GCP Data Architect - Contract

Reference: 290426ER_1777463389

GCP Data Architect

It's been a while since I have seen an exciting greenfield project come up and this role is a critical hire for an architectural leadership requiring a blend of strategic thinking, hands‑on design, and strong stakeholder engagement.

This engagement begins with a design‑led phase, defining the future‑state architecture, establishing governance frameworks, and laying the foundations for a scalable, enterprise-grade data capability.

As the leading Data Architect, you will lead the end‑to‑end design of the target data platform to define architecture, data models, and a clear migration strategy from onprem to GCP.

Expectations for this role

  • Define the targetstate, cloudnative data architecture
  • Redesign legacy schemas into modern, scalable structures
  • Promote data standardisation and consistency across domains
  • Contribute to platform proof‑of‑concept activities
  • Define the strategy for migrating data from legacy systems
  • Define data governance frameworks and best practices
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory and organisational requirements

Desired Experience

  • Experience working on a greenfield migration, ideally from onprem to GCP
  • Experience designing endtoend data architectures
  • Governance, security, and compliance frameworks
  • Experience working in regulated or complex enterprise environments
  • Exposure to legacy modernisation initiatives

Note: Hybrid this is one day on site a week in Dublin City Centre.
