A Data Architect developer designs, creates, deploys, and manages an organization's data architecture. They define how the data will be stored, consumed, integrated, and managed by different data entities and IT systems. Key responsibilities include ensuring data solutions are built for performance and design analytics applications for multiple platforms. They create blueprints for data management systems to integrate, centralize, protect, and maintain the data sources. They also set standards for data management and conceive projects needed to eliminate the gap between current state and future goals. They often collaborate with system designers, developers, and business leaders.
