Senior Data Solutions Architect (Remote - Brazil)

**Michael & Associates** is one of the fastest-growing criminal defense law firms in the United States, transforming how legal services are delivered through technology, innovation, and operational excellence. We're revolutionizing the legal industry—and data, automation, and AI are at the heart of that transformation. While many competitors still rely on fax machines, spreadsheets, and manual processes, we're building a modern, technology-driven organization powered by data warehouses, intelligent automation, advanced analytics, and AI-enabled solutions. We're looking for a **Senior Data Solutions Architect** to work closely with our Head of Data & AI to design, build, scale, and maintain the systems that power our continued growth. This is not a traditional reporting role. You will be responsible for developing end-to-end solutions to complex business problems by combining data engineering, analytics, automation, systems integration, and AI. A major part of this role will involve identifying inefficient processes and redesigning them from the ground up. Using Python, APIs, automation platforms, modern data infrastructure, and AI, you will reduce manual work, improve accuracy, accelerate decision-making, and enable teams to accomplish things that were previously impossible. We are especially interested in candidates who have designed and deployed AI solutions in real business environments. We are not looking for someone who has only experimented with prompts or casually used AI tools. We want someone who understands how to architect, integrate, evaluate, monitor, and continuously improve AI-powered systems operating in production. This role requires a high degree of ownership, independence, and accountability. We move quickly, our challenges are often complex, and we expect the person in this role to take full responsibility for delivering meaningful results. To be clear, this is not a conventional 9-to-5 position. We care more about delivering results than watching the clock. There will be demanding projects, urgent business needs, and situations where additional effort is required. The role offers strong compensation, significant autonomy, and the opportunity to build high-impact systems—but it is best suited for someone who is highly driven, dependable, and willing to do what it takes to succeed. ### What Makes This Role Awesome ### Work Directly with Decision-Makers to Drive Real Impact You will partner directly with our Head of Data & AI and leaders across the company. The solutions you build will influence operational, financial, marketing, sales, and strategic decisions. You'll be expected to understand the business context behind every project, challenge assumptions when appropriate, and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. ### Build Complete, Scalable Solutions You will design and develop end-to-end data and technology solutions, including data ingestion, pipelines, warehouses, semantic layers, dashboards, automations, integrations, and AI-powered applications. Rather than working on isolated components, you'll help define the problem, design the architecture, build the solution, validate the results, deploy it, and continuously improve it over time. ### Engineer AI Solutions That Expand What the Business Can Do You will identify and develop AI use cases that go beyond simple productivity improvements. Our goal isn't just to make existing work faster—it's to create entirely new capabilities for the business. You'll help teams analyze information at a scale they couldn't previously manage, automate complex decisions, improve client interactions, uncover insights from unstructured data, and solve problems that were once considered too difficult or time-consuming. ### Redesign and Automate Business Processes You'll work closely with business teams to understand existing workflows, identify bottlenecks and unnecessary manual work, and redesign processes to make them faster, more ac…
