What you will bring

  • Strong SQL and Python skills.
  • Hands-on experience developing data pipelines and integrating with AWS.
  • Experience working with structured and unstructured data for analytics, AI or digital applications.
  • Practical knowledge of data quality, metadata and lineage.
  • Experience working with insurance data and processes is essential.

Preferred: Experience with insurance data models, lakehouse environments, insurance technology and a major Chinese cloud platform.
