    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.
    • Apply normalization/denormalization strategies balancing performance, usability, and regulatory traceability.
    • Ensure data quality, integrity, and alignment with enterprise and insurance regulatory governance policies.

    Governance, Security & Compliance

    • Embed PII/PHI handling, masking, tokenization, and least-privilege access models into platform design.
    • Align architecture with insurance regulatory and audit requirements (e.g., NAIC model standards, state DOI, HIPAA where health lines apply, SOC 2, GDPR/CCPA).
    • Define metadata management, data lineage, and cataloging strategy (Unity Catalog or equivalent).

    Technology Stack

    • Advanced hands-on data engineering: Spark, Delta Lake / lakehouse, Workflows, Unity Catalog (or cloud-native equivalents).
    • AI/ML tooling: MLflow or equivalent, feature stores, model serving, and GenAI/RAG frameworks (LangChain/LangGraph or similar).
    • Strong SQL and Python programming with performance tuning skills.
    • Cloud platform depth (AWS / Azure / GCP), including managed data and ML services.

    Required Qualifications

    • Hands-on AI/ML pipeline and MLOps experience, including at least one production GenAI/RAG deployment.
    • Strong command of Medallion architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold) and modern data modeling for warehousing and analytics.
    • Proficiency with PySpark, SQL, ETL/ELT frameworks, and Delta Lake (or equivalent) optimization.
    • Experience with CI/CD, Git, and job orchestration tooling.
    • Insurance, financial services, or other regulated-industry delivery experience.
    • Demonstrated ability to present and defend architecture to senior client and review-board stakeholders.

    Preferred Skills

    • Data governance, metadata management, and Unity Catalog (or equivalent) advanced features.
    • Streaming technologies (Auto-Loader / Structured Streaming / Kafka / Event Hubs / Kinesis).
    • Data security, regulatory compliance, and fine-grained access models.
    • Cost optimization and performance tuning in cloud environments.
    • Responsible-AI / model governance frameworks (e.g., NIST AI RMF).
    • Tools such as Airflow, Databricks Workflows, dbt, or similar.
