New Permanent role in SINGAPORE : Enterprise Data Platform Architect – Master Data & Lakehouse Transformation (Banking, APAC)
I am looking for a Enterprise Data Platform Architect to lead the design, migration, and governance of next‑generation data platforms across APAC. This role is focused on platform architecture — building the foundational data, cloud, integration, and governance capabilities that power analytics, AI, and enterprise applications.
You'll drive the migration of legacy master data systems into a modern Databricks‑based lakehouse, shaping enterprise data strategy and influencing senior technology leadership across multiple markets.
What You Will Lead:
- Enterprise‑scale master data migration from legacy banking platforms into a modern lakehouse (Databricks, Delta Lake).
- End‑to‑end platform architecture across ingestion, pipelines, modelling, lineage, governance, and quality.
- Build and operationalise data lakehouse platforms (Delta Lake, Iceberg, Hudi) and cloud‑native data services.
- Define data platform blueprints, standards, and reference architectures across business and technology domains.
- Regional architecture delivery across Thailand, Korea, Japan, Myanmar, India, Philippines.
Why This Role Stands Out:
- APAC‑wide platform ownership with strategic influence across multiple markets.
- Combination of greenfield platform build, cloud transformation, and enterprise‑grade governance.
- High visibility with C‑suite, CTO, CIO, and cross‑functional technology leaders.
- Opportunity to define long‑term data platform strategy, MDM architecture, and lakehouse adoption for a major bank.
Experience We're Looking For (1–4 essential, 5–6 highly valued):
- Hands‑on modern data platform architecture experience — Azure with Databricks strongly preferred.
- Experience designing streaming and batch data processing pipelines.
- Data security, data governance, and data quality.
- Data modelling skills and experience.
- Platform monitoring / disaster recovery (DR) experience.
- Semantic layer design.
What You Bring:
- 10+ years in enterprise., data platform architecture / data engineering within BFSI or large‑scale enterprise environments.
- Proven experience migrating master data from legacy banking systems to modern platforms.
- Deep knowledge of lakehouse architectures, distributed data design, and modern data platform patterns.
- Strong hands‑on Azure Databricks capability essential — Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, governance, pipelines, ML.
- Broad enterprise architecture skills across API integration, application architecture, cloud services, and data pipelines.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder influence skills.
Nice to Have:
- TOGAF or equivalent Enterprise Architecture certification.
