About You:
You are an early-career data professional with a strong interest in data architecture and platform design. You have a solid foundation in data engineering, data modelling, or analytics, and are looking to develop your skills in designing scalable, secure, and well-governed data solutions.
You are analytical, detail-oriented, and eager to learn from experienced architects and engineers. You enjoy working in collaborative Agile teams and are comfortable engaging with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You are motivated to develop your understanding of enterprise data architecture, governance, and cloud data platforms, and you align with Solirius Reply's values.

We are looking for Junior Data Architects to support the delivery of high-quality data solutions across our public and private sector client projects.
