Data Architect - Remote

Mindex is looking for a Data Architect who thrives on solving complex data challenges and transforming information from multiple source systems into scalable, well-structured data solutions. In this role, you will design and maintain the canonical data model for a large-scale Snowflake data platform, bringing together data from HRIS, payroll, client systems, and other domains into a consistent, reusable framework that supports analytics, reporting, artificial intelligence, and other data-driven initiatives.

Compensation

$120,000 - $173,000

What You'll Accomplish

• Design and own the canonical/common data model that normalizes disparate source schemas into a unified structure across ~10 data domains
• Conduct source-system data profiling and analysis to understand domain-specific data, identify quality issues, and inform modeling decisions
• Build conceptual, logical, and physical data models using dimensional and normalized modeling techniques
• Design and implement Snowflake-specific modeling patterns, including slowly-changing dimensions (SCDs), dynamic tables, and entity resolution strategies (e.g., "Common Worker" across HRIS and payroll systems)
• Collaborate with data engineers to ensure models are implemented correctly and perform well in Snowflake
• Document and justify all modeling decisions clearly for stakeholders — your rationale is as important as the model itself

• 5+ years of experience in data architecture, data modeling, or a closely related role
• Deep expertise in dimensional and canonical data modeling — normalizing disparate schemas into a unified structure
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake modeling patterns (dynamic tables, views, schema design, performance)
• Strong proficiency in advanced SQL
• Proven ability to perform source-system data profiling and analysis across complex, multi-domain environments
• Experience with slowly-changing dimensions (SCDs) and entity resolution across systems
• BS degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
