Job Description
Join our Data & AI team.
You will become part of a multidisciplinary team where data engineering, architecture, AI, analytics, governance and visualization come together. Together, we help clients get more value out of their data: from setting up the right data foundations to building dashboards, analytics solutions and AI use cases that support better decisions.
As a Data Architect, you will contribute by designing the data structures, platforms and integration patterns that help organizations use their data in a consistent, scalable and future‑ready way.
You play a key role in helping clients modernize their data landscape. You assess existing data environments, analyze business and technical needs, and design target architectures that support analytics, reporting, AI use cases and broader digital transformation.
You work across the full data value chain: from source and raw data analysis to data integration, modeling, platform design and migration planning. You help clients move from legacy or fragmented environments towards modern cloud‑based data platforms that are easier to scale, govern and use.
In this role, you collaborate closely with business stakeholders, data engineers, cloud architects, BI consultants, governance specialists and other Data & AI colleagues. You translate client ambitions into meaningful data architecture decisions, challenge requirements where needed, and guide implementation teams towards practical, robust and business‑aligned solutions.
Within our Data & AI team, we help each other grow and keep learning from one another. Are you looking for a role where you can combine data architecture, platform modernization, business analysis and hands‑on delivery guidance? Then the Data & AI team at Sopra Steria is the right place for you.
Qualifications
We’re looking for a Data Architect who combines strong technical expertise with a consulting mindset. You are able to understand a client’s current data landscape, translate business needs into clear architecture decisions, and guide teams towards solutions that are scalable, secure and maintainable.
* Background in Data Engineering or Data Analysis.
* At least 3 years of experience as a Data Architect.
* Ability to design and set up end‑to‑end data solutions.
* Collect, analyze and match customer demand with a meaningful design.
* Good knowledge and experience with SQL, data modelling concepts and ETL best practices.
* Practical experience with Microsoft cloud or comparable alternatives.
* Knowledge of a programming language like Python is a plus.
* Experience with using and implementing AI in your and the client’s workflow is a plus.
* Analytical thinking, communication skills and a practical attitude.
* Proficiency in English; knowledge of Dutch and/or French is a must.
Benefits
At Sopra Steria, you’ll join our Data Platform Modernisation Practice within the Data & AI team: a specialized group of consultants helping clients modernize the data foundations that support reporting, analytics, AI and better decision‑making.
Our work goes beyond technical migration. We help organisations assess their current data landscape, identify where modernization creates value, design future‑ready cloud data platforms, integrate data across systems and guide the move from legacy environments to scalable, business‑aligned solutions.
You’ll grow your expertise in data architecture, platform design, data integration, modelling, cloud data platforms, migration strategy and stakeholder collaboration. You’ll do this in a collaborative team where knowledge sharing, technical deep dives and coaching are part of the way we work.
As part of Sopra Steria, you’ll also benefit from strong career development opportunities, both locally and internationally, supported by the Sopra Steria Academy and a wider network of more than 51,000 professionals.
We offer a generous employee benefits package that includes:
* Mobility options (including a company car), insurance coverage, meal vouchers, eco‑cheques, and more.
* Continuous learning opportunities through the Sopra Steria Academy to support your career development.
* The opportunity to connect with fellow Sopra Steria colleagues at various team events.
