AI Data Solutions Architect (Chicago)

The AI Data Solutions Architect is a senior technical role within the AI Center of Excellence, responsible for designing
and governing the data architecture that underpins all AI and machine learning initiatives across Camping World
Holdings. This individual will own the end-to-end data strategy for AI projects — determining where data should
reside, how it flows between systems, and how it is structured to maximize value for AI workloads. They will maintain
a comprehensive data lineage and usage inventory, ensuring the organization has clear visibility into where data is
sourced, transformed, stored, and consumed.
Key Responsibilities
AI Data Architecture & Design
• Define and maintain the enterprise data architecture for all AI and machine learning projects, including data
lake, warehouse, and feature store strategies.
• Design data models, schemas, and pipelines optimized for AI/ML consumption across Snowflake, BigQuery,
Postgres, and supporting platforms.
• Establish standards for data ingestion, transformation, storage, and retrieval that support real-time and batch AI
workloads.
• Architect integration patterns that connect structured and unstructured data sources (Snowflake, Salesforce,
SharePoint, PDFs, APIs) into unified, AI-ready datasets.
Data Lineage, Governance & Inventory
• Build and maintain a comprehensive data catalog and lineage map that documents where every critical data
asset lives, how it is used, and which AI models depend on it.
• Partner with Data Engineering and Analytics teams to ensure data quality, consistency, and compliance across
all AI data pipelines.
• Implement metadata management practices and tooling to enable self-service discovery and impact analysis.
• Define data classification, access controls, and retention policies for AI-specific datasets in alignment with
security and regulatory requirements.
AI Project Delivery & Collaboration
• Serve as the embedded data architect across all AI Center of Excellence projects, ensuring each initiative has a
sound data foundation from design through deployment.
• Collaborate with AI/ML engineers, agent developers, and platform teams to translate business requirements into
data architecture decisions.
• Evaluate and recommend data technologies, connectors, and integration tools that accelerate AI delivery (e.g.,
vector databases, RAG pipelines, embedding stores).
• Support the buildout of the enterprise data lake initiative, consolidating disparate data sources for AI and
analytics workloads.
Strategic Planning & Standards
• Develop and maintain data architecture standards, reference architectures, and design patterns tailored for AI
use cases.
• Create and present architecture proposals, data flow diagrams, and technical documentation to both technical
and executive audiences.
• Stay current on emerging data technologies, cloud-native data services, and AI infrastructure patterns; advise
leadership on adoption opportunities.
• Contribute to the AI Center of Excellence’s technology standards and roadmap for data infrastructure
