Data Architect

Our Mission At Vertical Aerospace, we are pioneering the way for electric aviation. The Valo, our eVTOL (electric, vertical, take-off and landing), ''zero emissions'' aircraft will set a new safety standard for how we will navigate the sky. We won''t realise our mission following the same legacy processes and traditions our predecessors followed, instead, we want to ''redefine'' aerospace best practices. We are growing quickly from a prototype business to a scaling SME, and the next few years will be critical to our success and delivering on our ambitious goals. Valo is targeting airliner-level safety certification in 2028 ahead of entering service with our airline and operator customers.

Alongside architectural ownership, you will be expected to contribute hands-on where needed, particularly in shaping and implementing pipelines, models, and platform components. The role requires balancing longer-term architectural direction with practical delivery, working closely with data engineers, BI developers, and software teams to ensure solutions are both well-designed and delivered effectively.
