<div>Description Job Description Summary We are seeking an exceptional Senior Google Cloud Data Architect who is passionate about building world class, cloud native data platforms and data services that power the enterprise. This is not a generic architect role - it is a high influence, high ownership opportunity to help define how a modern financial institution designs, scales, and operates data platforms on Google Cloud, with a strong focus on enabling data as a product and data as a service capabilities. You will play a key role in evolving our platforms to support not only analytics and operational workloads, but also emerging AI and intelligent application patterns that depend on high-quality, well-governed, and accessible data. If you're excited by complex engineering challenges, modern GCP data capabilities, and shaping how data platforms evolve to support the next generation of intelligent systems, we want to meet you. Job Description Join us as a Senior Google Data Architect and help shape the future of our enterprise data services ecosystem. In this high impact role, you'll leverage Google Cloud to design and deliver scalable, secure, and reusable data platforms and APIs that fuel analytics, real-time processing, and enterprise integration. You will define how data is ingested, processed, governed, and exposed across the organization, enabling consistent and reliable access to trusted data. In parallel, you will help extend these platforms to support AI/ML and emerging agent-driven use cases, ensuring our data foundation is fully prepared to power intelligent applications and automated decisioning in a controlled, enterprise-ready manner.
