Salt Lake Sector V in Kolkata has a Junior Data Architect opening, full time, on site, with a solution architecture team designing scalable data systems. Six months of experience is the expectation, and this is a genuinely early-career opportunity to learn architecture-level thinking, not just implementation.
The work covers designing scalable technical solutions under senior guidance, learning to evaluate new technologies for adoption, and helping align architecture decisions with business goals. A junior architect here spends real time observing and contributing to architecture discussions, not just implementing decisions made entirely by others.
A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with an emerging track record designing scalable systems and contributing to technical decisions, appropriate for someone still building this skill set at an entry level.
Any coursework or project involving system design, genuine curiosity about tradeoffs between different architectural approaches, and comfort asking senior architects to explain the reasoning behind a design decision rather than just accepting it.
Salt Lake Sector V is one of Kolkata's most established tech corridors, and this architecture team works across multiple concurrent projects, giving a junior architect broad exposure to different data modeling challenges early in their career. Naukri Mitra has listed a small number of architecture roles from this employer, and junior architects who've joined recently describe direct exposure to senior architecture discussions from early on as the fastest way they built real design judgment, faster than they expected from a junior title.
Interviews include a data modeling exercise and a discussion of your reasoning behind a design choice. Candidates who can articulate tradeoffs, not just describe a solution, tend to interview well.
This role is based at Salt Lake Sector V, Kolkata, pin code 700091, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹60,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within five weeks.
