Summary:

Seeking for a Data Architect who can design, standardize, and oversee enterprise-level data architecture for an insurance organization. This is not just a hands-on developer role-it's strategic and governance-heavy, focusing on data models, standards, and platform recommendations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architecture Ownership:
  • Take full responsibility for target architectures and medallion patterns (likely a layered data architecture approach: bronze/silver/gold layers).
  • Platform Standards & Recommendations:
  • Define and enforce standards on data platform design, naming conventions, technologies, and frameworks.
  • Data Governance & Taxonomy:
  • Define subject-area taxonomy (how data domains are organized).
  • Set up data contracts (rules for how data is shared/used).
  • Establish RBAC patterns (Role-Based Access Control).
  • Security & Observability:
  • Ensure data observability, security, and retention are built into designs ("by-design" approach).
  • Design Oversight:
  • Approve logical & physical data models, Source-to-Target mappings, and major design decisions.
  • Identity & Matching:
  • Design identity resolution and matching logic (both deterministic and fuzzy matching).
  • Performance & Cost Optimization:
  • Optimize data pipelines for performance, storage, and cost efficiency.
  • Governance Alignment:
  • Make sure models align with data governance policies, lineage tracking, and compliance requirements.
  • Data Provisioning & Access Strategy:
  • Oversee data access strategy, profiling, and provisioning workflows.

Technical Skills Required

  • Cloud / Platform: Azure, Microsoft Fabric
  • Data Governance / Catalog: MS Purview (uncertain, but likely expected)
  • ETL / Data Movement: Azure Data Factory (ADF), PySpark
  • Programming / Scripting: Python
  • Visualization / Reporting: Power BI (PBI)
