Enterprise Architect

At the Vitrolife Group, we work every day to unlock the full potential of science and technology to reduce the barriers towards building a family. Together we help our customers and their patients to fulfill the dream of having a baby. Shape the Platform, Enable Domains, Build for Scale We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join our Group Analytics enabling team. This is a key role in establishing and evolving our global data platform, with Microsoft Fabric and the Azure ecosystem as the primary technology direction. You will combine hands-on data engineering with architectural responsibility, helping us build scalable, governed, and automated data platform capabilities. The role is central to our ambition to move from fragmented and manually maintained legacy solutions toward a modern, domain-oriented data platform that enables trusted analytics, self service, and future AI/ML use cases. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys building for scale, setting technical direction, and enabling others through strong engineering standards, reusable patterns, and practical guidance. Your Mission As a Senior Data Engineer, you will help design, build, and mature our global data platform. You will work with Microsoft Fabric, lakehouse and medallion architecture, reusable data pipelines, analytical data models, and modern engineering practices. You will play an important role in enabling a federated, data mesh-inspired operating model, where domain teams can own and evolve their data products within clear technical and governance guardrails. Depending on your profile, you may also take architectural responsibility for selected platform capabilities, patterns, and technical decisions. Experience from other modern lakehouse platforms, such as Databricks, Spark, or PySpark, is highly relevant where it strengthens your ability to design scalable and automated data solutions. What You’ll Do • Help design, build, and evolve our Microsoft Fabric-based global data platform, including scalable pipelines, lakehouse patterns, and analytical data models. • Develop reusable engineering standards, templates, and governed data objects that enable domain teams to build and manage data products. • Apply modern engineering practices such as Git, CI/CD, monitoring, documentation, testing, and infrastructure-as-code principles such as Terraform. • Embed security, access control, GDPR/PII handling, lineage, and metadata requirements into platform delivery. • Work closely with enterprise architects, data engineers, data analysts, data scientists, business stakeholders, and domain teams. • Mentor colleagues and support the modernization and deprecation of legacy BI/DW solutions. What You Bring • Senior-level data engineering experience with strong hands-on delivery, architectural understanding, and ability to design scalable platform solutions. • Strong SQL and Python skills, with Microsoft Fabric experience or transferable lakehouse expertise from Databricks, Spark, PySpark, or Delta Lake. • Experience with production-grade data pipelines, medallion/lakehouse architecture, analytical data modeling, and domain-oriented data design. • Experience with modern engineering practices such as Git, CI/CD, DevOps, monitoring, and preferably infrastructure-as-code principles such as Terraform. • Good understanding of data governance, metadata, lineage, access control, GDPR, and PII handling. • Collaborative mindset, with the ability to create reusable patterns and translate business and analytical needs into scalable technical solutions. Why Join Us? You will be part of shaping the foundation for how data is managed, governed, and used across the organization. This is a chance to help build the platform many data engineers wish they could build from the start: scalable, secure, automated, metadata-driven, and designed for future AI and agent-enabled ways of working. You will influence platform architecture, establish reusable engineering patterns, and help domain teams become more self-sufficient with data. The role contributes directly to the shift from fragmented legacy solutions toward a trusted global data platform for analytics, self-service, and future AI/ML capabilities. You will join an enabling analytics team with a clear ambition: to make data more accessible, reusable, and reliable across the business. Please note that this role is based in Valencia or Gothenburg. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, so please submit your application as soon as possible.

ABOUT US We're an independent European digital product studio with a strong track record of delivering market-defining strategies and products for enterprises and governments. With about 200 talented people across three countries, premium AI capabilities and a diverse portfolio of international clients, we define, design and ship high-quality digital products, strategies and software. From global cloud-based platforms and large-scale apps to medical devices, banking software and augmented reality experiences. In a nutshell: if it lives and breathes digital, it’s what we do best. BECOME A PART OF OUR TEAM At In The Pocket, you join a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, strategists and data specialists who care about the work as much as the people they work with. We work in small, autonomous teams that stay close to our clients and their users, and we give everyone the space to take ownership, speak up and grow. You’ll learn from colleagues across our studios, ship products that reach thousands or even millions of people and help shape what digital can do for leading organisations in Europe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT YOU’LL DO  As an Enterprise Architect, you act as the strategic bridge between business vision and technology delivery, ensuring the organization's technology landscape perfectly aligns with its long-term goals. Operating with a "big picture" perspective, you will play a key role in our Business Design tracks, helping clients transition from current inefficiencies to future-proof ecosystems while guiding them through the complexities of digital and AI transformation. DESIGN THE ENTERPRISE BLUEPRINT * You will develop and maintain organization's overarching architecture framework, covering business, data, application, and technology layers. * You will craft the high-level architecture for complex buy vs. build challenges by analysing the existing technology landscape and understanding business, and user functional and non-functional requirements, to ensure secure and compliant solutions. ALIGN STRATEGY WITH EXECUTION * You will translate business strategies into actionable, evolutionary IT roadmaps. * By utilizing Business Design tools like Capability Maps and Value Streams, you ensure that technology and AI investments are focused exactly where they create the most value and competitive advantage. ESTABLISH ARCHITECTURE & DATA GOVERNANCE * You will define, implement, and enforce architectural principles and standards. * You will also guide organizations in building solid data foundations and establishing governance structures (such as AI Centres of Excellence), ensuring teams can innovate and experiment safely within technical and regulatory guardrails. EVALUATE & DRIVE INNOVATION * You will continuously assess the external environment and emerging technologies to determine their fit within the existing architecture. * You will guide organizations from discovering opportunities to deploying production-ready solutions (including Applied AI), accelerating their digital maturity. COLLABORATE ACROSS DOMAINS * You will partner with business leaders, AI transformation experts, Product Managers, and Solution Architects to facilitate cross-domain decision-making. WHO YOU ARE  * You have 7+ years of professional experience with a background in engineering, with at least 3 years in consulting, digital strategy or transformation roles serving enterprise or public-sector clients. * You have a solid background in IT architecture and a holistic mindset. * You are capable of stepping back from individual systems to understand complex organizational structures, and you know how to safely integrate new paradigms, whether that is cloud modernization or AI integration, into core operations. * You are a "bridge-builder" who fluidly translates complex technical concepts into simple terms for non-technical executives, while successfully relaying business requirements to engineering teams. You don't have to be the smartest person in the room; your goal is to make everyone else smarter. * You possess strong business acumen and understand that architecture is highly context-dependent and exists to serve business value. * You are familiar with business design concepts like capability mapping, value streams, and operating models, and can link technology investments directly to new value propositions. * You are comfortable with formulating a substantiated opinion and defending it to executives. * You are comfortable leading organizations through the ambiguity of change, digital evolution, and AI readiness. * You excel in stakeholder management, effortlessly navigating conflicting agendas and fostering alignment from the C-suite to the teams "in the trenches". * You have practical experience with enterprise architecture frameworks (such as TOGAF) and modeling languages. * You combine this with a strong understanding of data governance, security by design, and the compliance requirements needed to deploy technology responsibly at an enterprise scale. * You possess full professional proficiency in Dutch and English, enabling you to articulate complex ideas with clarity. The ability to engage stakeholders in French is considered a plus. WHAT WE OFFER   Joining In The Pocket means becoming part of a team that shapes the future of our clients’ businesses across Europe.
