About this role

Informatica MDM Technical Architect

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly technical, deeply hands-on, and strategically minded Informatica MDM Technical Architect t o lead the design, modernization, and delivery of enterprise-wide Master Data Management solutions.

In this role, you will act as a trusted advisor and technical delivery lead supporting multiple customers - meaning you must be equally comfortable defining high-level strategic data roadmaps for executives and executing tactical hands-on development in the code.

The ideal candidate brings a proven track record of deep technical fluency within the Informatica IDMC platform, migrating legacy systems to the cloud, and a passion for embedding robust data governance into the core of enterprise data estates.

Key Responsibilities & Technical Requirements

  • Lead the end-to-end design, data modeling, and deployment of robust, enterprise-wide Master Data Management (MDM) architectures spanning multiple core business domains (e.g., Customer, Product, Supplier).
  • Demonstrate extensive hands-on expertise with the Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform, explicitly leveraging Cloud Data Integration (CDI) and Cloud Application Integration (CAI).
  • Architect and configure Informatica MDM SaaS products, including Customer 360 (C360), Reference 360 (R360), and related cloud-native multidomain MDM solutions.
  • Successfully operate at both the strategic level (defining roadmaps, target architectures) and the tactical level (hands-on development, configuration, and deep-dive troubleshooting).
  • Lead complex legacy-to-cloud modernization initiatives, transitioning older, on-premises Informatica MDM Hub architectures into cloud-native IDMC environments.
  • Infuse data governance frameworks, metadata catalogs, data lineage, and data quality standards natively into the MDM lifecycle using Cloud Data Quality (CDQ) and governance tools.
  • Effectively manage and support multiple customers simultaneously, aligning their unique business requirements with scalable, high-performing technical strategies.
  • Architect real-time API integrations, event-driven streaming, and batch ETL pipelines connecting MDM with modern cloud data platforms and SaaS applications.
  • Design and fine-tune complex match/merge rules, survivorship matrices, hierarchy management configurations, and multi-source ingestion frameworks.
  • • Design intuitive data stewardship interfaces, custom task workflows (e.g., CAI, ActiveVOS), and business validation rules to maximize operational efficiency for data stewards.
  • Articulate complex technical designs, trade-offs, and strategic visions with clarity, reasoned judgment, and relevance to both engineering teams and business executive sponsors.
  • Actively leverage modern AI tools and generative AI features to accelerate development workflows, optimize code/configurations, and streamline technical documentation processes.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Minimum of 8 years of strong, hands-on technical experience dedicated to Informatica MDM and data integration products (with 15+ years of overall IT/Data Architecture experience highly preferred to match senior market demands).
  • Successful delivery of multiple full-lifecycle enterprise MDM implementations from discovery and blueprinting through to production go-live.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline.

Note

This is an exceptionally hands-on technical architecture role. If you are a purely high-level strategist or administrative manager who no longer configures platforms or builds components, this position will not be a proper fit.
