About the Role

We are looking for an exceptional Data Architect to join our team at Magnet Forensics. This role involves leading data storage strategy and design across our multi-product SaaS platform, unifying independent products into a coherent platform.

Key Responsibilities

→Drive data architecture unification across multiple SaaS products, creating coherent patterns while respecting product needs.
→Partner with vertical technical leads to provide horizontal architectural support and alignment.
→Design and optimize data storage across multiple technologies—AWS OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, relational databases, S3, NoSQL, and data warehousing.
→Optimize for performance and resilience—indexing, querying, high availability, redundancy, and disaster recovery at scale.
→Support AI initiatives—partner with our AI specialist team on data architecture for AI capabilities.
→Bring clarity from ambiguity—translate complex challenges into clear architectural direction.
→Build capability, not dependencies—mentor engineers so teams become more self-sufficient.
→Balance performance, cost, and reliability across our platform.

Requirements

✓Deep expertise in AWS OpenSearch/Elasticsearch—you've solved hard problems at scale with indexing, querying, and performance.
✓Broad data technology experience—relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL, RDS), object storage (S3), NoSQL (e.g. DynamoDB, MongoDB, Redis), data warehousing.
✓Cloud and container knowledge—AWS preferred (Azure/GCP also valued); understand stateful services in Kubernetes.
✓Proven platform architecture experience—track record of driving technical strategy across multiple teams or products at scale.
✓Senior-level maturity—you make those around you better through mentorship and capability building.
✓Influence without authority—you work effectively across teams, bring clarity from ambiguity, and think strategically.
✓SaaS experience—comfortable with multi-tenant environments and operational excellence.
