Role Overview 


Integrella is seeking an experienced Data Architect to design and govern modern, enterprise-scale data platforms for finance, accounting and multiple domains. This role requires deep expertise across the Microsoft Azure data stack and Microsoft Fabric, with a focus on building well-modelled, well-governed, and audit-ready data foundations for financial and regulatory use cases. 

You will define enterprise data architecture, data lake and data warehouse design, and establish governance, master data, and BI standards that turn complex ERP, Payroll and financial data into trusted, decision-ready assets for global clients. 


Key Responsibilities

  • Develop enterprise data quality, validation, reconciliation, and observability frameworks to ensure trusted, auditable, and high-quality data. 
  • Define enterprise standards for Power BI Semantic Models, Direct Lake, Row-Level Security (RLS), data sharing, and Business Intelligence governance. 
  • Design secure, scalable, and resilient data platforms with a strong focus on security, privacy, performance, disaster recovery, and cost optimisation. 
  • Collaborate with Integration Architects to establish API-first and event-driven data integration patterns across enterprise platforms. 
  • Enable AI-ready data platforms by designing architectures that support Azure AI, Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI Search, vector databases, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions. 
  • Define enterprise data lifecycle management, including ingestion, transformation, storage, retention, archival, and regulatory compliance. 
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and provide strategic recommendations to evolve the organisation's modern data platform capabilities. 
  • Define enterprise data storage strategies across relational (SQL), NoSQL, graph, time-series, and object storage technologies, ensuring the appropriate database platform is selected based on scalability, performance, consistency, and business requirements. 
  • Define data partitioning, indexing, sharding, replication, caching, and disaster recovery strategies to optimise platform performance, availability, and scalability. 
  • Establish enterprise standards for database security, encryption, backup and recovery, data retention, and performance monitoring across SQL and NoSQL platforms. 
  • Provide architectural guidance on polyglot persistence, ensuring the most appropriate data storage technology is selected for each business capability and workload.
