Your Mission

As a Senior Enterprise Cloud Architect at SADA, with a specialization in Data and Analytics you will have significant knowledge and experience with “everything data.” You will have held different roles throughout your extensive career enabling you to work with many different technologies and industries.

As part of your role, you will collaborate with various teams, including customers, engineering, sales, and Googlers.

You will be responsible for overseeing Data & Analytics projects for large and intricate client engagements, sometimes acting as our “account CTO.”

You’ll provide estimations and work on Statements of Work (SOW) and related supporting material.

You will design world class data-architectures and solve hard problems.

You will have a hands-on approach, researching and presenting solutions, conducting experiments, and building prototypes to validate ideas and demonstrate the effectiveness of the solutions you recommend. You will also, at times, spearhead the development of projects and lead other engineers to deliver on your vision.

SADA is a services-focused company and you will have the opportunity to support customers spanning every industry--including gaming, logistics, financial, retail and SaaS--each with different use cases and objectives. You will obtain a breadth of skills and experience unparalleled at other companies.

What you would be doing on a daily basis:

• Work on different types of projects in various stages of development, including pre-sales/scoping,  discovery, and architecting solutions
• Oversee executing projects that could be greenfield data warehouse implementations, database re-platforming, consolidating data, to migrating data warehouses to GCP
• Prototype Proof of Concepts for customer/team feedback
• Quality-Review solutions delivered by other engineers on the project
• Deliver hands-on technical mentoring and leadership to engineers on the project, especially when using niche architectural patterns. Keep the communication channels with the client transparent to update on progress, gather feedback, and evaluate opportunities.
• Assist the Project Managers and Clients in making high-impact decisions to improve the quality/time-to-market of the delivery where relevant.
• Shepherd high-impact PRs and changes to the required environments to extract client feedback as early as possible

 

Pathway to Success 

Your super-power will be in helping customers understand specifically how Google Cloud technology can fundamentally solve their business challenges with technology, enabling them to meet their goals. 
You will inspire cross-functional leadership from our engineering teams. You will be trusted to guide large enterprise engagements and given the freedom to build new solutions that meet customer needs.

You will establish yourself as a renowned specialist within SADA, earning a reputation with customers and with the Google Cloud sales and professional services teams for your wide-ranging domain knowledge. Other engineers and architects will routinely defer to your expertise when it comes to the delivery of project architectures. In your role, you'll manage client-oriented technical conversations.
