Hey, Data Architect. Are you ready to change the world of supply chain forever? Nice to meet you, we are Faber LABS. A brand-new division of Faber Group that is launched to digitalize our load carrier business models.  With endless possibilities to make supply chains more sustainable, transparent, and efficient, but above all future-proof, we need your engineering and problem-solving skills to achieve our goals. Ready to take on the challenge? 

Who you are

Your role as Data Architect 
Maybe you noticed, but we have big ambitions. So you, as a Data Architect, will play a critical role in ensuring we reach our goals. It is critical for the entire business that the ingoing & outgoing flows are set up in a robust way, that data is properly monitored & governed, and that we have a proper harmonized data model. You will make sure that we have a well-designed & well-functioning data platform set up that contains data from all our divisions centralized in one place. This role requires both conceptual thinking and hands-on work; you will take the lead in devising the plan but will also implement it together with your colleagues.

What you’ll do 

  • Flow Architecture: Design the blueprint for how data flows in, is stored and accessed in our data platform. You will lead discussions across the business on this topic and make sure everyone is consulted and informed. 
  • Platform Development: Design, develop, and maintain the data platform. This includes both conceptual thinking on the best data model specifications, as well as hands-on building of ETL pipelines yourself (together with our Data Engineers). 
  • Data Governance: Devise & implement automatic monitoring of pipelines. You will also devise & document data standards and governance policies (including data lineage, GDPR, security), while ensuring these are known across and agreed upon by the business. 
  • Internal Collaboration: Work closely together with the business to align on data platform requirements and updates, as well as with your direct teammates, in particular the Data Engineers and the Data Lead. 
  • Team Contributions: As our Data team is new, we’d love your input & contribution to further mature the team, e.g. by devising best practices, supporting knowledge sharing and devising the optimal way of working.
