Data Architect

Summary

Join Jellyvision as a Data Architect to shape the foundational data strategy for benefits products. You will design scalable, secure, and resilient data systems for employers, employees, brokers, and partners. Lead the development of data architecture, balancing speed, quality, and compliance while enabling product innovation, reporting, and AI capabilities. Build the data blueprint, architect for interoperability and insights, and lead with collaboration and influence across teams. Success will be measured by the strength of your architecture, ability to unlock data pipelines, and how well your vision is adopted across teams. This remote position offers a competitive salary.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in data architecture, data engineering, or enterprise systems design, ideally within health tech, insurance, or a similarly complex domain (HL7 FHIR)
• Experience designing modern cloud-native data architectures (e.g., using Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, S3, etc.)
• Experience in building and maintaining RDBMS systems (we favor PostgreSQL)
• Deep knowledge of data privacy and compliance standards (HIPAA, SOC2, HITRUST, etc.)
• Experience integrating with third-party systems via API, file exchange, or EDI (e.g., carriers, payroll providers, or HRIS platforms)
• A strong track record of delivering scalable data models that support transactional systems as well as analytical use cases
• Proficiency with structured and unstructured data, event-driven architectures, and data streaming technologies (Kafka, Kinesis, etc.)
• Exceptional communication skills; you can align executives, developers, and stakeholders around a shared architectural vision
• Demonstrated ability to assess build vs. buy decisions and lead partner evaluations for data tooling or services
• Affinity for creative problem-solving—balancing ideal architecture with real-world constraints to drive rapid innovation

Responsibilities

• Build the Data Blueprint
• Design and own the end-to-end data architecture for our new and existing benefits products, grounded in best practices for data modeling, governance, and interoperability
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and security teams to define how data should flow, be stored, and be accessed—ensuring it supports real-time decision making, scalability, and regulatory compliance (HIPAA, SOC2, etc.)
• Architect for Interoperability and Insights
• Bring the know-how to architect APIs, data lakes, event streams, and ETL pipelines that connect us to external partners while maintaining internal consistency
• Support our analytics and AI capabilities by structuring data so that insights are accessible and scalable across the business
• Lead with Collaboration and Influence
• Work closely with product managers, software engineers, analysts, compliance experts, and external partners to bring your architectural vision to life
• Understand the business implications of technical decisions and speak fluently across teams to align priorities and tradeoffs
• Be equally comfortable whiteboarding with engineers or presenting architecture strategy to executives
