TL;DR · Senior Data Architect

As a Sr. Data Architect in Warner Bros.’ Enterprise Data & Analytics Group, you will lead the design and implementation of an advanced AI Context Layer, transforming data into strategic assets for high-stakes decision-making. Your daily tasks include architecting enterprise ontology and semantic layers using tools like Snowflake Semantic Views or Databricks Unity Catalog to ensure seamless integration with Agentic AI systems. You will also modernize the medallion stack by implementing resilient lakehouse patterns and stream processing pipelines, while ensuring data governance through automated metadata management and CI/CD integration. This role requires expertise in canonical data modeling, semantic layer design, and proficiency in cloud platforms such as Snowflake or Databricks, alongside a solid understanding of FinOps to optimize cloud resource consumption for complex AI workloads.

What you'll do

  • Architect the vision for an Enterprise Ontology and Semantic Layer that serves as a central source of truth for Agentic AI systems.
  • Design and deploy semantic abstraction layers using native capabilities like Snowflake Semantic Views to expose canonical data via intelligent APIs.
  • Lead the design and consolidation of foundational data domains into unified Canonical Models within Silver/Gold layers, matching data from heterogeneous sources.
  • Implement modern lakehouse patterns including stream processing and schema-on-read ingestion to feed canonical layers seamlessly.
  • Partner with ML/DevOps teams to architect MLOps processes ensuring context data is continuously updated and monitored in production.
  • Develop and enforce enterprise-wide standards for metadata management through automated frameworks, enabling semantic consistency across AI and traditional BI queries.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years experience in data engineering and architecture for enterprise systems.
  • Proven track record designing, scaling, and implementing canonical models and semantic layers on large-scale data lakes/lakehouses.
  • Deep architectural knowledge of at least one modern cloud data platform (Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric).
  • Advanced skills in various data modeling paradigms including relational, dimensional, and graph-native concepts.
  • Ability to build, maintain, and version-control enterprise ontologies or semantic maps.
  • Solid understanding of financial operations for optimizing cloud resource consumption.
