Responsibilities:


Data Platform Architecture

• Define and maintain the target architecture of the data platform (ingest, storage, processing, serving, governance, observability).


• Design architecture based on Lakehouse / Medallion architecture with clearly defined layers and responsibilities.


• Establish architectural standards, patterns, and guardrails for platform and domain teams.


• Make key architectural decisions regarding technologies, integrations, and platform evolution.

Data Mesh & Domain Platform

• Ensure the platform architecture supports: autonomy of domain teams, the concept of Data Products and data contracts, scaling of Data Mesh initiatives across the organization, design the platform as an enabler, not a bottleneck for domains.

Security, Access & Compliance

• Design a security-by-design architecture, including:
  
  
  
  • data access control implemented at the data platform level,
  
  
  • segregation by layers and data scope,
  
  
  • standard access at table and view level,
  
  
  • column-level masking in special cases.
  
  


• Ensure the architecture complies with:
  
  
  
  • regulatory requirements,
  
  
  • compliance standards,
  
  
  • risk and audit requirements.
  
  

Collaboration with NN Group & Data Governance (Key Requirement)

• Closely collaborate with NN Group in terms of:
  
  
  
  • alignment of local architecture with group standards and reference data architecture,
  
  
  • adoption and local adaptation of centrally developed platform components (L1/L2),
  
  
  • participation in group-level architectural initiatives and decision forums.
  
  


• Work closely with Data Governance functions (locally and within the group), including:
  
  
  
  • embedding governance requirements into architecture (governance by design),
  
  
  • supporting metadata management, lineage, data quality, and access management,
  
  
  • co-defining standards for Data Products within the Data Mesh model.
  
  


• Act as a bridge between:
  
  
  
  • NN Group strategy and standards,
  
  
  • local business needs,
  
  
  • technical teams (Platform, Data Engineering, Security).
  
  

Technical Collaboration

• Work closely with:
  
  
  
  • Platform Engineers,
  
  
  • Data Engineers,
  
  
  • Data Architects / Data Modelers,
  
  
  • Security, Risk, and Compliance teams.
  
  


• Act as the design authority for platform and cross-domain solutions.

Requirements:


Experience & Technical Skills

• Minimum 7-10 years of experience in data platform architecture.


• Experience in designing cloud-based platforms (preferably Azure).


• Strong knowledge of:
  
  
  
  • Azure (networking, security, identity, cost management),
  
  
  • Azure Databricks,
  
  
  • data integration (batch & streaming),
  
  
  • Azure DevOps, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code.
  
  


• Experience with tools and concepts related to:
  
  
  
  • Data Governance and metadata management (e.g., Collibra),
  
  
  • data quality and observability.
  
  

Architectural Competencies

• Strong system thinking and long-term architectural mindset.


• Experience in balancing domain autonomy vs. central control.


• Deep understanding of non-functional requirements: security, performance, availability, cost.

Soft Skills:

• Ability to clearly communicate with both technical and business stakeholders (including senior management).


• Strong decision-making skills and ability to defend architectural decisions.


• Maturity in working within a complex, regulated corporate environment.


• English level: C1.
