You will be leading, planning, guiding and verifying architecture in every step of the value chain.

Being Cloud first, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is our cloud of choice, but the characteristic of our business also leads to a significant footprint on Azure and Alibaba Cloud. You will be part of enterprise architecture but also collaborate with the data management teams.

- Define target Architecture and transitional stages.
- Strategy, to roadmap, to backlog, to execution for short term, midterm and long-term goals.
- Data Mesh or DW/BI architecture.
- Data integration patterns in a multi-cloud, multiregional, multi-legislative context.
- Communicating effectively across organizational, business, and technical boundaries.
- Guiding teams and making data architecture recommendations with business focus.
- Agile development practices.
- Architectural frameworks and paradigms, e.g. TOGAF, DAMA.
- Data formats, ACID, CAP Theorem, Retention & Data growth.
- Data pipelines, data transformation, data partitioning, SQL.

Most importantly you share and live the IKEA culture and values.

Your responsibilities

As part of the Data Architecture team in Group Digital you will be part of defining and implementing data principles, standards, and the end-to-end Data & Information Reference Architecture. This specific role will be embedded in the [XYZ Domain] supporting the implementation of our data capabilities and helping design their digital & data products.

Your main responsibilities are to:

- As a domain architect your focus lies in your domain, but you will contribute to the practice with cross domain deliverables like Reference Architecture, Standards Rules and Guidelines, Architecture Decision Records and Decision Trees.
- Promote and support the implementation of the Data Mesh architectural pattern as part of the Ingka Data Strategy to enable effective & robust data sharing within the organization, adhering to the Data Architecture Principles, jointly with other architecture disciplines.
- Ensure that best Data Architecture practices are employed by the digital teams, facilitating the achievement of the digital business goals.
- Design and maintain Conceptual and Logical Data models for digital & data products within your sub-domain.
- Discover and pursue the creation of robust Data Products in the Data Mesh.
- Collaborate with Enterprise and Digital Data Management.
- Analyze, design, roadmap and prioritize initiatives with Product Owners and Engineering managers.
- Drive, create, document, and follow up on architectural decisions.
- Lead and bring direction for the high-level data landscape including data flow diagrams of the domain/sub-domain.
- Guide engineering teams with regards to the data to optimize cost and performance.
