What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on designing and maintaining enterprise-scale Master Data Management architecture, with a focus on Informatica IDMC tooling and integration with a Databricks-based data lake. Day-to-day work spans domain modeling, match/merge and survivorship rules, data quality governance, and both batch and real-time integration patterns. It suits an experienced data architect with a strong MDM background who can also mentor engineers and engage business stakeholders.

Why we read it this way (6)
The job title is 'MDM Architect' (internally 'Digital Technology Advisor – Data & Information Architecture'); no seniority level appears in the title, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 5+ years overall / 3+ years MDM-focused requirement, enterprise-scale scope, and technical authority framing support a Senior classification.
The SOC is a judgment call: the role is primarily an MDM/data architect designing master data platforms and integration patterns, which maps best to 15-1243 (Database Architects). A secondary case exists for 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) given the heavy cross-functional, business-alignment, and governance emphasis.
Informatica IDMC, on-premises MDM, IDQ, and PowerCenter are listed under the hard-requirements block ('you will have: Hands-on experience with the Informatica platform'). The specific IDMC sub-products (Multidomain/MDM 360, CDI, CAI, CDQ, C360/S360/R360) appear in the 'dynamic understanding of' section, which reads as a secondary/preferred block, so those sub-products are marked preferred.
Databricks, Delta Lake, Kafka, and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) appear in the 'dynamic understanding of' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
The posting states candidates must be located in or near the displayed locations but does not list specific cities in the text provided; Houston, TX is used as the CBSA given Baker Hughes's global headquarters there. The role is described as office-based/hybrid/remote eligible but requires proximity to a listed location, so remote is set to false.
The pay range ($127,310–$270,030/year) is explicitly described as a base salary range and excludes equity, bonuses, and benefits.
