• Implement data modeling, partitioning, and indexing for optimal performance.
• Create analytical models to drive business insights and data-driven decision-making.

4. Real-time Data Processing:

• Implement real-time data processing using AWS Kinesis, Kafka, or MSK.
• Architect solutions for event-driven architectures with Lambda and EventBridge.

5. Security and Compliance:

• Implement best practices for data security, encryption, and access control using IAM, KMS, and Lake Formation.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.

6. Monitoring and Optimization:

• Monitor performance, optimize costs, and enhance the reliability of data pipelines and storage.
• Set up observability with AWS CloudWatch, X-Ray, and CloudTrail.
• Troubleshoot issues and ensure business continuity with automated recovery mechanisms.

7. Documentation and Best Practices:

• Create detailed architecture diagrams, data flow mappings, and documentation for reference.
• Establish best practices for data governance, architecture design, and deployment.

8. Collaboration and Leadership:

• Work closely with data engineers, application developers, and DevOps teams to ensure seamless integration.
• Act as a technical advisor to business stakeholders for cloud-based data solution

Regulatory Compliance Reporting Experience

The architect should be able to resolve complex challenges due to the strict regulatory environment in India and the need to balance compliance with operational efficiency. Key complexities include:

a) Building data segregation and Access Control capability: This requires in-depth understanding of data privacy laws, Amazon’s global data architecture, and the ability to design systems that can segregate and control access to sensitive payment data without compromising functionality.

b) Integrating diverse data sources into Secure Redshift Cluster (SRC) data which involves working with multiple teams and systems, each with its own data structure and transfer protocols.

c) Instrumenting additional UPI data elements collaborating with UPI tech teams and a deep understanding of UPI transaction flows to ensure accurate and compliant data capture.

d) Automating Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) and Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) reporting: This involves creating secure, automated pipelines for highly sensitive data, ensuring accuracy and timeliness while meeting strict regulatory requirements.

The Architect will be extending from India-specific solutions to serving worldwide markets. Complexities include:

a) Designing a unified data storage and compute architecture requiring harmonizing diverse tech stacks and data logging practices across multiple countries while considering data sovereignty laws and cost implications of cross-border data transfers.

b) Setting up comprehensive datamarts covering metrics and dimensions involving standardizing metric definitions across markets, ensuring data consistency, and designing for scalability to accommodate future growth.

c) Enabling customer segmentation across power-up programs that requires integrating data from diverse programs while maintaining data integrity and respecting country-specific data usage regulations.

d) Managing time zone challenges :Synchronizing data across multiple time zones requires innovative solutions to ensure timely data availability without compromising completeness or accuracy.

e) Navigating regulatory complexities: Designing systems that comply with varying and evolving data regulations across multiple countries while maintaining operational efficiency and flexibility for future changes.
