Role Summary: Everest is seeking a business-facing Reinsurance Solution Architect who combines strong insurance domain knowledge with deep, hands-on software engineering and delivery experience. The architect will partner with business and technology stakeholders to shape solutions across Everest's reinsurance application ecosystem, including underwriting, pricing, policy, premium, integration, and data platforms. This is not a governance-focused role. The successful candidate must understand how solutions are coded, integrated, tested, deployed, operated, and modernized. The architect will remain actively involved in technical design, code and design reviews, delivery execution, troubleshooting, and production readiness.

Key Responsibilities:

• Engage business stakeholders, product owners, and technology teams to understand reinsurance processes, priorities, and platform requirements.
• Translate business objectives into implementable solution designs, integration patterns, technical roadmaps, and delivery plans.
• Own the architecture and evolution of applications across the reinsurance technology ecosystem.
• Evaluate existing applications and third-party products and recommend appropriate platform, modernization, integration, or retirement strategies.
• Provide hands-on architectural guidance throughout design, development, testing, deployment, and production stabilization.
• Review code, APIs, data models, cloud configurations, integration designs, and implementation approaches.
• Develop prototypes, reference implementations, reusable patterns, or critical technical components when required.
• Architect scalable and resilient solutions across application, API, data, security, cloud, and infrastructure layers.
• Guide integrations among underwriting, pricing, policy, premium, data warehouse, reporting, and third-party platforms.
• Assess cloud readiness and lead the adoption of cloud-native services, containers, APIs, automation, and modern engineering practices.
• Ensure solutions align with enterprise architecture principles, security and compliance requirements, integration standards, and operational-resilience needs.
• Maintain architecture roadmaps and documentation, including application dependencies, technology versions, third-party components, data flows, and technical debt.
• Identify delivery risks, architectural constraints, dependencies, and performance concerns early in the lifecycle.
• Lead technical workshops, mentor engineering teams, and promote consistent development and delivery standards.
• Communicate solution options, costs, risks, dependencies, and trade-offs clearly to business and technology stakeholders.
• Support production troubleshooting and root-cause analysis across applications, APIs, integrations, databases, and cloud environments.
