Job Description We are seeking a Senior Data Engineer to play a critical role in transforming enterprise data capabilities within a large property and casualty insurance organization. This position is centered around building a modern, scalable, and business-aligned data platform to replace legacy, vendor-driven solutions tied to a recent Guidewire implementation. This engineer will help lead the design and implementation of a cloud-based data ecosystem leveraging Azure, Databricks, and Snowflake. The initiative is focused on bringing data ownership in-house, improving accessibility, ensuring audit readiness, and enabling enterprise-level reporting and analytics. You will partner closely with leadership, architects, and business stakeholders to define standards and influence the future of data engineering across the organization. This is a highly visible role with the opportunity to shape long-term data strategy, modernize pipelines, and establish best practices while mentoring a growing team. Key Initiatives & Impact * Lead the design and development of a scalable Snowflake-based data platform to replace Guidewire DataHub (DHIC). * Drive the transition from vendor-managed data solutions to internally owned, end-to-end data architecture. * Build and modernize data ingestion pipelines using Azure and Databricks to support enterprise reporting needs. * Establish data engineering standards, governance, and best practices to ensure data quality, integrity, and transparency. * Enable structured, centralized access to data across multiple formats (e.g., Excel, PDFs, and other sources) for business users. * Partner with cross-functional teams to define data architecture, storage structures, and data lifecycle strategies. * Support enterprise-wide initiatives focused on data accessibility, audit readiness, and reporting efficiency. * Influence technology decisions and recommend tools and frameworks to enhance the data ecosystem. Required Skills & Experience * Strong hands-on experience with: * SQL * Azure (Data Services) * Databricks * Snowflake * Proven experience building and scaling data platforms in cloud environments, specifically Snowflake. * Ability to design and implement end-to-end data pipelines and data warehouse solutions. * Experience defining data architecture, including data modeling, storage layers, and transformation strategies. * Strong understanding of data governance, quality, and integrity best practices. * Excellent communication skills with the ability to work directly with business stakeholders and leadership. * Experience driving architectural decisions and recommending technology solutions. * Ability to work with diverse data formats and structure them for analytics and reporting use cases. * Master's Degree required. Preferred Qualifications * Experience in property & casualty insurance or broader insurance domain. * Familiarity with Guidewire data environments and modernization efforts. * Exposure to Kafka, Apache Spark, or similar distributed data processing tools. * Experience collaborating with architects and contributing to high-level solution design. Work Environment * Hybrid work environment (no regular onsite requirement; occasional in-person collaboration encouraged). * 37.5-hour work week (Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM CST). * Collaborative team structure with high visibility and leadership interaction. * Opportunity to influence a growing data engineering function and mentor junior talent. * Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship. Why This Opportunity Stands Out * Direct impact on building a next-generation enterprise data platform from the ground up. * Opportunity to lead strategic data initiatives within a large, stable organization. * High level of ownership and influence over tools, architecture, and engineering direction. * Supportive environment with a focus on professional development and innovation.
