Rol

e Summary:

We are looking for a seasoned Technical Architect to own end-to-end solution architecture for a specialty medical stop loss insurance enterprise's CEO-prioritized claims data platform modernization. You will design and govern a production-ready Microsoft Fabric lakehouse — covering the full medallion stack from ingestion through curated Gold layer views — while serving as the primary technical authority in direct engagement with client leadership. This is a hands-on architecture role embedded in the delivery team, with a hard production deadline and real commercial stakes on every desig

n decision.

Why Thi

• s Role Matters
• The customer processes 50,000+ claims annually across 250+ Third-Party Administrators using a fragmented, manual intake stack. The platform you architect will eliminate that friction, automate eligibility workflows, and become the data foundation on which all future AI/ML, BI, and operational capabilities are built. Phase 1 establishes a production-proven foundation on five priority TPAs — the architecture you get right here sets the pattern for the full TPA network in sub

sequent phases
