Assured is on a mission to modernize insurance. Claims processing (i.e. should we pay this claim?), while often overlooked, is the foundation of the entire industry. It’s currently highly manual, involving phone calls, faxes, and gut instinct, costing tens of billions of dollars a year. At Assured, we provide large insurers with the software solutions they need to win in a modern, technology-driven world. From self-service claim-filing software to backend fraud detection, we’re the engine that powers claims processing for some of the largest insurers in the world.
The challenges we face are deep and diverse, from creating digital experiences that provide comfort and clarity to claimants at their most stressed and vulnerable to orchestrating large-scale ML-driven decision-making on billions of dollars of claims payments, life at Assured is dynamic, collaborative, and rewarding.
As a Data Architect, you'll define the standards, patterns, and platform that turn raw data into analytics the whole business can trust, designing and building our BI analytics platform.
Classify sensitive data and build the controls that protect it without slowing analysts down: tagging, masking, row access policies, least-privilege RBAC, and clear retention and deletion rules.
⏱️ Turn data reliability into commitments.
Define SLAs, SLOs, and freshness targets for every data product, and design the monitoring and alerting that catch a breach before consumers do.
Design how data flows.
Architect ingestion, transformation, and orchestration patterns that are idempotent, recoverable, and cost-aware, including backfills, late-arriving data, and failure handling.
Translate reporting needs from analysts, BI developers, and business leaders into durable data models, and work with Security, Legal, and Compliance on audits and access reviews.
Require version control, code review, CI/CD, automated tests, and infrastructure as code for every change, and enforce data quality contracts at each layer boundary.

Mentor data engineers and analytics engineers through design review, written guidance, and hands-on collaboration on the problems they own.
