We’re looking for a technically sharp and business-savvy Senior Data Engineer to help shape and scale the data strategy of a high-growth, VC backed Tech company reshaping the insurance experience.

You’ll be joining a data-led team already delivering big things and now they’re building on that momentum.

You'll be the right-hand person to the GM of Data, taking ownership of technical decisions and delivery across their Data Platform (Snowflake) and BI architecture. It’s a hands-on leadership role with a chance to flex your already impressive skills in AWS, Snowflake, dbt, and Python—while leading a team of experienced data engineers through big transformations.

We're specifically looking for Snowflake experience for this role.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to step into a Lead role as they progress, leading a team of x2 Data Engineers.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading a team of 3 senior data engineers, providing technical coaching, 1:1s, and day-to-day support.
• Taking ownership of technical decisions across their BI environment—data pipelines, transformation logic, and feature development.
• Designing and scaling their AWS-hosted data platform, including Snowflake fundamentals like Snowpipes, Stages, and Integration.
• Leading data governance conversations and designing access strategies that match our modern, self-serve environment.
• Championing SQL, Python and modern ELT practices (dbt) while continuously improving the platform and feature set.
• Playing a pivotal role in data strategy including approvals, proposals, and strategic planning.
• Driving the implementation of new AI initiatives and integrating them into business workflows (think: SQL-generation, testing, validation, dbt/Snowflake pipelines).
• Supporting cross-functional squads (FE, BE, DE, PMs) across 4 product streams, helping align data capabilities with business needs.

What You Bring:

• Strong hands-on experience in cloud data platforms—especially AWS and Snowflake.
• Deep knowledge of modern ELT tools—particularly dbt and Python-built pipelines.
• SQL master—you can write and debug complex queries in your sleep.
• Strategic thinker with experience designing and scaling cloud-based data environments.
• Confident decision-maker who can challenge ideas, make the call, and rally a team.
• Team leadership experience (small teams, up to 5 people) with a focus on coaching and mentoring senior engineers.
• Comfortable in business conversations—able to speak the language of product teams, software development teams and translate ideas into roadmaps.
• Bonus points if you’ve dabbled in AI/ML, especially tools that enable self-serve data capabilities.
