Lead Data Architect

LanguagesEnglishFull professionalThaiNative / bilingual

You’ve built modern data platforms. You understand cloud, architecture and the foundations required to make AI work at scale. But perhaps your next move isn’t about designing another platform—it’s about influencing the decisions behind some of the region’s most ambitious transformations.

A Tier 1 global consulting firm is expanding its Data & AI capability in Thailand and is looking for senior architecture talent to help major enterprises rethink how they use data in an AI-driven world.

The Opportunity

Operating at Lead or Principal level, you’ll work directly with senior technology and business leaders across Southeast Asia, helping them answer complex questions around data architecture, AI readiness, cloud modernization and governance.

This is an advisory-led architecture role. You won’t simply inherit requirements and produce designs. You’ll help define the direction—challenging existing thinking, evaluating technology choices and creating the architectural roadmap that engineering and data teams can execute against.

The Challenge

Many large organizations want to accelerate AI, but their underlying data estates aren’t ready.

You’ll help change that.

That could mean defining a modern lakehouse strategy, designing scalable cloud data architecture, introducing real-time data capabilities or establishing the governance needed to deploy AI responsibly across an enterprise.

You’ll bring credibility across modern AWS, Azure or GCP environments and technologies such as Snowflake, Databricks and Kafka, alongside a strong understanding of Data Mesh/Fabric concepts, governance and the data foundations required for enterprise AI and ML.

Crucially, you’ll be as comfortable discussing these decisions with a CIO, CTO or CDO as you are challenging an architecture team.

Why Make the Move?

This is an opportunity to move upstream in your career.

Rather than solving one organization’s data challenges, you’ll work across high-profile transformations involving some of the region’s largest businesses—gaining exposure to different industries, architectures and executive stakeholders.

You’ll also join an environment where the calibre of your colleagues will continually raise the bar. For someone who wants to build a reputation as a senior Data & AI technology advisor, the experience and network created here can open significant doors later in your career.

You’ll likely bring 10+ years in data architecture, engineering or technology consulting, with the presence to advise senior stakeholders while retaining genuine technical depth.

Based in Bangkok with regional project exposure. Travel across Asia can reach approximately 50%.
