Data Lake Architect II

At arrivia
, we believe travel has the power to transform lives. To deliver world‑class travel experiences to our millions of members, we need a world‑class data foundation. We are looking for a Data Lake Architect II to be the visionary behind our next‑generation cloud data platform.

You won't just be managing data; you’ll be architecting the engine that powers our enterprise‑scale AI, machine learning, and real‑time analytics. If you are passionate about turning raw data into "travel magic" using the latest Azure and Lakehouse technologies, we want to talk to you.

• Architect the Vision: Design end‑to‑end data lake solutions (batch and streaming) that handle structured and unstructured data at scale.
• Build for Intelligence: Implement optimized storage layers and feature stores specifically designed to supercharge our Data Science team’s ML workloads.
• Engineer Flow: Construct high‑performance ingestion pipelines using Spark, Databricks, Kafka, and Flink
  .
• Drive Innovation: Lead the transition toward Lakehouse architectures (Delta Lake/Iceberg) and explore cutting‑edge tech like Vector Databases for RAG
  .
• Master the Cloud: Act as the primary authority for Azure architecture decisions, ensuring our compute strategy is serverless, scalable, and cost‑efficient.
• Govern with Excellence: Define the frameworks for metadata, lineage, and data quality that ensure our data is trusted and secure.

We are looking for a technical leader who is as comfortable in a deep‑dive coding session as they are presenting a strategy to stakeholders.

• Azure Mastery: 3+ years of dedicated Azure architecture experience (6+ years in IT overall).
• The Toolbox: Deep expertise in Azure Data Lake, Synapse, Databricks
  , and Big Data frameworks (Spark, Trino, or Flink).
• ML Ops Mindset: Experience operationalizing models via MLflow, Vertex AI, or Sage Maker
  .
• Modern Patterns: Proven success with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), CI/CD (Azure Dev Ops), and distributed systems.
• Communication: The ability to translate complex technical "hows" into clear business "whys."
• Certification: Ideally, you hold an Azure Solutions Architect Expert or Azure Data Engineer Associate certification.

We’re a global powerhouse born from the merger of ICE, SOR Technology, and WMPH Vacations. We combine 55 years of stability with the agility of a tech innovator.

• Stay Curious: We give you the space to learn, grow, and experiment with generative AI and new data patterns.
• Win Together: We thrive on a culture of connection and inclusion.
• Travel Perks: We’re in the travel business—we want you to experience the world!
• Work Your Way: Enjoy a flexible environment (Remote/WFH) with a team that trusts your expertise.

If you’re a builder who wants to own the architecture and see your work impact millions of travelers, apply today and let’s build the future of travel together.
