Principal Data Architect

We are looking for a Data Architect to establish the architecture, standards, and roadmap that enable trusted data to move effectively across our AWS-based products and platforms. You will connect operational, analytical, and external data needs, defining how data is modeled, integrated, governed, secured, and consumed. The role requires a practical architect who can work across software engineering, data engineering, analytics, product, security, and business teams to turn complex insurance data into durable, reusable data products. Significant experience in data engineering, database architecture, analytics engineering, or software engineering, including recent ownership of data architecture in AWS environments. A strong record of designing enterprise data platforms and data-intensive products that serve both operational and analytical workloads. Deep expertise in data modeling, including relational, dimensional, domain-driven, event-based, document, key-value, and other NoSQL approaches. Strong SQL and database engineering knowledge across technologies such as PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, Aurora, Redshift, and DynamoDB. Practical understanding of data lake, lakehouse, warehouse, streaming, event-driven, and API-based architecture patterns on AWS. Experience designing data pipelines and integrations using services such as AWS Glue, Kinesis, Lambda, Step Functions, SQS, SNS, and APIs. Strong knowledge of data governance, metadata, lineage, quality, privacy, security, retention, access control, and the operational ownership of data products. Experience using infrastructure as code and CI/CD practices to make data platforms repeatable, controlled, testable, and supportable. Ability to communicate complex data concepts, architecture choices, dependencies, and risks to technical teams, product leaders, and business stakeholders. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience. #LI-MB1 #LI-Hybrid
