Think space shuttles, world tours, wind farms, and even footballers’ legs.\nKi’s mission is simple. Digitally disrupt and revolutionise a 335-year-old market. Working with Google and UCL, Ki has created a platform that uses algorithms, machine learning and large language models to give insurance brokers quotes in seconds, rather than days.\nKi is proudly the biggest global algorithmic insurance carrier. It is the fastest growing syndicate in the Lloyd's of London market, and the first ever to make $100m in profit in 3 years.\nKi’s teams have varied backgrounds and work together in an agile, cross-functional way to build the very best experience for its customers. Ki has big ambitions but needs more excellent minds to challenge the status-quo and help it reach new horizons.\nWhere you come in?\nYou'll join our commercial performance insights squad to tackle some of our most critical challenges in monitoring the commercial performance of our algorithmically underwritten insurance business in real time.\nWe're upgrading the foundation that captures algorithm decision data, moving from database logging to a versioned event stream with purpose-built views for each customer use case. This will unlock faster, more reliable insights across our customer-facing products.\nWith the growing adoption of our Monte Carlo simulation engine, we can understand the impact of changes to our algorithmic underwriting before they're released, as well as stress-test changing market conditions. You'll have the chance to dive deep into insurance domain modelling problems alongside data engineering.\nYou'll work in an agile, cross-functional squad close to the people who consume what we build, helping us shape our engineering culture.\nWhat you will be doing:\nWork with actuaries, data scientists and engineers to design, build, optimise and maintain production grade data pipelines to feed the Ki algorithm\nWork with actuaries, data scientists and engineers to understand how we can make best use of new internal and external data sources\nWork with data architects to design and engineer data models and supporting infrastructure which can support our ambitions for growth and scale\nCreate frameworks, infrastructure and systems to manage and govern Ki’s data asset\nWork with the broader Engineering community to develop our data and MLOps capability infrastructure\nRequirements\nStrong experience in software engineering with proficiency in a language such as Python for API development, data engineering and automation tasks\nA background in working with storage solutions such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and BigQuery\nExperience in API development using tools such as FastAPI or Flask, enabling data access and integration across systems\nHands-on experience with dbt or Dataform, building modular, tested data models\nExperience orchestrating data pipelines with a modern orchestrator such as Dagster, Airflow, or Prefect\nSolid knowledge of cloud platforms (GCP and/or AWS), with the ability to design and deploy data solutions at scale\nExperience with IAC and CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliable, repeatable, and automated deployments\nAn understanding of data modelling, ETL/ELT processes, and best practices for data quality and governance\nCollaborative mindset, with the ability to work closely with stakeholders such as Exposure Management, Portfolio Management, and Data Science\nCuriosity, adaptability, and enthusiasm for working in an agile, squad-based environment\nDesirable Skills:\nExperience working with large, complex, and siloed data estates, with a track record of simplifying and streamlining processes\nA foundation in system design, with the ability to architect scalable, maintainable, and resilient data systems\nBenefits\nYou’ll get a highly competitive remuneration and benefits package. This is kept under constant review to make sure it stays relevant. We understand the power of saying thank you and take time to acknowledge and reward extraordinary effort by teams or individuals.\nWhat to expect during the recruitment process:\nInitial recruiter screening call\nInterview with hiring manager\nTechnical Interview (this may vary depending on the role)\nValues Interview","description_format":"text","description_chars":4255,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Property & Casualty Insurance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-04T00:00:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.335,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":74,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ki-data-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ki-data-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T16:01:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21805,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":51448},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=51448"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fki-data-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fki-data-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fki-data-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ki-data-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fki-data-engineer"}]}
