Establish architecture review processes that support delivery speed while protecting long-term maintainability.

Align enterprise application architecture with the data platform (data flow, master data, analytics readiness, data quality).
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
