Data Architect

Does this sound like you?You are an engineer or an architect with a lot of interest in/experience with data. You know your way in the cloud; keep your knowledge up to date by watching webinars and visiting conferences. You don’t mind getting your hands dirty but have an analytical mindset that allows you to clearly define the root of a problem. And, then by mapping this problem to a new or existing cloud data platform, you come up with one or more approaches. All while keeping in mind that this change needs to be maintained for the foreseeable future, and hence you balance complexity. The tools you use are Word, PowerPoint, and an IDE. Making sure that the overall solution is well documented, easily explainable to the board, but also clearly defined into code building blocks.How you will help to create value with Data & AIAt Xebia Data, we build strong Data & AI practices to deliver value to our clients and their customers.
