Key Responsibilities
  • Design and implement end-to-end data architectures using Azure-native services.

  • Architect scalable data platforms that support ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and analytics workloads.
  • Define and optimize data pipelines for performance, scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
  • Establish and enforce data governance, metadata management, security controls, and architectural standards and best practices.
  • Apply distributed data processing principles to large-scale data environments and ensure model performance at scale.
  • Collaborate with business stakeholders, domain SMEs, data engineers, analytics, and BI teams to translate insurance requirements into maintainable, scalable solutions.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentoring for data modelling, data engineering, and analytics initiatives.
Required Skills & Qualifications
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with:
  • Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS)
  • Azure Data Factory (ADF)
  • Azure Synapse Analytics
  • Azure SQL
  • Proven experience designing and implementing enterprise-scale data pipelines (ingestion, transformation, orchestration).
  • Strong experience creating insurance-specific data models (policy, claims, billing, rating), with P&C domain experience preferred.
  • Solid track record implementing data governance frameworks, data lineage, and architectural best practices.
  • Deep understanding of distributed data processing concepts and performance optimization.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills; comfortable working with both technical teams and insurance business stakeholders.
  • Experience translating regulatory and actuarial reporting requirements into data model and pipeline designs.
Preferred Skills
  • Hands-on experience with Azure Databricks and PySpark for large-scale data processing.
  • Experience defining standards for Databricks workloads, Spark-based pipelines, and data science model integration with production data platforms.
  • Prior experience delivering cloud-based data and analytics initiatives for Insurance (P&C preferred).
  • Familiarity with insurance source systems (policy administration, claims management, rating engines) and common data feeds.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience in cost optimization for cloud data platforms.
