EU remote
Data Architect (Spanish-speaking)
About this role
N-iX is a global software engineering and technology services company, building solutions for clients since 2002. Our teams work across Europe, the Americas, and Asia for Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing businesses in finance, retail, manufacturing, telecom, healthcare, and more. Our Data & Analytics practice designs and delivers modern data platforms on Snowflake, Databricks, Azure and AWS, from first assessment to production at scale.
About the role We are looking for a Spanish-speaking Data Architect to lead the design of cloud data platforms for our clients. You will own the target architecture end-to-end, work directly with client stakeholders in Spanish, and guide engineering teams through delivery. The role mixes hands-on technical leadership with consulting: you will shape solutions in pre-sales, run discovery workshops, and stay accountable for architecture quality once the project is live.
Responsibilities Design end-to-end data architectures on Snowflake and/or Databricks, deployed on Azure and/or AWS: ingestion, storage, processing, serving and consumption layers. Define lakehouse and data warehouse patterns (medallion architecture, data vault, dimensional models) and choose the right one for each use case. Lead migrations from legacy platforms (on-prem DWH, Hadoop, Teradata, Oracle, SQL Server) to the cloud, including assessment, roadmap and cutover plan.
Set standards for data modelling, pipeline design, CI/CD, infrastructure as code and environment strategy. Design data governance, security and compliance: access control, data lineage, cataloguing (Unity Catalog, Snowflake Horizon, Purview), GDPR and local LATAM privacy laws. Optimise platform cost and performance (warehouse sizing, cluster policies, FinOps practices). Run discovery workshops and architecture reviews with client business and technical stakeholders, in Spanish and English.
Support pre-sales: solution design, effort estimates, technical sections of proposals and client presentations. Mentor data engineers and review their designs and code; act as the technical point of escalation on the project. Prepare data foundations for BI, advanced analytics, ML and GenAI use cases. Requirements 8+ years in data engineering or data platforms, including 3+ years as a Data or Solution Architect. Hands-on production experience with Snowflake and/or Databricks (at least one in depth).
