Role you're checking

Data Architect

Technology

Data Architects design the enterprise-wide blueprint that governs how data is collected, stored, moved, governed, and consumed across an organisation's entire technology stack. Unlike Data Engineers who build individual pipelines or Data Modelers who own schema design for one domain, a Data Architect sets the principles — data mesh vs. centralised lakehouse, medallion vs. Data Vault, real-time vs. batch-first — and is accountable for those decisions compounding correctly over a 3-5 year horizon. In India, the role sits inside the data strategy functions of large BFSI players (HDFC Bank, SBI, ICICI, Kotak, HDFC Life), regulated industries demanding DPDP Act compliance (healthcare, fintech, insurance), product unicorns with petabyte-scale platforms (Flipkart, Swiggy, Zomato, PhonePe, Razorpay), and the GCCs of global firms (JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Walmart Global Tech, Microsoft, Google) where the India team owns globally critical data infrastructure. Entry into the role is nearly always through 7+ years of senior data engineering, data modeling, or data governance experience — pure junior hires are rare.
