You’ll partner with technology and business leaders to define architecture standards, patterns, and roadmaps that enable secure, governed, and cost-effective use of enterprise data.

Your Work:

Ontology & Palantir Platform Architecture

• Own the enterprise Ontology strategy and architecture on Palantir Foundry/AIP: object model design, semantic standards, domain ownership, and governance of Ontology evolution across business domains.

• Define reference architectures and usage patterns for Foundry and AIP capabilities (Ontology, Pipeline Builder, Functions, Workshop, AIP Logic, Agent Studio) and set guardrails for when and how each is used.

• Establish how the Ontology integrates with core systems of record (policy, billing, claims), the enterprise data platform, and downstream applications.

• Define the architecture for AI, GenAI, and Agentic workflows grounded in the Ontology, including LLM/RAG patterns, agent boundaries, human-in-the-loop controls, and Responsible AI requirements.

Data Architecture

• Define the data architecture target state and roadmap, including conceptual and logical data models, domain boundaries, data product standards, and data mesh/lakehouse operating patterns.

• Set standards for data integration, API, and event-driven patterns across structured and unstructured data, spanning Snowflake, Kafka/MSK, and the Palantir platform.

• Establish data governance, lineage, metadata, quality, privacy, and security requirements in partnership with Data Governance, Security, and Compliance.

• Rationalize the data and analytics platform portfolio and define platform interoperability (Snowflake, Palantir, AWS data services).

Cloud & Enterprise Integration

• Provide architecture direction for AWS-based data and AI capabilities (S3, Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, SQS/SNS, Step Functions, MSK, Bedrock, SageMaker), focusing on patterns, security, resiliency, observability, and cost.

• Define integration standards between the data platform, ontology layer, and enterprise applications.

Architecture Leadership

• Lead the Architecture Review process for data and AI initiatives; approve solution designs and ensure alignment to enterprise standards and roadmaps.

• Develop business cases, capability maps, and executive-level architecture narratives that connect data and AI investments to business outcomes.

• Guide infrastructure and engineering leads; establish and maintain reusable patterns, principles, and architecture decision records.

• Collaborate with business and product leadership to translate strategy into a prioritized architecture roadmap.

Required Experience, Education and Skills

• Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Science, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

• 10+ years in Enterprise Architecture, Data Architecture, Solution Architecture, or related roles, with 5+ years in an enterprise or domain architect capacity.

• 4+ years designing enterprise Data, Cloud, or AI architectures at scale.

• 3+ years of experience with Palantir Foundry and AIP, including Ontology design and governance.

• Deep expertise in enterprise data modeling (conceptual, logical, semantic), ontology/knowledge graph concepts, data mesh and data product thinking, and domain-driven design.

• Strong architecture expertise with AWS, cloud-native patterns, event-driven and API-based integration, high availability, observability, and infrastructure as code.

• Architecture-level experience with Snowflake, Kafka/MSK, Spark, Bedrock, and SageMaker; sufficient Python and SQL fluency to evaluate designs and review implementations.

• Experience architecting AI/ML, GenAI, RAG, and Agentic AI solutions, including governance and Responsible AI controls.

• Working knowledge of data governance frameworks, regulatory and privacy requirements, and security architecture.

• Familiarity with TOGAF, ArchiMate, or comparable enterprise architecture frameworks and tooling.

• Proven ability to influence senior technology and business leaders and to communicate architecture decisions to executive audiences.

• Experience leading architecture governance forums and driving alignment across domains and delivery teams.

• Strong systems thinking and the ability to balance strategic direction with pragmatic delivery constraints.

• Ability to mentor solution architects and establish architecture standards and practices.

• Strong collaboration across Architecture, Engineering, Product, Security, Data Governance, Operations, and business teams.

What would make us excited about you?

• Experience leading Palantir platform adoption across multiple business domains strongly preferred.

• P&C insurance experience (Guidewire or comparable core platforms) strongly preferred.

• Actively shapes our company culture (e.g., supporting employee resource groups, mentoring employees, volunteering, joining cross-functional projects)

• Champions our cultural norms (e.g., willing to have cameras when it matters: helping onboard new team members, building relationships, etc.)

• Demonstrates a company ownership mindset, thinking beyond boundaries of their own area
