VP Architect, AI & Platform

Salary range is:

This position is equity and bonus and/or commission eligible.

CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc. (CCC) is a leading cloud platform for the multi-trillion-dollar insurance economy, creating intelligent experiences for insurers, repairers, automakers, part suppliers, and more. At CCC, we’re making life just work by empowering more than 35,000 businesses with industry-leading technology to get drivers back on the road and to health quickly and seamlessly. We’re pushing boundaries with innovative AI solutions that simplify and enhance the claims and repair journey. Through purposeful innovation and the strength of its connections, CCC technologies empower the people and industry relied upon to keep lives moving forward when it matters most.

You will define and evolve CCC’s long-term architecture strategy across multiple cloud platforms, product domains, data platforms, APIs, integration patterns, AI/ML systems, and developer experience. You will ensure that architectural choices support CCC’s growth, customer trust, speed of innovation, operational resilience, and ability to scale AI-enabled workflows across the insurance economy.

You will establish clear architectural principles and decision frameworks that help teams move faster while avoiding unnecessary fragmentation, duplication, and technical debt.

You will guide CCC’s transition from software that uses AI to a platform that is increasingly AI-native. This includes architecture for predictive AI, computer vision, generative AI, agentic workflows, human-in-the-loop decisioning, model orchestration, evaluation frameworks, AI observability, model governance, and safe automation.

You will help ensure CCC can deploy AI responsibly across high-consequence workflows such as damage assessment, estimating, claims routing, injury prediction, subrogation, total loss prediction, and customer communications.

You will lead the architecture for CCC’s data foundation, including data products, event streams, metadata, lineage, governance, data contracts, lakehouse/warehouse patterns, real-time decisioning, and customer-facing analytics. Your goal will be to help CCC turn its ecosystem data advantage into reusable platform capabilities while maintaining privacy, security, accuracy, and customer trust.

You will partner with data science and product teams to make CCC’s proprietary data, workflow context, and ecosystem signals easier to use in AI models, product experiences, partner integrations, and internal decision systems.

You will guide the evolution of CCC’s multi-tenant SaaS architecture, cloud infrastructure, service boundaries, APIs, event-driven systems, integration patterns, and shared platform capabilities. You will help engineering teams make smart decisions about build vs. buy, modularity, service ownership, resilience, latency, cost efficiency, and operational maturity.

The goal is not architecture purity. The goal is a platform that lets CCC innovate faster, integrate more easily, serve enterprise customers reliably, and scale AI-powered workflows across many product lines and customer segments.

You will build an architecture function that enables teams rather than slows them down. This includes creating lightweight governance, architecture review practices, reusable patterns, reference implementations, decision records, and technical roadmaps.

You will mentor principal engineers and architects, raise the technical bar across engineering, and help create a culture where architecture is practical, measurable, and connected to business outcomes.

You will partner with Security, Legal, Compliance, and Product to ensure CCC’s AI and platform architecture is secure, explainable where needed, auditable, privacy-aware, and resilient. This includes modern AI risk controls such as prompt-injection defenses, secure model supply chains, output validation, data leakage prevention, model monitoring, and human oversight.

In the first 6 months, this leader will have created a clear architecture map of CCC’s current platform landscape, identified the highest-leverage modernization opportunities, established practical architecture principles, and built trust with senior engineering, product, AI, security, and executive stakeholders.

In the first 12 months, this leader will have shaped a multi-year AI and platform architecture roadmap, reduced architectural fragmentation in priority areas, improved reuse of core platform and data capabilities, strengthened AI governance and evaluation practices, and accelerated delivery of AI-enabled product capabilities.

Longer term, success means CCC has a more modular, scalable, AI-native platform architecture that strengthens its ecosystem advantage, improves engineering velocity, supports trusted automation, and creates more leverage from CCC’s data, workflows, and network.

• Experience in insurance, automotive, collision repair, fintech, healthcare, logistics, or another complex workflow-heavy industry.
• Experience building platforms that support marketplaces, partner ecosystems, or multi-party networks.
• Experience with computer vision, claims automation, document intelligence, decision automation, or workflow orchestration.
• Experience modernizing legacy platforms while continuing to support large enterprise customers.
• Familiarity with AI governance frameworks, model risk management, privacy requirements, secure software development, and regulated-industry expectations.
• Experience working with public-company technology, security, and operating expectations.
