Demand for Data Leadership roles
New Data Leadership postings at the employers we follow are about the same over the last 6 weeks compared with the 6 before.
Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 6 weeks.
Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.
About the role
We file this job under Data Leadership, by the work the posting describes.
Data leaders run data teams or design how a company's data fits together. Managers hire, set priorities and answer for whether the data work pays off; architects choose the systems and the shape of the data.
Expect years of hands-on data work, experience leading people or projects, and the ability to explain tradeoffs to executives.
Unlike a senior engineer or analyst, most of a data leader's week goes to people, planning and decisions rather than building.

Role Purpose
Corning is seeking a Senior Staff Data Architect Engineer to lead enterprise data architecture supporting R&D and other large business domains. This role will define scalable data models, architecture standards, and data-product patterns that allow teams to bring complex data together in consistent, reliable, and reusable ways.
The ideal candidate brings deep architecture and data-engineering experience, particularly across large data platforms, data ingestion, modeling, transformation, governance, and enterprise-scale implementation. Direct R&D experience is helpful but not required; strong architecture experience in manufacturing, finance, pharmaceuticals, or another complex data domain is equally relevant.
Key Responsibilities
-
• Lead the design and evolution of enterprise data architecture, including conceptual, logical, and physical data models, canonical models, shared dimensions, and reusable data products
• Define scalable data-ingestion, transformation, storage, and serving patterns across modern cloud or lakehouse platforms
• Establish architecture standards for data products, pipelines, documentation, versioning, lineage, lifecycle management, and CI/CD-enabled reference implementations
• Partner with data engineers, product owners, analysts, governance teams, security teams, and business stakeholders to translate complex needs into practical data designs
• Embed data quality, access controls, PII handling, compliance, metadata, and governance requirements into models and pipelines
• Provide technical leadership, architecture guidance, and mentorship to data engineers and analysts
• Evaluate emerging architecture approaches, including lakehouse, data mesh, semantic-layer, streaming, and event-driven patterns
• Communicate architecture decisions, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to technical and nontechnical stakeholders
Experiences/Education - Required
-
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience
• Seven or more years of relevant data and technical experience, including at least four years in a Data Architect, Senior Data Engineer, or comparable role focused on data design and architecture
• Demonstrated experience designing enterprise data models for analytics and operational reporting, including dimensional, normalized, data-vault, or comparable modeling approaches
• Strong hands-on experience designing or guiding end-to-end ETL/ELT pipelines on cloud or modern data platforms
• Experience with Databricks or another large-scale cloud or lakehouse data platform
• Experience with dbt or a comparable data-transformation framework
• Strong SQL skills and proficiency in Python, Scala, or another data-engineering language
• Experience with Git, DevOps tooling, and CI/CD practices
• Ability to work in the United States without current or future immigration sponsorship and meet export-control eligibility requirements
Experiences/Education - Desired
-
• Experience with Delta Lake, medallion architecture, data-product design, data lineage, metadata, or cataloging tools
• Experience with streaming or event-driven data architecture using Kafka, Kinesis, or comparable technologies
• Familiarity with data mesh, domain-oriented architecture, data fabric, semantic layers, or related modern architecture patterns
• Experience developing architecture in a large manufacturing, R&D, pharmaceutical, financial, or similarly complex data environment
• Experience working with distributed or international technical teams
• Ability to work from Sullivan Park is preferred; highly qualified candidates may be considered for a remote arrangement
This position does not support immigration sponsorship.
The range for this position is $129,143.00 - $177,572.00 assuming full time status. Starting pay for the successful applicant is dependent on a variety of job-related factors, including but not limited to geographic location, market demands, experience, training, and education.
