Principal Information Architect

Salary: £100,000 - 100,000 per year

Requirements:

• Create logical and physical data models and express them clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Use UML modeling tools such as MagicDraw, PowerDesigner, or Eclipse-based tooling
• Apply metamodel concepts such as UML and MOF to structure and govern modeling approaches
• Work with controlled vocabularies and metadata standards to drive consistency and reuse
• Produce and interpret mappings and lineage to explain how data is related, moved, and transformed
• Translate between what is in a model and its corresponding representation in programming and schema languages
• Build or maintain domain-specific languages, including their abstract syntax structures
• Program effectively in one or more languages such as Java, JavaScript, Python, or C++
• Implement language tooling components such as parsers, interpreters, compilers, debuggers, or related frameworks
• Prototype solutions independently and navigate ambiguous design and functionality problems
• Collaborate with business and technical teams to understand, translate, review, and playback requirements
• Demonstrated experience designing metadata and language architecture that supports AI-enabled solutions, including enforceable semantics, lineage/provenance, and integration into scalable platforms with resiliency, security, and auditability requirements
• Exposure to code generation patterns and the development or use of code generators
• Familiarity with data management technologies such as relational or columnar databases, data integration (ETL), or API development
• Familiarity with data formats such as JSON, XML, Avro, or Google Protocol Buffers
• Comfort engaging with the algorithms and mathematics behind languages, tooling, and data processing
• Academic background paired with hands-on implementation experience
• Interest in how strong Information Architecture and models enable modern software development and engineering discipline
• Awareness of how modeling and metadata practices support regulatory and control requirements

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain the metamodel to support current and emerging business needs
• Create and evolve novel metadata assets, including controlled vocabulary, mapping, lineage, transformation, and data content descriptions
• Build and maintain mappings between metadata and software engineering assets
• Design and maintain domain-specific languages that represent metadata, including their underlying structures
• Prototype and maintain tooling that captures, integrates, validates, transforms, generates code from, reports on, and presents metadata
• Engage with customers, the Chief Data Office, product owners, Information Architects, development teams, and other stakeholders to communicate our Information Architecture vision and standards, and support effective implementation
• Architect metadata and language foundations that enable AI solution capabilities, including semantic consistency, provenance/lineage, policy tagging, and interoperability across engineering workflows
• Establish reuse-first, metadata-driven engineering patterns and governance that support AI-enabled platforms through well-defined models, DSLs, and tooling integrations
