BUSINESS UNIT

We are building a next-generation, data-driven Insurtech Claims Accommodations Platform designed to unify fragmented data ecosystems across products, geographies, and operational systems into a single scalable, intelligent data core. Today, the customers’ data landscape is distributed across operational databases, third-party accommodation APIs, claims management systems, and analytics pipelines — limiting our ability to generate real-time insights, deploy predictive models, and operationalize AI at scale.

This is a cornerstone hire that will define and execute our long-term data-reporting capability and AI strategy, working directly with the core Insurtech team.

POSITION

We are currently looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join our team of dedicated professionals. You will build AI Agents to build and run the data pipelines, models, and AI Automation Agents. Architect and build the data infrastructure that powers a claims accommodations.

CHALLENGE

1. Data Warehouse & Lakehouse Architecture

Design and implement a cloud-native data warehouse on infrastructure stack primarily on Azure / Fabric and a structured data lake on Onelake . Implement dimensional data models optimized for claims analytics, cost reporting, and executive dashboards, both for internal and external customer facing.\
Establish data governance policies — data lineage, cataloguing (Purview / Glue), access controls, and PII masking for compliance

2. Data Pipelines & Real-Time Ingestion

Architect and build end-to-end ELT/ETL pipelines ingesting from claims management systems legacy sources (ODBC/SRSS), accommodation APIs (booking platforms, hotel aggregators), policy engines, and hosted operational CRMs
Implement streaming data pipelines to capture real-time claims events, accommodation availability updates, and pricing signals
Build batch ingestion pipelines and orchestrate using Azure Data Factory. Deploy dbt (data build tool) for modular, version-controlled data transformation layers with automated data quality testing
Develop and optimise CDC (Change Data Capture) pipelines from operational PostgreSQL / SQL Server databases

3. Predictive Models & Machine Learning Infrastructure

Build ML-ready feature stores (AWS SageMaker Feature Store) to serve real-time and batch model features.
Develop predictive models for: claims accommodation cost forecasting, length-of-stay prediction, accommodation supplier risk scoring, and demand surge detection
Implement MLOps pipelines for model training, versioning, deployment, and monitoring using MLflow and CI/CD frameworks
Operationalize model outputs back into the claims platform via REST APIs and feature pipelines for real-time decisioning

4. AI / LLM Enablement & Agentic Workflows

Architect vector databases (in Azure)) and build RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines over claims and policy documents
Enable LLM-powered workflows for automated claims summarization, accommodation recommendation, and SLA breach prediction
Build agentic AI systems that autonomously monitor claims pipelines, trigger re-routing logic, and surface anomalies to adjusters
Integrate structured and unstructured data into unified AI-ready datasets for continuous model improvement

FOR THIS EXCITING MISSION YOU ARE EQUIPPED WITH...

Technical Requirements:

Data Warehouse & Lakehouse Design: AWS Redshift, Onelake, Azure Synapse, Expert in dimensional modelling, Star schemas, and data vault design for insurance data domains.
Data Pipeline Engineering: Azure Data Factory, AWS Glue . Experience building production-grade ELT/ETL and CDC pipelines from complex, heterogeneous source systems.
