ROLE SUMMARY
We’re seeking a seasoned Platform Engineer / Solution Architect to lead the end-to-end implementation and adoption of a modern data Catalog and metadata platform, such as Atlan or Alation.

Automated metadata ingestion for priority sources (e.g., SQL Server, Snowflake, Databricks).
End-to-end lineage capability operationalized across application data pipelines and BI reporting tools.
Capability to build a business glossary, stewardship workflows, and metadata templates for critical domains.
CI/CD for connectors, policies, and configuration as code.
Capability to monitor adoption metrics implemented (active users, curated assets, coverage, search-to-click, trust flags).

RESPONSIBILITIES
Experience: 7+ years in data/platform engineering or solution architecture; 3+ years implementing data Catalog/metadata platforms (e.g., Atlan, Alation), including connectors, lineage, governance workflows, and adoption.
Data Stack & Integration: Proficiency with warehouses/lakes (Snowflake, Databricks), databases (SQL Server), pipelines (ADF, SSIS), BI (Power BI), and APIs.
