Job Description:

We are seeking a Senior Data Architect with expertise in AWS, FinOps, and Power BI candidate.

This role will be responsible for designing and setting up the foundational reporting and financial analytics environment in alignment with FinOps best practices.

Once the initial architecture and data environment are established, the ongoing development of dashboards will transition to the Visualization PODs. A small portion of this resource's time will be reserved post-handoff to support the Data Engineering team in case any setup issues arise during early development.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement scalable data architecture on AWS, including data lakes, data pipelines, and warehousing solutions using services such as S3, Glue, Redshift, Athena, and Lambda.
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards to visualize cloud usage, financial performance, KPIs, and operational insights across teams.
  • Collaborate with DevOps, Finance, Engineering, and Business Units to align data solutions with business goals and cost efficiency.
  • Define and maintain data governance, security, and compliance practices within the AWS environment.
  • Translate complex data concepts into simple, clear insights for business and executive stakeholders.
  • Evaluate new tools and technologies to enhance the cloud data platform and reporting capabilities.
  • Lead FinOps initiatives to monitor, optimize, and report on cloud spend; develop cost allocation strategies, forecasting models, and budget tracking dashboards.
  • Architect and implement scalable, secure data environments in AWS aligned with FinOps principles.
  • Design data pipelines and frameworks to support financial operations and cost optimization reporting.
  • Establish data models and connections for Power BI dashboard integration.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Data Engineering, Visualization PODs, and FinOps stakeholders to define reporting requirements.
  • Lead the setup of metadata repositories, tagging strategies, and usage tracking mechanisms for cost visibility.
  • Ensure best practices in cloud spend optimization, cost allocation, and budget forecasting are built into the design.
  • Document environment architecture and provide onboarding materials for Visualization teams.
  • Provide limited ongoing support post-handoff to ensure a smooth transition and address any environment-related issues.

Required Qualifications:

  • 7+ years of experience in data architecture or engineering roles.
  • Proven experience with AWS architecture (S3, Redshift, Athena, Glue, etc.).
  • Strong hands-on experience with FinOps principles and cloud cost optimization strategies.
  • Proficiency in Power BI and understanding of visualization-ready data modeling.
  • Experience designing environments intended for long-term scalability and team handoff.
  • Excellent documentation and stakeholder communication skills.
