##JOB SUMMARY:

The AGLC is advancing its enterprise data capabilities to better support regulatory excellence, informed decision‑making, and innovative digital services. We are looking for a Business Intelligence Architect to help shape the next evolution of our data ecosystem and lead the design of modern, scalable analytics platforms across the organization.

This is not a traditional BI developer role. It is a senior, strategic position responsible for defining and guiding the enterprise‑wide architecture that supports data, analytics, AI/ML, governance, and business intelligence. You will combine hands‑on technical knowledge with strong architectural leadership to build trusted, high‑performing data solutions used across the AGLC, with a particular focus on supporting the iGaming regulatory environment.

What You Will Do

Architect Enterprise Data & Analytics Solutions

• Define, evolve, and maintain AGLC’s enterprise BI and analytics architecture, ensuring consistent data models, standards, and practices across business areas.
• Design integrated data platforms- including data warehouse, data lake/lake house- and ensure they support analytics, reporting, and emerging use cases such as AI/ML.
• Lead the development of enterprise data reference architectures, patterns, and roadmaps aligned with corporate priorities.

Advance Modern Data Engineering & Platform Capabilities

• Architect and oversee scalable data pipelines using modern ELT/ETL patterns, with strong emphasis on Databricks and Azure data services.
• Ensure AGLC’s data platforms meet requirements for security, performance, reliability, cost effectiveness, and regulatory compliance.
• Provide architectural oversight for CI/CD, DevOps and release processes within the data engineering environment.

Collaborate, Influence & Drive Business Outcomes

• Work closely with enterprise and solution architects, business units, project teams, and vendors to deliver high value data solutions.
• Translate business strategies and regulatory requirements into architectural designs that enable measurable outcomes.
• Contribute to architecture review processes, vendor evaluations, and cross jurisdiction initiatives.
• Provide leadership, mentorship, and guidance to technical teams, consultants, and other partners.

##SKILLS & ABILITIES:

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
• 4+ years of experience in data engineering, business intelligence, or data architecture, ideally in complex enterprise environments.
• Strong hands‑on experience with the Databricks platform and modern data engineering tools.
• Proficiency in Python and Apache Spark.
• Solid understanding of data modelling (relational, dimensional, and domain‑driven approaches).
• Experience with Microsoft BI Stack (SSIS, SSRS) and Power BI, Tableau, or similar BI tools.
• Knowledge of cloud‑based data platforms such as Azure Synapse Analytics or Microsoft Fabric.
• Familiarity with architectures supporting AI/ML capabilities.
• Assets include:
  • Databricks, Power BI, or Azure data engineering certifications.
  • TOGAF or DAMA CDMP certification.

• To be eligible to work for AGLC, you must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or eligible to work in Canada.
