Manager, Data Engineer (Remote)

Strategic Analytics at Arch is a growing team at the forefront of the company’s AI transformation. We design and deploy agentic AI systems and predictive analytics, supported by AI-ready data assets and AI-assisted development practices. These capabilities are becoming increasingly embedded across the enterprise.

Data is central to our mission. We unify internal and external data on modern cloud platforms-including Snowflake and Databricks within the Azure ecosystem-to produce reliable, analytics-ready data assets that support both traditional analytics and emerging AI use cases.

As Manager of Strategic Analytics Services, supporting the Claims Analytics group, you will lead end-to-end delivery of complex data pipelines that put analytics at the center of business processes. This is a hands-on role that combines execution, technical leadership, and stakeholder partnership, including leading and developing a team of data engineers.

You will work closely with business and technical leaders to align priorities, shape scalable data solutions, and deliver measurable outcomes. You will also guide engineers and reinforce strong delivery practices, while advancing the team’s capabilities in modern data engineering, AI-assisted development, and well-governed, reusable data systems.
