplace and the lakehouse architecture; define how domains publish and consume.
• Support domains in defining boundaries (including cross-org domains) and mapping owners.
• Keep choices model-/cloud-agnostic and exit-ready; input to vendor consolidation.

Job requirements and experience

• University degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Information Technology or related field.
• Several years of hands-on working experience in Data architecture and Data mesh design in a regulated decentral environment.
• Deep data architecture and modelling skills as well as proven knowledge of data-mesh / data-product design at scale.
• Firm with Databricks / Unity Catalog, plus Fabric or Snowflake; lakehouse and open table formats.
• Experience in Metadata, cataloguing and interoperability standards.
• Ability to build strong influence and enablement across federated business units.

Advantageous, but not essential

• Experience in the "Energy-sector data context" is a plus.
