What Does a Data Architect Do?
A data architect defines the blueprint for a company's data: warehouse and lake design, modelling standards, integration patterns, governance and security. They set the direction that data engineers then build against.
It is a senior, design-heavy role delivered through documents, diagrams and reviews — all of which travel perfectly well over a remote setup.
