We are technologists, designers, and strategists committed to leaving this world a better place than we found it. At IQZ Systems, we build technology solutions that empower our clients to optimize costs and identify new revenue streams. We develop solution accelerators that reduce delays in creating customer value. Using digital technologies (IoT, AI, Blockchain, Social, Mobile, Analytics), we build automation, data accessibility, and integration patterns to accelerate business outcomes.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, we have a strong international footprint with operations in India, Sri Lanka, and Luxembourg. Our core expertise lies in empowering organizations through three key service areas: Application Modernization, Modern Workplace solutions, and Data & Analytics.
About the role:
Lead enterprise data architecture, manage a team of data engineers/analysts, and run data operations — while ensuring the platform is governance-compliant and AI-ready.
Key responsibilities:
Architecture — Design and own the enterprise data strategy, models, and integration patterns (batch, streaming, CDC, APIs) across data lakes, warehouses, and lakehouse architectures.
Cloud — Architect on AWS, Azure, and/or GCP. Optimize for cost, resilience, and scale using IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep).
Governance — Enforce data quality, lineage, cataloging, classification, access controls, and compliance (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, SOX, PCI-DSS, EU AI Act).
AI/ML Readiness — Understand the ML lifecycle, feature stores, MLOps, LLMs, RAG, and vector databases. Architect platforms that data science teams can self-serve. You don't build models — you build the data foundation they run on.
Team — Hire, mentor, and grow a high-performing data team. Set goals, run reviews, drive collaboration across engineering, data science, product, and business.
Operations — Own pipeline reliability (99.5%+ uptime), SLAs, incident response, observability, DataOps, and vendor management.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
- 10+ years of experience in data architecture, with 3+ years successfully leading and mentoring high-performing teams with cross-functional influence
- Expert SQL & data modeling (Kimball, Data Vault, 3NF)
- Cloud platforms (AWS / Azure / GCP) — hands-on
- Data governance & regulatory compliance — proven track record
- AI/ML ecosystem — strong conceptual understanding
- Agile delivery experience
Good To Have:
- Cloud / data certifications (AWS SA, Azure DE, GCP PDE, Snowflake, CDMP)
- Data mesh / data fabric experience
- Regulated industry background (finance, healthcare, pharma)
- Exposure to GenAI data infrastructure (RAG, vector DBs, embeddings)
