**AI/ML Data & ETL Data Architect
Charlotte, NC
Full-time**
Key Responsibilities
AI/ML Enablement & GenAI
- Architect feature stores, training/inference pipelines, and MLOps workflows for insurance use cases fraud detection, claims triage, underwriting risk scoring, loss reserving, and customer churn/retention.
- Design RAG and GenAI solution patterns for claims summarization, policy/document intelligence, and underwriter/agent copilots.
- Establish model lifecycle controls: versioning, lineage, drift monitoring, evaluation, and human-in-the-loop review.
- Define responsible-AI and governance guardrails appropriate to a regulated insurance environment (auditability, explainability, bias monitoring).
Data Architecture & Platform Design
- Own the end-to-end target-state architecture for the insurance data platform policy administration, claims, billing, underwriting, actuarial, and reinsurance domains across raw, curated, and analytics-ready layers.
- Design lakehouse and AI/ML reference architectures (Bronze/Silver/Gold Medallion) that unify structured, semi-structured, and streaming insurance data.
- Define data domain boundaries, source-to-target mappings, and canonical insurance data models for shared enterprise consumption.
- Produce architecture diagrams, design decision records, and patterns that engineering teams can implement consistently.
- Make build-vs-buy, cloud service selection, and cost/performance trade-off decisions and defend them to client architecture review boards.
Data Engineering & ETL/ELT
- Design scalable, production-grade ETL/ELT frameworks (PySpark, Spark SQL, Delta Live Tables / equivalent, orchestrated Workflows).
- Define ingestion patterns for batch, micro-batch, and streaming insurance feeds (policy, claims, payments, third-party/bureau data).
- Establish orchestration, monitoring, alerting, and automation standards for the engineering team.
Data Modeling
- Design dimensional models (star/snowflake) and canonical/conformed models for analytical and actuarial workloads.
