Nexaminds is looking for a Senior Data Architect to lead data architecture efforts within a large-scale monolith modernization program. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with domain-driven decomposition, relational-to-NoSQL migrations, event-driven architectures, and enterprise-scale data modeling. This role focuses on defining data ownership, migration patterns, event schema standards, and cross-domain data strategies while partnering closely with engineering teams to ensure a successful transition from a legacy platform to a modern distributed architecture.
Location: MEXICO
Qualifications we are looking for:
- 10+ years of data architecture experience, including work on large-scale legacy systems with significant relational complexity.
- Hands-on experience untangling shared or cross-domain data models — you've done the work of figuring out what belongs where and what the consequences of getting it wrong are.
- Direct experience migrating from relational (SQL Server) to document (Cosmos DB) data models at production scale, including partition design and schema evolution.
- Strong event schema design experience: schema versioning, consumer contracts, and evolution strategy at scale.
- Solid understanding of CDC patterns and tooling (Debezium or equivalent) in the context of live system migration.
- Ability to set architecture standards that distributed teams implement independently, rather than owning a single centralized system.
- Fluency working with application architects and engineers — this role sits at the intersection of data and system design.
Nice to have:
- HCM, payroll, benefits, or tax domain experience.
- Familiarity with Azure Service Bus, Azure Container Apps, or Terraform.
- Background working in a formal modernization or re-platforming program.
Job duties:
- Analyze the monolith database to identify domain boundaries, shared data, and extraction sequencing — the foundational work decomposition teams depend on before they can move.
- Define SQL Server Cosmos DB migration patterns and standards that each domain team executes against, including partition strategy, document modeling guidance, consistency level decisions, and indexing.
- Design the data ownership and access model for cross-domain entities (employee record, org structure, etc.) before teams make independent decisions that conflict.
- Define canonical event schemas for domain extraction and own the evolution and governance strategy across all five workstreams.
- Maintain reporting continuity throughout extraction — serving as the bridge between what decomposition teams emit via Debezium/CDC and what downstream data consumers expect.
- Partner with the data lake architect to align on CDC output contracts and event schema standards.
- Identify data-level risks in the extraction sequence early, before they become production incidents.
- Contribute to decomposition planning sessions with data-grounded input on sequencing, dependencies, and shared concerns
