You will work from architecture to implementation: evaluating and selecting platforms, designing data models and pipelines, and building the systems that collect, contextualize, and deliver data to the teams and tools that depend on it. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders to translate operational requirements into a durable, scalable data architecture. As Vulcan grows, this role has the opportunity to expand into a team leadership position.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 2">Responsibilities</span></span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":240,"335559739":120,"335572079":4,"335572080":4,"335572081":13421772,"469789806":"single"}"> </span></p> <p><em><span data-contrast="auto">Architecture & Platform Design</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":180,"335559739":100}"> </span></em></p> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Design and own Vulcan’s data architecture from operational data stores through ETL pipelines to the analytics and AI layer</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Evaluate and select platforms for the data Lakehouse, ETL tooling, and operational databases, weighing scalability, compliance requirements, operational burden, and cost</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Review, refine, and implement data architecture design documents, ensuring designs are technically sound and account for CUI and ITAR data handling requirements</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Make and document key platform and design decisions with enough clarity that future team members can understand the reasoning and build on it</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="5" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Ensure the architecture scales from pilot plant to full-scale facility without fundamental redesign</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="6" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Apply sound engineering practices to everything you build: version control, testing, observability, and documentation, and hold those standards as the data team grows</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><em><span data-contrast="auto">Data Pipeline & Integration</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":180,"335559739":100}"> </span></em></p> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="7" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Design and build ETL pipelines that move data from operational data stores into the data Lakehouse with full contextual enrichment, making it ready for analytics and AI workloads</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"•","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="8" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Build reliable ingest paths for structured data, time-series data, files, images, and other outputs from manufacturing and lab systems</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":60}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="•" data-font="" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991
