• Develop semantic models using RDF, OWL, and JSON-LD to support analytics, AI, search, and automation use cases.

• Define ontology governance standards including stewardship, versioning, approval workflows, and lifecycle management.

• Use Python to accelerate ontology creation and validation from tribal knowledge, unstructured documents, and data catalog sources.

• Architect and implement solutions using Snowflake and its AI capabilities, including Cortex Analyst, Cortex Intelligence, and Cortex Search.

• Design patterns for structured and unstructured data access using Snowflake-native technologies, including semantic search, conversational analytics, and NLQ-to-SQL translation.

• Build multi-agent orchestration frameworks covering intent analysis, planning, tool selection, context engineering, and response synthesis.

• Design enterprise data and AI architecture patterns that integrate structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data across business domains.

• Lead executive and stakeholder conversations, explaining architecture options, tradeoffs, and implementation roadmaps clearly and confidently.
   

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in data, analytics, AI, or enterprise architecture roles.

• Deep hands-on expertise in ontology engineering and semantic modeling.

• Strong insurance domain knowledge, including claims, underwriting, policy administration, or regulatory use cases.

• Practical experience with RDF, OWL, JSON-LD, Python, and SQL.

• Hands-on experience with Snowflake and related AI capabilities such as Cortex Analyst, Cortex Intelligence and Cortex Search.

• Experience with AI4BI, NLQ-to-SQL, enterprise search, and retrieval patterns.

• Strong understanding of multi-agent systems and multi-agent orchestration patterns.

• Ability to engage senior executives and lead architecture-level discussions.
   

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with data catalogs, metadata platforms, and ontology governance frameworks.

• Exposure to Snowflake and AI associated services.

• Experience in consulting, product strategy, or enterprise transformation environments.

• Certifications in Snowflake, Azure, or related cloud architecture domains are a plus.
