Data Architect
About Hubexo:
We provide data, insights, and software solutions to the global construction industry. We specialise in project information, eTendering, product information, market intelligence, and specification. We help the world build better by delivering unrivalled insights and technology that shape places where people live, work and play.
Your Role
As a Data Architect within the Content Tech Tribe, your primary purpose is to define and govern the data architecture that powers Hubexo’s global content lifecycle. You will transform our project data into a well-defined, consistent, and accessible strategic asset, creating the foundational blueprint for the new event-driven collaborative system and other services built by the tribe.
This role is pivotal in shaping how Hubexo leverages data. You will lead the design of conceptual, logical, and physical data models that define the data contracts for our new systems, guiding both API developers and data migration strategies to ensure the integrity and quality of our data ecosystem.
This is what you'll be doing
- Design, develop, and govern the global data model for our content, ensuring it is scalable, consistent, and performant.
- Lead data migration and mapping initiatives, ensuring a seamless and accurate transition of data from legacy systems.
- Create and enforce standards for data attributes and metadata, building a comprehensive data dictionary as a single source of truth.
- Establish frameworks for data quality, data governance, and data lineage tracking to ensure data provenance and trust.
- Architect data structures that enable advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning initiatives.
- Collaborate with Solution Architects and API development teams to define robust data contracts and schemas for our GraphQL and REST APIs.
- Implement data governance and security policies in partnership with security teams to ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR.
