JOB PURPOSE The Data Platform Architect is accountable for the technical architecture of the enterprise data platform, ensuring it meets the demands of a growing data estate while maintaining performance, cost efficiency, security, and alignment with enterprise architecture standards. This role will be expected to own the internal technical architecture (compute and storage design, ingestion framework patterns, data modelling standards, andaccess control architecture, platform performance and capacity planning, and establishing architectural authority, documenting design decisions, and ensuring knowledge retention within Burberry. This role defines the architecture, sets the standards, provides design governance, and ensures what is built is consistent, scalable, and aligned to the enterprise technology strategy. The architect participates in cross-functional squads where architectural input is required, providing design guidance for complex data initiatives. ACCOUNTABILITY BOUNDARIES AND KEY INTERFACES Accountable for platform architecture, standards, technical guardrails, architectural roadmap and design assurance for the enterprise data platform. Not accountable for day-to-day platform operations or individual data product delivery, but accountable for the architectural standards those teams consume. Key interfaces include Enterprise Data, Enterprise Platforms & Operations, Data Governance, Cyber Security, Solution Architecture, MLOps/AI teams and strategic technology vendors. RESPONSIBILITIES Design and maintain the platform's technical architecture, including compute/storage design, ingestion frameworks, access control, performance tuning, and capacity planning. Define and maintain architectural standards and guardrails (naming conventions, environment management, deployment pipelines, partitioning strategies, and cost optimisation patterns). Own platform cost modelling and FinOps governance, defining cost allocation patterns and identifying optimisation opportunities. Align with the Data Senior Solution Architect and Data Solution Architects to ensure consistency with enterprise data architecture and models. Translate architectural direction into practical engineering guidance for Data Platform Engineers and Data Engineers, ensuring teams can implement within defined standards without requiring bespoke architectural intervention for standard use cases. Design data ingestion architecture (batch, micro-batch, and streaming) with clear boundaries for system-to-system integration. Define architecture for the semantic layer and self-serve analytics infrastructure. Provide input to data squads for complex data products and support Data Product Managers and Data Engineers where architectural complexity requires it. Ensure architecture supports emerging requirements, including agentic AI data infrastructure, MLOps productionisation, and advanced analytics. Collaborate with the Senior Manager, Data Platform Engineering (within the Enterprise Platforms & Operations team) to ensure platform operations are aligned to the target architecture, providing feedback on feasibility and translating architectural decisions into implementable guidance. Collaborate with the Senior Manager, Data Engineering (within the Enterprise Data team) to ensure data engineering work follows defined patterns and standards. Own the data platform roadmap from an architectural perspective, defining how the platform evolves over time (e.g.,SAP BW transition/retirement path, Databricks maturation, Datasphere integration layer decisions). Contribute to enterprise architecture governance forums, representing data platform considerations in broader technology decisions. Provide architectural input to vendor and tooling decisions, evaluating technology options and providing recommendations for platform evolution. Maintain comprehensive documentation of design decisions, patterns, standards, and trade-offs. Define non-functional platform architecture standards covering resilience, backup/restore, disaster recovery, observability, service levels, auditability and operational readiness. Define platform security and privacy architecture in partnership with Cyber Security and Data Governance, including PII handling, access recertification, audit logging and retention patterns. Establish architecture decision records, exception/waiver processes and design scorecards so deviations from platform standards are visible, time-bound and governed. Maintain platform adoption, performance, cost and standards-compliance metrics, using them to guide roadmap priorities and architecture governance decisions. PERSONAL PROFILE Deep expertise in Databricks (Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, Spark, Databricks SQL) or equivalent Lakehouse platforms, including administration, cost management, and performance optimisation. Strong understanding of cloud-native architecture principles, cost models, and practical experience with CI/CD pipelines and environment strategies. Proven implementation of data security (encryption, RBAC, column/row-level security, data masking). Strong understanding of ingestion and pipeline architecture patterns for diverse source systems. Experience with SAP data landscapes (BW, Datasphere, S/4HANA data flows) is highly desirable given the Burberry technology estate. Experience defining architectural standards and patterns that engineering teams implement and comfortable setting direction without hands-on delivery. Experience working within a centralised architecture function that engages flexibly with delivery squads. Ability to communicate architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experience establishing architectural authority in environments transitioning from outsourced to in-house ownership is beneficial. Experience defining non-functional requirements and architecture patterns for enterprise-grade resilience, observability, disaster recovery, data lifecycle management and operational readiness.

About OLIX AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance. The Role Quality at OLIX is not a support function, it is a strategic pillar. As we drive toward tape-out and the transition from development to production, we need a Director of Quality who will build the quality infrastructure that OLIX's technology deserves: rigorous enough to satisfy world-class customers and partners, and lean enough to move at the pace our mission demands. This is a founding quality leadership role. OLIX is a fabless company: we build our products through a global network of best-in-class manufacturing and supply-chain partners, which means quality at OLIX is won or lost in the supply chain.
