Position Overview
As our Data Insights Solutions Architect and Technical Lead, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our data platforms and products. You will lead the design, integration, and ongoing optimisation of both established in market platforms and new, innovative data products and ventures, ensuring they are reliable, scalable, and built to support complex data, analytics, and reporting needs.
This role offers the opportunity to set technical direction across architecture, development, and operations, while working closely with talented engineers and product leaders. You will provide hands on technical leadership, mentor team members, and guide key architectural decisions that influence how our platforms evolve and scale over time.
With a strong mix of strategic thinking and practical delivery, this role has a direct and lasting impact on the success of our data ecosystem. You will evaluate and introduce new technologies, challenge existing approaches, and help drive high quality, fit for purpose solutions that support the next generation of data products across APAC.

You will be encouraged and supported to explore, evaluate, and champion innovative technologies and approaches, bringing fresh thinking into how we design and evolve our data platforms.
The role plays a key part in fostering a culture of continuous learning, improvement, and technical excellence. You will actively engage with team members through technical discussions, code and documentation reviews, creating an environment where ideas are shared, challenged, and refined. The successful candidate will confidently and constructively challenge assumptions to enable well-reasoned technical decisions, while proactively anticipating and planning for database growth, performance demands, and evolving business needs.
