Data Solution Architect – Greenfield Projects Location:

Ensure data accuracy, security, and accessibility across solutions.

Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of data solutions from design to deployment and evaluation.

Guide development teams and ensure technical feasibility of solutions.

Promote long-term supportability and align solutions with business objectives.

Skills & Experience

Experienced in data engineering, architecture, and enterprise data platforms.

Strong experience with Azure (Data Factory, Synapse, Databricks), SQL, Python, and modern data processing frameworks.

Deep knowledge of data warehouses, dimensional modelling, real-time/streaming analytics, and cloud-native data patterns.

Experience in regulatory/compliance environments, with strong governance, quality, and security expertise.

Insurance industry experience is highly desirable.

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or related field.

Your Mission:

Architect and design greenfield solutions end-to-end on Azure

Collaborate directly with business and tech teams to define, shape, and implement solutions

Drive best practices in cloud architecture, security, and integration

Make real-time decisions that impact product success

This is your chance to leave a mark on a major insurer’s greenfield initiatives, with freedom to influence architecture and strategy from day one.
