Data Lake Architect II

Arrivia, Inc.

Scottsdale, AZ

Job description

At arrivia, we believe travel has the power to transform lives. To deliver world-class travel experiences to our millions of members, we need a world-class data foundation. We are looking for a Data Lake Architect II to be the visionary behind our next-generation cloud data platform.

You won't just be managing data; you’ll be architecting the engine that powers our enterprise-scale AI, machine learning, and real-time analytics. If you are passionate about turning raw data into "travel magic" using the latest Azure and Lakehouse technologies, we want to talk to you.

What You’ll Do

  • Architect the Vision: Design end-to-end data lake solutions (batch and streaming) that handle structured and unstructured data at scale.
  • Build for Intelligence: Implement optimized storage layers and feature stores specifically designed to supercharge our Data Science team’s ML workloads.
  • Engineer Flow: Construct high-performance ingestion pipelines using Spark, Databricks, Kafka, and Flink.
  • Drive Innovation: Lead the transition toward Lakehouse architectures (Delta Lake/Iceberg) and explore cutting-edge tech like Vector Databases for RAG.
  • Master the Cloud: Act as the primary authority for Azure architecture decisions, ensuring our compute strategy is serverless, scalable, and cost-efficient.
  • Govern with Excellence: Define the frameworks for metadata, lineage, and data quality that ensure our data is trusted and secure.

What You’ll Bring

We are looking for a technical leader who is as comfortable in a deep-dive coding session as they are presenting a strategy to stakeholders.

  • Azure Mastery: 3+ years of dedicated Azure architecture experience (6+ years in IT overall).
  • The Toolbox: Deep expertise in Azure Data Lake, Synapse, Databricks, and Big Data frameworks (Spark, Trino, or Flink).
  • ML Ops Mindset: Experience operationalizing models via MLflow, Vertex AI, or SageMaker.
  • Modern Patterns: Proven success with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), CI/CD (Azure DevOps), and distributed systems.
  • Communication: The ability to translate complex technical "hows" into clear business "whys."
  • Certification: Ideally, you hold an Azure Solutions Architect Expert or Azure Data Engineer Associate certification.

Why arrivia?

We’re a global powerhouse born from the merger of ICE, SOR Technology, and WMPH Vacations. We combine 55 years of stability with the agility of a tech innovator.

  • Stay Curious: We give you the space to learn, grow, and experiment with generative AI and new data patterns.
  • Win Together: We thrive on a culture of connection and inclusion.
  • Travel Perks: We’re in the travel business—we want you to experience the world!
  • Work Your Way: Enjoy a flexible environment (Remote/WFH) with a team that trusts your expertise.

Are you ready for the adventure?

If you’re a builder who wants to own the architecture and see your work impact millions of travelers, apply today and let’s build the future of travel together.
