Description
The Mission
We aren’t just migrating legacy systems at PTSG; we are building the future. We’re looking for a Data Architect to lead the design and execution of a green field data ecosystem on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
This is a rare "blank canvas" opportunity. You will have the autonomy to select the right tools, define the governance, and build a scalable, resilient architecture that will serve as the backbone for our next generation of products.
This is a full time, permanent role, working 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday. You will be based from either our Altrincham office (WA15 8FH) or Castleford head office (WF10 5HW) on a hybrid basis (working from home with an office day approximately once a week).
What You’ll Do
As the primary architect for this initiative, you will bridge the gap between high-level business strategy and deep technical execution.

What You’ll Do
As the primary architect for this initiative, you will bridge the gap between high-level business strategy and deep technical execution.
- Design from Zero: Lead the end-to-end architecture of a modern data platform, utilizing BigQuery, Dataflow, and Pub/Sub.
- Set the Standard: Establish best practices for data modelling (Star, Snowflake, Vault), CI/CD for data pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
We value expertise over a long list of keywords, but here is what our ideal stack looks like:
Who You Are
- A Visionary: You don't just follow blueprints; you write them. You understand the trade-offs between different architectural patterns.
- GCP Native: You have a clear understanding of the Google Cloud ecosystem.
- Code-Fluent: You are comfortable in Python, Java, or Go, and you treat your infrastructure like software.
- Communicator: You can explain the "why" behind a complex partitioning strategy to a stakeholder just as easily as you can debug a pipeline with an engineer.
No technical debt. No "we've always done it this way." Just pure engineering challenges and the chance to build a world-class data foundation from the ground up.
Benefits:
- A competitive salary
