About the Role
We are looking for an Enterprise Data Migration Architect with deep, hands-on expertise in large-scale data migrations and modern cloud data platforms. This is a senior technical leadership role within our Insurance P&C; data transformation program, responsible for architecting and owning the end-to-end migration of legacy data systems to a modern cloud-native ecosystem on AWS.
You will work at the intersection of architecture, delivery, and governance — defining migration strategies, leading technical execution, and driving outcomes that directly impact business operations. This is a production delivery role, not advisory or POC-only.
What You Will Do
Data Migration Architecture & Leadership
- Own end-to-end design and execution of enterprise data migrations from legacy platforms (Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, AS400/Mainframe, PostgreSQL, MySQL) to modern cloud targets on AWS
- Define and govern migration strategy including data mapping, transformation logic, reconciliation frameworks, cutover planning, rollback procedures, and performance tuning
- Lead large-scale incremental and CDC-based migration pipelines ensuring zero-loss data fidelity
- Drive validation, quality assurance, and sign-off processes across source and target systems
Cloud Data Platform & Architecture
- Design and implement scalable data architectures on AWS — leveraging Databricks or Snowflake as the primary analytical platform
- Build and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines using AWS-native services: S3, Glue, DMS, Lambda, Redshift, EMR
- Architect Lakehouse, Data Vault, Star Schema, and Dimensional models aligned to Insurance P&C; business domains
- Optimize Spark workloads for cost, performance, and reliability in production environments
Governance, Observability & Security
- Implement data lineage, observability, and data quality frameworks throughout the migration lifecycle
- Define and enforce data security, access controls, and compliance standards aligned with Insurance regulatory requirements
- Drive cloud cost optimization strategies across data services
Stakeholder Management & Delivery Governance
- Partner with business, product, and engineering stakeholders to define scope, priorities, and delivery milestones
- Communicate architecture decisions, risks, and migration status to senior leadership and client stakeholders
- Lead and mentor cross-functional engineering teams through complex delivery programs
Non-Negotiable Requirements
Candidates must demonstrate all of the following to be considered.
Area Requirement
Experience 10+ years in enterprise data architecture and large-scale data migration programs
Vertical Insurance P&C; domain experience — mandatory
Migration Depth Proven E2E migrations: mapping, reconciliation, validation, cutover, rollback, and performance tuning
Modern Platform Strong hands-on expertise in Databricks or Snowflake
Cloud Strong exposure to Amazon Web Services and its database/analytics services
Production Delivery Real production migration experience — not only POC or support roles
Technical Skills
Languages & Frameworks
- Strong SQL, Python or Scala, PySpark
- Spark optimization for production-scale workloads
ETL/ELT & Pipelines
- AWS Glue, ADF, Informatica, dbt, or equivalent
- CDC / incremental load patterns, reconciliation and validation frameworks
AWS Services
- S3, Glue, DMS, Lambda, Redshift, EMR — hands-on experience preferred
Legacy Databases
- Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, PostgreSQL, MySQL — working knowledge required
- AS400 / Mainframe familiarity preferred
Data Architecture Patterns
- Star Schema, Dimensional Modeling, Data Vault
- Lakehouse / Medallion Architecture
- Cutover planning, rollback strategy, data validation at scale
Governance & Security
- Data lineage, metadata management, observability tooling
- Cloud cost optimization, security controls, and access governance
Nice to Have
- Experience with Purview, Collibra, or equivalent data catalog / governance tooling
- Familiarity with Insurance regulatory data requirements (IRDAI or equivalent)
- CI/CD and DataOps practices — Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or similar
Why This Role
- Lead one of the largest Insurance P&C; data transformation programs in the region
- Work with a modern tech stack — Databricks, Snowflake, AWS — at enterprise scale
- Direct influence over architecture decisions from day one
- Cooperative, delivery-focused culture with senior engineering and business stakeholders
