Domain Architect III

About the team:

The Data Engineering, Analytics & Governance (DEAG) organization owns Clayton's enterprise data strategy, architecture, and delivery of trusted data products and business insights. The team leads the Data Enablement Framework (DEF), which prioritizes and delivers on that mission — starting with a Single Definition of Truth (SDOT) — on top of the Clayton Data Fabric (CDF), our strategic platform for secure, scalable data access across the enterprise.

Built on Microsoft Azure, Azure Databricks, and modern cloud data technologies, DEAG modernizes Clayton's data ecosystem, establishes enterprise data standards, and delivers data products that power advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, operational reporting, and business decision-making — including through Ask Data, our vision for self-serve access to trusted data across AI, BI, and API use cases.

Through close partnership with business and technology leaders, DEAG advances data enablement — building scalable cloud-native solutions, growing trust in the data that powers the business, and accelerating the adoption of AI and advanced analytics capabilities across the enterprise.
