Data Architect, Duck Creek/Guidewire

This individual will collaborate closely with other Verisk teams, customers, and implementation partners to establish best-in-class data modeling standards, guide data persistence practices, define canonical structures, and ensure seamless integration with policy administration systems and related downstream applications. The ideal candidate combines deep P&C industry knowledge with hands-on technical expertise across data modeling, databases, React-based UI integration, REST API design, and cloud-native architecture.

1. Data Architecture & Strategy

• Design, evolve, and maintain a canonical insurance data model (CIDM) that supports ISO ERC and proprietary carrier products, and custom extensions.
• Define and enforce standards for data capture, persistence, normalization, and extensibility, ensuring alignment with the FAST P&C Platform’s architecture.

• Architect and govern effective dating, versioning, and historical tracking strategies across coverages, forms, schedules, exposures, and hierarchies.

• Model complex insurance relationships including 1-1, 1-many, many-many, cross-product linkages, and multi-level policy structures.

• Establish and communicate best practices for product-agnostic and highly extensible model design.

1. Hands-on Architecture & Solution Design

• Define end-to-end technical architecture for integration with downstream systems (rating, analytics, reporting).
• Design and optimize relational schemas in SQL Server and PostgreSQL, including indexing strategies, partitioning approaches, stored procedures, and performance tuning.

• Partner with developers to build and refine .NET-based services that implement business logic, data access patterns, and platform APIs.

• Define and maintain REST API contracts for consistent, secure, and scalable data interchange.
