Create solutions, inspire your team, keep learning.

Are you a data architect with experience in developing data platforms in Azure Cloud who thinks beyond architecture? At Blenddata, you help your customers in their data architecture challenges; from your experience, you make an impact by casting your critical eye over existing architecture, or by thinking along in the setup of new architecture. You are involved in every aspect of the process: from the first strategic sessions with the customer to the delivery of future-proof, scalable solutions. You effortlessly bridge the gap between business and technology, and bring colleagues and customers into your vision.

What does a Data Architect do at Blenddata?

As a Data Architect, you develop the blueprint for the infrastructure for projects at clients such as Damen Shipyards, Nationale-Nederlanden and De Lage Landen. You design the architecture based on your past experience and your research. You are the mastermind behind the infrastructure your fellow Data Engineers put in place at the customer’s site. You think up integration patterns, talk to the client’s architects and engineers to understand their needs and are the point of contact for the overview of the technical solution.

By combining a strong technical base with the ability to keep an overview, you understand the complexity of an enterprise landscape. As a result, you bridge the gap between management and development teams and know how to firmly advise product owners and fellow architects. You work according to proven frameworks such as TOGAF and DMBOK and have an eye for subjects like security, governance and compliance. Within your frameworks, platform and data engineers can build a Champions League-level data platform.
