• Architect ingestion and processing pipelines feeding the matching capability.
• Align resolved entity data with Bronze, Silver and Gold medallion architecture layers.
• Define supporting AWS infrastructure across services.
• Apply Terraform and infrastructure-as-code principles to support consistent deployments.
• Embed data-quality and governance controls around matching outcomes.
• Work with Databricks Unity Catalog to secure, govern and audit resolved entity data.
• Ensure the architecture meets relevant data-protection and information-assurance requirements.
• Act as the technical authority for MDM and matching integration decisions.
• Collaborate with data engineers, platform architects, governance specialists and senior stakeholders.

Essential Experience

• At least five years' experience in solution architecture across data or integration platforms.
• Hands-on experience with IBM Match 360, IBM Big Match or comparable MDM and entity-resolution tooling.
• Strong understanding of data matching, standardisation, entity resolution and survivorship.
• Experience defining and creating data products and data contracts.
• Strong AWS experience, including S3, IAM, VPC and Glue.
• Experience integrating MDM capabilities with a Databricks Lakehouse environment.
• Knowledge of Databricks Unity Catalog and data-governance controls.
• Experience designing scalable data pipelines and integration architecture.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex architectural concepts clearly.
