Lead architecture for AWAC's Pricing Database and Rating services. Define API strategy for rating ingestion, rules orchestration, and real-time quote computation across InsureMO and custom rating components (including Excel Rating tool). Collaborate with underwriting, actuaries, and client tech teams to design scalable, secure integrations for multiple LOBs (Commercial P&C). Own high-availability designs, latency SLAs, and modernization roadmap from configuration-driven rating to reusable microservices. Responsibilities: Architect microservices/APIs for rating calculations, versioned models, and deployment pipelines. Design canonical data models for policy, coverage, exposures, and rating factors; define upstream/downstream contracts. Integrate with InsureMO APIs; develop adapters for Excel Rating tool ensuring deterministic computations. Govern NFRs: performance (< 150ms API p95), resilience, observability, security (OAuth2, mTLS), auditability. Drive API gateway strategy, schema evolution, backward compatibility; implement blue/green or canary releases. Mentor leads/developers; enforce coding standards, threat modeling, CI/CD hygiene. Align with enterprise architecture on AWS cloud, data retention, compliance (SOX/PII). Core Skills: Java (modern stack), API architecture, enterprise integration, stakeholder management, InsureMO, Excel Rating tool, DDD, event-driven patterns. Plus: DevOps (GitHub Actions/Jenkins), AWS (EKS/Lambda/API Gateway, RDS/Aurora/DynamoDB), P&C domain depth, rating tools/platforms.
