Data Governance with Alation (implementation & admin)

Looking for an experienced Alation specialist to architect, automate, and govern an enterprise-scale data catalog and metadata management platform. This is a hands-on architecture role - not just administration - covering the full lifecycle from platform design through security, integrations, lineage, and governance adoption.
What They'll Do
Architecture & Deployment: Define the target-state Alation setup - Cloud vs. customer-managed, sizing, HA/DR, upgrade strategy
Metadata & Ingestion: Manage metadata extraction (MDE), query log ingestion (QLI), and profiling across warehouses, lakes, BI tools, and ETL platforms
Connectivity: Build/maintain OCF connectors and the Alation Agent; develop custom connectors and API-based ingestion where native support doesn't exist
Lineage: Architect end-to-end lineage - both automated and custom (via Lineage API) to fill pipeline gaps
Catalog Design: Build out the catalog information model - custom fields, templates, object hierarchies, business glossary, Data Governance App/Policy Center
Security: Implement SSO/SAML, SCIM/LDAP provisioning, RBAC, service accounts, credential/data source authentication
Integrations: Connect with Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, dbt, Tableau/Power BI via REST APIs and Alation Analytics
Governance: Set platform standards/guardrails, review changes, monitor health/adoption, advise leadership on stewardship and curation strategy
