Data Engineer

About the role

We're looking for a Data Engineer to build and maintain the pipelines that power analytics and data products across Chubb. You'll design ETL/ELT workflows on Databricks, turn raw source data into reliable, well-modeled datasets, and keep those pipelines fast and cost-efficient as data volumes grow.

This role suits someone who is comfortable owning a pipeline end to end — from ingestion through transformation to the tables analysts and data scientists actually query.

What you'll do

- Design, build, and maintain batch and streaming ETL/ELT pipelines using Python, SQL, and PySpark on Databricks. - Model data across raw, cleansed, and curated layers (medallion architecture) with Delta Lake. - Ingest data from a range of sources — relational databases, APIs, files, and event streams — including incremental and change data capture patterns. - Tune Spark jobs and SQL queries for performance and cost: partitioning, file sizing and compaction, caching, join strategies, and shuffle reduction. - Build data quality checks, validation rules, and monitoring so problems are caught before downstream consumers see them. - Orchestrate and schedule workflows (Databricks Workflows, Airflow, or similar), with proper retry, alerting, and dependency handling. - Apply software engineering practices to data work: version control, code review, testing, and CI/CD for pipeline deployments. - Partner with analysts, data scientists, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into usable data models. - Document pipelines, data lineage, and design decisions.

Required qualifications

- [3]+ years of experience in a data engineering or comparable role. - Strong Python for data processing, automation, and pipeline development. - Advanced SQL: complex joins, window functions, aggregations, and query optimization. - Hands-on experience with Databricks and PySpark in a production environment. - Demonstrated experience designing and operating ETL/ELT pipelines at scale. - Practical knowledge of performance optimization — able to diagnose a slow or expensive job and explain what you changed and why. - Solid understanding of data warehousing and modeling concepts (dimensional modeling, slowly changing dimensions, normalization trade-offs). - Experience with Git and collaborative development workflows.

Nice to have

- Delta Lake internals: OPTIMIZE, Z-ordering, liquid clustering, time travel, VACUUM. - Databricks features such as Unity Catalog, Delta Live Tables / Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, Auto Loader, or Databricks SQL. - Cloud platform experience ([AWS / Azure / GCP]) and its storage and compute services. - Streaming experience with Structured Streaming, Kafka, or Event Hubs. - Infrastructure as code (Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines for data workloads. - dbt or similar transformation frameworks. - Databricks certification (Data Engineer Associate or Professional). - Familiarity with data governance, access control, and PII handling.
