Enterprise Solutions Architect

Role: Enterprise Solution Architect Location: Atlanta, GA Onsite Experience:10-15+ years in enterprise architecture / data platform architecture Deep experience in Microsoft Fabric + Power BI ecosystems and modern data platform principles Strong delivery leadership for large programs (multi-domain, 1000+ user scale) Proven background in: Data architecture Data modeling Metadata lineage/catalog design and stewardship models Migration modernization programs (DW/ETL to transformation) Extensive communication and stakeholder management experience Key Enterprise Architecture & Strategy (Target State + Roadmap)Define the target state architecture for Microsoft Fabric including: Workspace/domain strategy aligned to enterprise governance model (centralized CoE, federated domains, or hybrid) Workload architecture and domain boundaries (including curated, semantic models) Design platform adoption roadmap: Phased onboarding strategy for 1000+ teams and 10,000+ users Capacity modeling (governance, scaling, performance, migration waves) Adoption enablement (CoE, enablement, best practices) Governance, Security & ComplianceOwn architecture direction for: Data governance Data access controls (RBAC) Security compliance frameworks (Zero Trust & Enterprise Controls) Define governance standards: Naming conventions, workspace structures Dataset certification Lifecycle management Set up governance RACI and operating model across domains Data Platform ArchitectureDefine enterprise data architecture covering: Data ingestion (batch & streaming) Data transformation (ETL/ELT patterns) Storage (Lakehouse, Warehouse, semantic layer) Data serving (BI, APIs, downstream consumption) Define Fabric roles (enterprise catalog UI, glossary, stewardship workflows, governance operating processes)Data Governance & Metadata ManagementDefine Alation's role (enterprise catalog UI, glossary, stewardship workflows, governance operating processes) Design and guide implementation of:Metadata synchronization strategy (system of record, mapping rules, identity resolution) Lineage strategy (Fabric lineage + enterprise lineage consolidation) Business glossary alignment and stewardship RACI across domains Define governance workflows:Data product certification/endorsement, publishing guardrails Controlled sharing models and approvals for sensitive data Data contract and documentation standards Integration Architecture (Sources, Formats, and Consumption)Define patterns for ingestion and integration across source systems:Structured sources (SQL Server/Oracle/SaaS), unstructured files, APIs, events (where required) Batch and incremental (CDC) ingestion strategies Data quality and schema drift strategy Define serving and consumption architecture:Semantic model strategy (shared models, certified datasets, RLS/OLS patterns) Power BI workspace/app distribution model and content lifecycle Data sharing patterns across workspaces/domains (governed reuse, avoiding duplication) Migration & Modernization LeadershipLead modernization and migration planning:Discovery and assessment of legacy platforms (DW/ETL/BI, on-prem to cloud) Workload classification and migration wave planning Target patterns: refactor vs rehost vs replatform Define migration accelerators/approachMetadata-driven ingestion, automated reconciliation, parallel run strategy Validation strategy: data parity, performance, security, and operational readiness Operational Model, Observability & FinOps StrategyDefine platform operations:SLO/SLA model for platform and critical data products Incident/change/release management and ITSM integration Define observability strategy:Capacity monitoring, workload health, lineage coverage, governance compliance metrics Own FinOps strategy:Cost allocation model Workload optimization and capacity planning approach
