•    Strong experience in data platform and database architecture, including enterprise-scale data platform design.
•    Experience with migration-oriented target architecture design, aligned to a broader cloud migration strategy.
•    Solid familiarity with lakehouse and medallion architecture patterns, in particular architectures built on Apache Iceberg and S3 tables.
•    A track record of designing for governance, standardisation, scalability and industrialisation.
•    The ability to produce target architectures, standards and blueprints, and to contribute to implementation roadmap definition.
•    Client- and business-oriented, with strong planning and organisation skills.
