Why Keyrus, Why Now

Keyrus is an international group of 2,800 consultants and experts across 28 countries, built on a single conviction: AI does not transform businesses. Architected intelligence does. For more than 30 years, we have been building the data foundations that make intelligent systems work — designing the Operating System of the intelligent enterprise, where intelligence is embedded into the core of business processes to create sustainable value: we operationalise intelligence.

AI does not replace humans. It repositions us to a place no system can follow: understanding, deciding, designing, and creating. At Keyrus, you will not just develop skills - you will develop judgment. Your expertise sharpens with every system you architect, every client challenge you solve, every deployment that compounds on the last.

Over time, you grow into one of the rarest professionals of the intelligence era: someone who bridges data, AI, and human decision-making at scale, across industries and geographies. This is not a role you fill. It is a discipline you master and a story you help write to become a Keyrus Architect of Intelligence.

Technology amplifies. Keyrus culture differentiates.. Industrial discipline connects the two.

What You'll Architect

As a Data Architect, you will shape the data foundations that enable our clients to become truly intelligence-driven organizations. You will design scalable, future-proof data architectures, guide strategic technology decisions, and help clients transform complex business requirements into practical data solutions.

  • Design conceptual, logical, and physical data models that support analytics, reporting, and operational use cases.

  • Architect modern cloud data platforms on Azure and/or AWS, including lakehouse, real-time integration, streaming, and hybrid architectures.

  • Evaluate and document key architectural decisions, balancing trade-offs such as build versus buy, batch versus streaming, and centralized versus federated approaches.

  • Act as a trusted advisor to business and IT stakeholders, translating strategic ambitions and operational constraints into realistic, scalable solutions.

  • Advise clients on data governance, master data management (MDM), metadata management, and data quality, considering both technology and organizational dimensions.

  • Contribute to solution design, client workshops, and RFP responses in collaboration with our sales and practice teams.

  • Guide delivery teams by establishing architectural standards, reviewing designs, and ensuring consistency, scalability, and maintainability across projects.

  • Mentor consultants and engineers, fostering architectural excellence within the Belgian practice.

  • Contribute to the continuous evolution of Keyrus reference architectures, methodologies, and accelerators.
