Insurance Experience (Non-Negotiable)
-
5+ years working with insurance data in a carrier, TPA, MGA, broker, or insurance-tech environment.

-
Familiarity with workers' compensation and/or general liability claims data specifically — jurisdictional rules, body parts, ICD/CPT codes, NCCI class codes, etc.
-
Comfortable with insurance financial concepts: paid vs incurred, case reserves vs IBNR, loss development, reinsurance recoveries, deductibles, SIRs, and aggregate stop-loss.
Technical
-
8+ years total professional data engineering experience.
-
Expert SQL — window functions, recursive CTEs, query tuning, execution plans. You should be able to look at a slow query and know where it's going to hurt.
-
Strong Python for data work (pandas, PySpark, SQLAlchemy, plus general-purpose Python — APIs, testing, packaging).
-
Production experience with at least one modern cloud data warehouse (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Synapse, or Redshift).

Solid experience with an orchestration tool
-
Comfortable with one or more ELT tools

-
Git, CI/CD, code review as a normal part of how you work.
Other
-
Bachelor's degree in CS, MIS, math, statistics, or equivalent experience. We care more about what you can do than where you went to school.
-
Clear written and verbal communication. You'll be talking to actuaries, claims VPs, and clients — not just other engineers.
-
You can work independently in a remote-first environment without anyone hovering.
Preferred Experience:
-
Direct experience with TPA platforms.
-
Experience with EDI claims reporting (IAIABC formats), Medicare Section 111 reporting, or state-specific filings.
-
Exposure to actuarial reserving software and the data structures they consume.
-
Experience with medical bill review data and PPO/network logic.
-
Streaming/event experience — Kafka, Kinesis, Event Hubs, Debezium.
-
ML/feature-engineering experience supporting predictive models (claim severity, litigation propensity, fraud, return-to-work).
-
Experience with HIPAA, SOC 2, or similar compliance regimes — claims data is regulated, and you should be comfortable working inside those guardrails.
-
Prior TPA, self-insured group, or public entity pool experience.
