About the Senior Data Architect Role at Robert Half

Robert Half is thrilled to present an exceptional opportunity for a Senior Data Architect in Troy, Michigan. This full-time position is perfect for seasoned professionals passionate about designing and optimizing modern cloud-based data platforms that power advanced analytics and AI/ML initiatives. As a leader in technology staffing, Robert Half connects top talent with innovative companies seeking expertise in Snowflake, Azure, and cutting-edge data engineering practices. If you have 8+ years of experience in data architecture and a track record of building scalable data solutions, this role offers the chance to drive transformative projects in a dynamic environment.

In this pivotal role, you'll architect robust data ecosystems that support business intelligence, machine learning models, and real-time analytics. Leveraging tools like Snowflake, DBT, Fivetran, and Azure Data Services, you'll ensure data platforms are not only performant but also compliant with industry standards, including HIPAA for healthcare-related applications. Join a forward-thinking team in Troy, MI, where your expertise in Data Vault 2.0, Medallion Architecture, and dimensional modeling will make a tangible impact on organizational goals.

Why This Role Stands Out in Troy, MI

Troy, Michigan, is a hub for technology and innovation, particularly in the automotive and healthcare sectors. Working with Robert Half means gaining access to premium clients who invest heavily in cloud-native data solutions. This Senior Data Architect position is tailored for those excited by AI/ML integrations, such as Snowflake Cortex and Azure AI Studio, and ready to tackle complex challenges like data lineage, observability, and governance.

Key Responsibilities

As a Senior Data Architect, your contributions will be central to our client's data strategy. Here's what you'll do daily:

• Develop comprehensive conceptual, logical, and physical data models to support enterprise-wide analytics.
• Define and enforce data architecture standards, governance practices, and best practices for data management.
• Build and optimize feature stores and datasets specifically for AI/ML workloads, seamlessly integrating with Snowflake Cortex and Azure AI Studio.
• Lead the end-to-end design of data platforms utilizing Snowflake as the core, alongside DBT for transformations, Fivetran for ingestion, and Azure Data Services for orchestration.
• Drive implementation of data quality frameworks, lineage tracking, and observability tools to ensure reliability and trustworthiness of data assets.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders, including data scientists, engineers, and business leaders, to align technical architecture with strategic business objectives.

These responsibilities demand a proactive approach, where you'll mentor junior team members and champion modern practices like infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines for data deployments.

Required Qualifications

To excel in this Senior Data Architect role, you need a strong technical foundation and relevant experience:

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in data architecture, data engineering, or related fields.
• Deep expertise in Snowflake, including advanced modeling techniques for analytics and AI/ML workloads.
• Proven experience with Data Vault 2.0, Medallion Architecture, and dimensional modeling methodologies.
• Hands-on proficiency with DBT, Python scripting, and orchestration tools such as Airflow or Azure Data Factory.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform), and data governance frameworks.
• Familiarity with healthcare compliance regulations like HIPAA; experience with Durable Medical Equipment (DME) is highly desirable.

Additional strengths include knowledge of cloud ecosystems (Azure, Snowflake), data observability platforms (e.g., Monte Carlo), and feature engineering for machine learning. A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field is preferred, along with relevant certifications like Snowflake SnowPro or Azure Data Engineer Associate.
