(SENIOR) DATA ARCHITECT

Would you like to be a part of Recordly's story? Now is your chance! We’re looking for Data Architects, who are eager to help businesses capitalize on the opportunities data offers. Working at Recordly means you get to work with customers that truly want to make data their competitive edge. Based on your skills, impact, and experience, you'll join us as either a Data Architect, Senior Data Architect, or Lead Data Architect in line with our career framework.

“WHO/WHAT IS RECORDLY?” YOU MIGHT ASK

At Recordly, we believe data and AI are transforming the way businesses create value. While this transformation is already reshaping industries, many organizations are still searching for practical ways to realize its full potential. Our experienced data professionals help companies bridge that gap, turning data and AI into meaningful business outcomes.

Our mission is to define how humans and data co-operate. We want to support businesses in understanding the data they already have, the opportunities they’re not yet capturing, and how to use these to enhance strategic KPIs. Simultaneously, we aim to translate business requirements into actionable tasks for teams working with the data or related technologies. We work closely with our customers to make this happen.

Our expertise covers data engineering, data architectures, and data management as well as hands-on AI and ML solutions, GenAI applications, and agentic systems. Whether it’s real-time pipelines, enterprise ML platforms, or modern cloud ecosystems, we focus on solutions that are practical, scalable, and built for long-term value. We're tech-agnostic, but some of our most commonly used tools include Azure, GCP, AWS, Snowflake, dbt, and Databricks. In simple terms: we tech the heck out of data. What sets us apart is who we are and how we do it.

Our employee promise (besides offering engaging customer assignments, of course) includes the possibility of enjoying the company's success and shaping who we are and what we do together. We believe in being open about how the business is going and how our choices affect the bottom line. Take a look at our site to get to know us better!

NOW TO THE ROLE ITSELF

A Data Architect at Recordly typically works in tight cooperation with our customers within different assignments. Assignments vary and may sometimes even require hands-on work from time to time - meaning you may have to open up AWS/Azure/GCP Console and deploy some resources if needed or write some SQL lines when the Data Engineers are not around.

As we focus on creating actual business value by creating or utilizing for example data platforms, we value the following skills:

• Excellent communication skills both verbal and written, along with the ability to influence and demonstrate confidence in communications with senior-level management.

• Ability to understand and translate business requirements into data and technical requirements. - And we truly mean this. We want to be the glue, bridge, sellotape - whatever you want to call it - between the IT and business departments so that they understand each other.

• Ability to cope with ever-evolving technologies used in the data domain and simultaneously understand the business and engineering side of new data products. - Yes, we know this sounds awful. The data domain is moving 88 miles per hour, making it difficult for anyone to keep up with, for example, what Apache Foundation is releasing next month. Fear not, however, we will help you with this with our continuous learning opportunities and hackathons.

• Working knowledge of Agile development, including DevOps and DataOps concepts.

• Finnish and English skills as some of our projects are in Finnish.
  

Necessary technical skills:

• Experience in designing and building hands-on and running highly available, distributed systems of data extraction, ingestion, and processing of large data sets. - We don’t mind if your experience is also from on-premise systems, as we know that the scalability pains are even higher over there.

• Experience with data modeling, data warehousing, and building high-volume ETL/ELT pipelines. - If star schemas or Data Vault or Data Warehouse Automation are familiar words to you, you’ll be fine.

• Fluent with cloud infrastructure, especially the data side of the big three (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform) - We don’t expect you to be certified (we can help you with that), but work experience at least within one of the big three is needed.

• Understanding and/or experience with Data Lake infrastructure, Data Warehousing, and Data Analytics tools. - By this we mean, that you know what other tools (MDM, Data Catalogs, Data Lineage tools etc.) are needed for a good data platform and have some experience with those.
  

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
