[5220] Data Architect

GardPass Consulting & Space
Finland · Contract · Mid-Senior

Customer: European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)

Location: Helsinki, Finland

Start Date: ASAP

Duration: 165 Days

Service Delivery: Near site (two days per week onsite)

CV: Europass

Requirements:

  • At least 5 years of experience as a data architect / senior data engineer performing below key tasks.
  • An excellent command of the English language, corresponding to at least level C1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
  • The ability to clearly communicate, draft documents, and actively participate in meetings and presentations in English is essential.


Key Tasks:

  • Drive the design of a scalable data architecture aligned with ECHA’s enterprise architecture and supporting a federated, domain-oriented data mesh approach. ECHA’s data landscape is characterised by moderate-volume, complex scientific and regulatory data, rather than high-volume time-series or transactional data. The architect must account for the semantic richness, traceability, and governance requirements inherent to this type of data.
  • Direct the development of domain-level data products, ensuring they are discoverable, interoperable, secure, and aligned with business capabilities.
  • Advise and oversee the implementation of robust data integration pipelines using Azure services such as Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, and Azure Synapse Analytics, enabling decentralized data ownership and cross-domain data sharing.
  • Contribute to FinOps practices by designing data architectures and pipelines that optimise cloud resource usage and cost efficiency across Azure data services.
  • Influence data modelling standards to support advanced analytics, reporting, and AI/ML initiatives on the Azure platform.
  • Contribute to the development of data governance, metadata management, and data cataloguing practices using tools like Microsoft Purview, ensuring traceability, lineage, and compliance with EU regulations.
  • Ensure data quality, availability, and security by collaborating with cybersecurity and infrastructure teams, embedding protection and privacy controls into all architectural artefacts.
  • Support the evolution of ECHA’s data strategy by advocating for product thinking in data delivery and promoting architecture patterns that align with cloud-native and data mesh principles.
