When a business needs coverage that is custom and complex, its broker comes to us, and our underwriters give them an answer, often in hours rather than weeks.\nWe built our technology from scratch, with AI in it from the first line of code. The technology helps price the risk; the underwriter uses their judgment to decide. There are always two hands on the wheel.\nWe are insurance industry insiders, and we eat our own cooking: Ledgebrook writes the policy and shares the risk through our own carrier, Ledgebrook Specialty, rated A- (Excellent) by AM Best. We work exclusively through wholesale brokers.\nOur vision: to make the wheels of insurance spin faster.\nAt Ledgebrook, everything we do is driven by our culture: Care, Strive, Thrive Together. To succeed in modernizing the industry, we must first succeed in changing the way we do business. Talent density is our north star-fewer, better people working together as one. To that end we’ve replaced all individual incentives with generous equity packages-we play as a team, we win as a team. Everyone benefits handsomely from Ledgebrook’s success.\nAbout the Role\nWe're seeking a Staff Data and Analytics Engineer who operates at the intersection of deep technical craft and organizational leverage. You'll set the technical direction for our data platform, raise the bar for how we build, and make everyone around you more effective.\nYou'll own the architecture, establish the standards others build on, and drive outcomes that span engineering, actuarial, finance, and product. When something is broken or missing, you're the one who identifies it, proposes the solution, and sees it through.\nYou'll work in a modern data stack with python, Airflow, dbt, Terraform, and Snowflake. Your decisions will shape how we scale underwriting intelligence, pricing models, and operational infrastructure for years.\nWhat You’ll Do:\nArchitect the Data Platform - Own the end-to-end design of our data infrastructure. Make the foundational calls on pipeline architecture, data modeling patterns, and platform evolution across Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, and Terraform.\nDefine Engineering Standards - Establish and enforce practices around data quality, testing, observability, and deployment that the rest of the team builds on. Your patterns become the defaults.\nEnable Data-Driven Decisions at Scale - Design semantic layers and data models complex enough to support underwriting, finance, and executive strategy. Simple enough that analysts can use them without hand-holding.\nDrive Data Governance - Own the governance posture: data contracts, SLAs, lineage, and documentation. Make trusted data a property of the system, not a manual effort.\nShape the ML and AI Foundation - Partner with data science and engineering leadership to ensure the platform supports advanced analytics, ML pipelines, and AI initiatives.\nElevate the Team - Mentor engineers, conduct rigorous code and design reviews, and actively close skill gaps. Your leverage is measured in part by how much better the people around you get.\nPartner at the Leadership Level - Engage directly with actuarial, underwriting, finance, and product leaders to translate business complexity into technical roadmap. You're a peer to stakeholders, not a ticket-taker.\nAbout you\nWe love working with people who are eager to learn constantly and genuinely excited about the chaotic, rewarding process of building a company from the ground up.\nYou’ll be a great fit if you bring:\nA Strong Moral Compass: You believe in doing the right thing, period. We have a strict zero-tolerance policy for toxic behaviors\nCustomer-First Empathy: You are passionate about delivering an exceptional experience to everyone you work with, both inside and outside the company\nIntellectual Curiosity: You naturally question the status quo and love finding innovative ways to solve problems\nA Growth Mindset: You possess a hunger for continuous learning and want to constantly expand your skillset\nUrgency & Prioritization: You can pivot quickly and balance the need to get things right with the speed of getting them done right now\nA Solution-Oriented Outlook: When things go wrong, you don't look for blame-you immediately focus on how to fix it\nTransparent Communication: You value honesty, clarity, and open feedback\nTeam-First Energy: You want to win together as a high-performing team and actively build connections across our remote locations\nRequirements\nMust Haves:\n10+ years of experience in data engineering or analytics engineering\nExpert-level command of Python and SQL, with a history of production systems that others maintain and build on.\nDeep hands-on experience with Airflow, dbt, Terraform, and Snowflake (or equivalents) in production environments.\nDemonstrated ability to own platform architecture decisions end-to-end: design, tradeoffs, delivery, and iteration.\nTrack record of driving cross-functional alignment on technical direction without relying on positional authority.\nExperience building and enforcing data quality, observability, and governance frameworks at scale.\nComfort operating in high-ambiguity environments where you define the path, not just walk it.\nNice to Have\nExperience in insurance, fintech, or other regulated domains.\nFamiliarity with Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or other BI tools.\nExperience designing for compliance and data governance requirements (SOC 2, CCPA, etc.).\nPrior experience building data infrastructure at a high-growth startup for growth stage.\nTech Stack:\nLanguages: Python, SQL\nData Stack: Snowflake, dbt, Apache Airflow (AWS MWAA)\nCloud Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform\nTools: GitHub, Jira, Confluence, Slack\nBenefits\nU.S & Canada Benefits\nFull remote flexibility and asynchronous work culture.\nUnlimited PTO and fully paid sick leave.\nComprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus HSA and FSA options.\nAdditional financial protection and retirement benefits, including a 401(k), company-paid life insurance, and disability coverage.\nPoland Benefits:\nCompletely remote, flexible schedule, and monthly coworking gatherings\nFully paid LuxMed Family package\nAccess to the Helping Hand platform, including therapy sessions\nUnlimited paid time off\nFor Candidates Applying From The U.S. and Canada:\nPlease note: This position is open only to candidates who are authorized to work in the United States or Canada without the need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization.
