Data Engineer

Chubb's PRS Data Science team builds data pipelines and analytical solutions that power predictive models directly supporting our insurance products and business partners. We operate in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where engineers own work end-to-end—from ingestion and transformation to delivery of production-ready datasets consumed by data scientists and decision-makers across the organization.

We are looking for an early to mid-career Data Engineer who is passionate about building reliable, scalable pipelines and who thrives at the intersection of engineering and business impact.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain production ETL pipelines for predictive modeling workloads.
• Develop and optimize PySpark jobs on Databricks, ensuring performance and reliability at scale.
• Write complex, well-structured SQL for data transformation, validation, and reporting across SQL Server, Synapse Analytics, and Snowflake.
• Collaborate with data scientists to understand data requirements and translate them into robust engineering solutions.
• Monitor pipeline health, troubleshoot failures, and implement improvements to data quality and observability.
• Document data flows, schemas, and pipeline logic to maintain institutional knowledge.
• Present project progress, architecture decisions, and results to business stakeholders in a clear, concise manner.
• Partner with platform and cloud engineering teams on Azure infrastructure and Databricks workspace management.

Technical Skills

• Python: Expert-level proficiency; strong command of data engineering libraries (pandas, PySpark, SQLAlchemy), code quality practices, and packaging.
• SQL: Expert-level; able to write complex analytical queries, window functions, CTEs, and performance-tune queries across multiple platforms.
• Apache Spark / PySpark: Comfortable developing and debugging distributed data processing jobs; understands Spark execution model and optimization basics.
• Databricks: Hands-on experience with notebooks, Delta Lake, Jobs/Workflows, and cluster configuration.
• Azure: Working experience with core Azure data services (Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Synapse Analytics, or equivalent).
• SQL Server & Synapse Analytics: Experience querying and loading data; understanding of schema design and indexing strategies.
• Snowflake: Practical experience with Snowflake warehousing, data loading patterns, and role-based access.
• Windows: Comfortable working in a Windows-based development environment.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• 2-4 years of professional experience in a data engineering, analytics engineering, or software engineering role with a significant data focus.

Soft Skills

• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to present technical concepts to non-technical business audiences.
• Collaborative team player who engages proactively with data scientists, analysts, and business partners.
• Detail-oriented with a bias toward clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced delivery environment.

Nice To Have

• CLI tools: Familiarity with shell scripting, command-line data tools, and working in Linux environments.
• Version control: Experience with Git-based workflows in a team setting.
• Orchestration: Exposure to workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Apache Airflow, Azure Data Factory pipelines, Databricks Workflows).
• Insurance / financial services domain: Prior experience in a regulated industry is a plus but not required.
• CI/CD: Familiarity with automated testing and deployment pipelines for data assets.
