You’re not just passionate about data platforms—you know how to build them from scratch, navigate technical challenges, and inspire others to follow your vision. If you’re looking to take the lead on a pioneering cloud data transformation project within a dynamic and growing tech-driven environment, then this might be your next move.
For our client, we are seeking a Lead Platform Architect (Data & Cloud) to shape and scale a modern enterprise data platform from the ground up. This role combines strategic influence with hands-on implementation and offers the opportunity to work in a high-impact, forward-looking environment. You’ll join a growing and motivated team, supported by a clear roadmap, strong executive backing, and the freedom to turn ideas into robust, future-ready solutions.
Key Responsibilitites
* Design and lead the architecture of an enterprise-scale data platform using Azure and Snowflake, aligned with business and project goals
* Drive cloud transformation by migrating legacy on-prem systems to modern, high-performing cloud-based solutions
* Balance a strategic mindset with hands-on contribution to actively shape solutions for defined use cases
* Collaborate closely with data engineers, analysts, business stakeholders, and internal cloud teams to close technical gaps and deliver value
* Implement strong data governance and security standards while mentoring a young, diverse team and promoting a culture of ownership and best practices
* Ensure architectural alignment through meaningful contributions to the IT architecture board and staying current with emerging technologies
Your Skills and Mindset
* Academic degree in computer science, engineering or similar
* 5+ years of experience designing and operating cloud-based data platforms, ideally in consulting or finance-tech environments
* Demonstrated strength in building platforms from scratch and guiding teams through on-premises to cloud transformation journeys
* Hands-on expertise with Azure, Snowflake, Azure Data Factory, Terraform, Python, and DevOps tools
* Strong communication and leadership skills to align diverse stakeholders, resolve conflicts constructively, and mentor development teams by fostering growth, aligning opinions, and promoting best practices
* Business Fluent in English; German is a plus
You’ll join a collaborative environment with flat hierarchies, where initiative and ownership are truly valued. In this strategic yet hands-on role, you’ll help shape the future of the data platform and collaborate across business, engineering, and architecture. In addition to meaningful work, you’ll benefit from flexible working models, professional development, wellbeing support, and co-investment opportunities. Ready to take ownership and make a lasting impact?
Janine Wyler looks forward to receiving your application documents and will be in touch with you shortly.
