You will shift left to truly understand our stakeholders’ needs and act as their voice in the development process.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing:\nEngaging with our stakeholders at the earliest possible stage to understand what they need from our data applications.\nTogether with our product owners converting those needs into unambiguous and testable requirements.\nDeveloping automated tests to ensure our code delivers to those requirements and regression is not introduced by future development.\nBuilding, expanding and improving automation frameworks to ensure our testing is effective and efficient.\nCollaborating with data engineers in your squad to help them deliver quality code, and with quality engineers across the practice to ensure our test coverage is coherent and comprehensive.\nParticipating in code reviews for data and quality engineers with a continuous improvement mindset.\nBalancing a meticulous attention to detail where it matters with a risk-based approach to ensure we deliver quality outcomes at high velocity.\nBuilding a culture of quality where everyone takes ownership of producing quality outputs in a psychologically safe environment.\nEssential Skills:\nConfidence, ability and desire to shift left and truly understand what quality means for our business.\nDeep familiarity with behavior-driven-development approaches including the Cucumber/Gherkin syntax for test scenarios\nExperience working using a modern test automation approach. You will be an SDET who writes code to ensure quality outcomes.\nExcellent knowledge of and proven experience with Python testing frameworks particularly pytest.\nGood knowledge of SQL and ideally of dbt.\nHands-on experience working with modern cloud data lakehouse technologies e.g. Databricks (preferred) or Snowflake.\nExperience collaborating with technical and non-technical team members in agile Scrum ceremonies - roadmap planning, feature workshops, backlog elaboration, code review.\nDesirable Skills:\nBeyond the required skills we are open to individuals of diverse talents.

We want to know how your unique abilities can contribute to our team.\nOur Technology:\nWe operate in a diverse technical landscape and are looking for flexible engineers who can adapt to and use many different tools. We would not expect any engineer to be familiar with the entire tech stack - no engineer can. Instead, we seek people with a good understanding of data structures and algorithms and the ability to apply this knowledge in learning new tools.\nWe have built a modern cloud data platform to realise the full value of our data. It is based on Databricks and use dbt for transformation. We surface data for use by analysts working primarily in PowerBI.\nWe use pytest for unit testing and would like to expand to using it for end-to-end testing with a BDD approach. Much of our business logic is in dbt so we use built in components and extensions to ensure quality there. We use Azure Pipelines to integrate our testing with our CI/CD.\nWe are incorporating AI into our practice using tools like Claude Code. We are experimenting widely to identify opportunities for our engineers to deliver more value, more quickly using a variety of technologies.\nOur technology landscape is not complete. Our engineering teams will be able and required to help us build out our technology stack to fill gaps and embrace new opportunities.\nWhat We Offer:\nCompetitive salary and bonus (based on personal & company performance) \n401(k) with competitive company matching \nComprehensive health insurance, vision, dental and FSA plans (medical, limited purpose, and dependent care) \nCompany paid group term life, short- term disability and long-term disability coverage \nPaid parental leave \n4 week paid sabbatical after every 5 years of service \nFinancial Adoption Assistance and Medical Travel Reimbursement Programs \nAnnual reimbursement up to $600 for health club membership or fees associated with any fitness program \nRecipient of 2024 Cigna’s Well-Being Award for having a best-in-class health and wellness program \nDynamic, creative and values-driven culture \nModern and open office spaces, complimentary drinks \nSalary: $120-$160k\nThe actual salary for this position will be determined by a number of factors, including the scope, complexity and location of the role; the skills, education, training, credentials and experience of the candidate; and other conditions of employment.\n**Please note that this position is hybrid and requires two (2) days in our office weekly**\nAbout Hiscox USA:\nHiscox USA was established in 2006 to focus on the needs underserved and specialty commercial clients via both the regional broker and direct distribution channels and is today the fastest-growing business unit within the Hiscox Group.\nToday, Hiscox USA has a talent force of about 400 employees mostly operating out of 6 major cities.
