Full Job Description
Responsibilities
  • Lead the design and implementation of data pipelines and infrastructure that power underwriting models, claims processing, and operational reporting-taking ownership from problem definition through delivery
  • Own the data warehouse architecture, making decisions that balance analytical performance, operational needs, and long-term scalability
  • Set technical standards and best practices for data modeling, pipeline development, and data quality across the team
  • Identify bottlenecks across the data stack and build solutions that improve reliability, reduce latency, and scale with business growth
  • Partner with engineering, product, and ops teams to understand data needs and translate them into well-designed systems
  • Build monitoring, alerting, and data quality frameworks that catch issues before they impact downstream consumers
  • Drive data governance practices, including documentation, lineage tracking, and access controls for regulatory and compliance needs
  • Mentor and coach other engineers on the team, helping them grow technically and develop ownership mindsets

Experience
  • 5+ years of experience building and maintaining data pipelines and infrastructure in production environments at scale
  • Strong proficiency with modern data stack tools: Snowflake, dbt, and Airflow (or similar orchestration tools)
  • Deep experience with Python for data processing and pipeline development
  • Expert understanding of data modeling best practices (dimensional modeling, slowly changing dimensions, data vault, etc.)
  • Familiarity with AWS data services and infrastructure-as-code
  • Demonstrated high agency and ownership: you naturally clarify what "good" looks like, ask great questions, and drive to completion
  • Track record of building reliable systems without sacrificing velocity-you know when to move fast and when to be careful
  • Experience mentoring engineers and elevating team capabilities


Our (FTE) benefits
  • Competitive salary, equity, and role trajectory
