We are seeking a Senior Solution Architect with deep experience designing and delivering enterprise-scale big data, streaming, and real-time data integration solutions.
The role is focused on solution architecture across Cloudera-based big data platforms, Kafka-based streaming applications, and real-time data integration - analytics solutions, including cloud-hosted data platforms such as Cloudera on AWS or equivalent AWS-native services. The successful candidate must have a strong architecture background and be comfortable operating across both solution design and hands-on technical delivery.
Key responsibilities of the role:
- Own the end-to-end solution architecture for large-scale distributed data, streaming, and data integration solutions. Design solutions across Cloudera CDH/CDP, data lakes, operational data stores, event streaming platforms, and real-time data pipelines. Architect and document solutions using technologies such as Hive, Impala, HBase, Spark, NiFi, Flink, Kafka, and equivalent AWS services.
- Design Kafka-based streaming applications, including event ingestion, topic design, consumer patterns, error handling, replay, scalability, and resilience. Define solution patterns for Spring Kafka consumers, ingestion into HBase, and consumption through Spring Boot / API-based services.
- Provide architecture leadership across data ingestion, streaming integration, transformation, storage, APIs, and downstream consumption. Work with engineering teams to ensure solutions are deliverable, scalable, secure, supportable, and aligned to enterprise architecture principles. Review technical designs produced by engineering teams and ensure alignment with the approved solution architecture.
- Identify technical risks, dependencies, assumptions, non-functional requirements, and design trade-offs. Support delivery planning by helping break solutions into iterative delivery increments and sprint-level outcomes.
- Engage with business stakeholders, programme teams, enterprise architects, engineering leads, and governance forums. Build, represent and own solution designs (Architecture Summaries and High Level Designs) to architecture review boards and senior technical stakeholders where required.
- Develop and promote architectural patterns, best practices, and engineering standards across big data, streaming, integration, APIs, and cloud-based data platforms.
- 10+ years’ overall IT experience, with significant experience in data platform, integration, or distributed systems delivery.
- 5+ years’ experience in solution architecture, technical architecture, or lead design roles.
- 2+ years’ experience architecting streaming or real-time data applications, preferably using Kafka or equivalent event streaming technologies.
- Proven experience designing solutions on Cloudera CDH/CDP or equivalent big data platforms.
- Strong demonstrable experience with some of the distributed data technologies (if not all) such as: HBase; Spark; NiFi; Kafka; Flink; Hive; Impala
- Experience with Kafka consumer architecture, including consumer groups, offsets, retries, dead-letter handling, ordering, partitioning, and scalability.
- Strong understanding of non-functional requirements including performance, scalability, resilience, security, observability, and operational support.
- Craft your own career path through continuous learning and personal growth
- Our commitment to maintain high ethical standards ensuring Diversity, Sustainability and Inclusion in our business practises
- Be a part of our professional communities role framework which promotes professional growth, career development and enhances Sogeti’s capabilities across different domains
