Role Overview:

The Database Architect & Strategy Lead will assess our current homegrown data operations and model, then architect and execute a transformation to best-in-class modern data infrastructure. This role requires someone who can bridge the gap between where we are today and where we need to be—evaluating existing systems, designing the future state, and creating a practical roadmap that delivers incremental value at every step. You'll lead the transition from custom-built tooling to industry-standard platforms like dbt, modern orchestration frameworks, and cloud-native data services, while ensuring reliability and scalability improve continuously throughout the journey. The role will also directly address the client-stated Core Stability need around MongoDB and MongoDB Atlas: improving uptime, performance, scalability, data modeling, and architecture decisions across Azure with some AWS exposure.

This isn't a typical greenfield architect...
