Hi,
I would like to share an excellent opening Contact Senior Metadata Architect / Collibra Engineer do go through the details and kindly send me the updated resume.
Location : Washington, DC / NJ (Hybrid)
Type of Hire : Contract
Mode of interview : WebEx / Teams
Client : Genpact
3.1 About the role
You will own the metadata layer of this engagement end to end: reverse-engineering how the legacy catalog currently feeds Collibra, rebuilding that feed from a new source, and then writing the target-state design and decommissioning roadmap the client will build from in 2027.
This is deliberately a combined architect and engineer role. You will be in a Collibra API payload in the morning and in front of the client s architecture review board in the afternoon. It is a senior individual contributor position, not a people-management one.
3.2 What you will do
- Reconstruct the current metadata contract into Collibra mechanism, payload shape, frequency, volumes, error handling and reconciliation.
- Build a metric register: every profiling attribute captured today, mapped to the Collibra asset type and attribute it lands in, and to the specific governance control that consumes it. Separate what is load-bearing from what is decorative.
- Map the affected Collibra operating model asset types, domains, communities, relations and attributes.
- Build the Collibra side of the prototype so that existing governance workflows continue to function against a new profiling source.
- Assess Collibra s own profiling and Amazon S3 registration capability, including the AWS Glue dependency, and determine how much of the requirement it can carry.
- Evaluate Collibra s Databricks Unity Catalog integration via Edge as a target-state component.
- Author the target-state architecture and design document as a replicable pattern, not a one-off write-up.
- Author the migration roadmap, wave plan and platform decommissioning plan, aligned to the 2027 renewal decision.
- Agree acceptance criteria for functional equivalence with the client s governance team, and evidence them in the prototype comparison pack.
- Facilitate discovery workshops with the client s data governance, architecture and engineering teams.
3.3 What you need
- 8+ years in data governance, metadata management or data architecture, with recent hands-on delivery not advisory-only.
- Deep hands-on Collibra: operating model and asset model design, Collibra Edge, the Catalog REST and Import APIs, and enough of the workflow engine to trace what a metadata change triggers downstream.
- Demonstrable experience migrating from one metadata or catalog platform to another. Informatica EDC or Axon, Alation, IBM Information Governance Catalog, Talend, Waterline, Microsoft Purview or a bespoke platform all count. The legacy vendor does not matter; the migration pattern does.
- Proven ability to reverse-engineer an undocumented integration obtain a live payload, infer the contract, reproduce it. You will be asked for a specific example.
- Fluency in data profiling concepts (null counts, cardinality, uniqueness, density, selectivity, pattern inference, lexical bounds) and, more importantly, what each is actually used for in a governance control.
- Sensitive-data classification: classifier design, taxonomy mapping, precision and recall trade-offs, human-in-the-loop review.
- Working SQL and Python enough to build and debug an integration.
- Writing clear enough that the design document survives handover to a different team a year later, and presence enough to defend it at an architecture or security review board.
3.4 Nice to have
- Exposure to Pentaho Data Catalog, Waterline Data, or Hitachi Vantara catalog products.
- Financial services or other heavily regulated delivery experience.
- Databricks Unity Catalog literacy enough to hold a design conversation without translation.
- Experience decommissioning a governance platform, including audit and evidence considerations.
3.5 This role is not
A Collibra administrator post configuration alone will not reconstruct the contract. Nor a delivery or program management role. Nor a purely advisory architect role: roughly half of this is hands-on.
Thanks and Regards,
Abrar Shaikh
