Senior Teradata Architect

We are looking for a Senior Teradata Architect for our Fortune 500 client and their banking client. We're looking for a hands-on architect with deep experience designing and delivering enterprise data warehouse solutions on Teradata, ideally within the Teradata Financial Services Data Model and an Inmon-style integrated EDW. The role combines solution architecture, governance, and stakeholder alignment with real hands-on work. Roughly 50% of the role is hands-on: SQL investigation, detailed data analysis, solution validation, and delivery support. This is not a purely strategic architecture position. This is a long-term remote-first contract position in the EU with occasional on-site participation in client workshops. Responsibilities - Own and support data architecture design for enterprise data warehouse delivery. - Analyse source data, data flows, business requirements, and downstream consumption needs. - Perform Teradata SQL investigation, detailed technical analysis, and solution validation. - Work with business stakeholders, domains, engineers, testers, delivery leads, and peer architects to resolve queries and align on solution direction. - Assess design options and recommend pragmatic, scalable, standards-aligned solutions. - Produce and maintain architecture artefacts: High Level Designs, Architecture Design Decisions, solution options, design rationale, assumptions, risks, and governance-ready packs. - Present designs and recommendations to Architecture Boards and governance forums to secure alignment and approval. - Embed data governance, metadata, lineage, controls, reconciliation, auditability, privacy, and regulatory compliance into solution design, including metadata-driven delivery frameworks. - Support delivery teams through build, testing, implementation, and issue resolution. Work Conditions - Start Date: October - Location: Remote in the EU - Long-term contract-based role: PO till December 2026 with extension to 2027
