Position Overview

We’re searching for a Senior Staff Data Engineer to remotely join our IVANS team.

Partner closely with engineering, product, and domain experts to ensure data systems align with real-world insurance workflows, are usable and trusted by stakeholders, and meet strategic business objectives

Collaborate with internal teams on integration with ACORD data standards and canonical insurance models

Own delivery of ETL/ELT pipelines, participate in platform-level architectural design, and mentor teammates on cloud-native data infrastructure
