Protective, Birmingham, AL +2
Protective is looking for a Lead Data Engineer to set the technical direction for a delivery pod building data products on Voyager, our Databricks lakehouse on Azure. You will lead the design of data products through the full medallion architecture — Bronze ingestion, Silver conformance, and Gold consumption — and be accountable for whether those products hold up for the consumers who depend on them.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a people-management or project-management role. You will still write and review production code daily. What you own is how the pod’s data products are designed, modeled, contracted, and tested, and the standard the pod holds itself to. The Product Owner owns the backlog and the Scrum Master owns the sprint; you own the engineering.
On Voyager, the medallion layers are named Raw, Prep, and Prod. They map directly to Bronze, Silver, and Gold and are used interchangeably in this description.
We aim to protect the wellbeing of our employees and their families with a broad benefits offering. In addition to offering comprehensive health, dental and vision insurance, we support emotional wellbeing through mental health benefits and an employee assistance program. Work/life balance is important and Protective offers a variety of paid time away benefits (e.g., paid time off, paid parental leave, short-term disability, and a cultural observance day).
The financial health of our employees is just as important as physical and emotional health. Some of the financial wellbeing benefits include contributions to healthcare accounts, a pension plan, and a 401(k) plan with Company matching. All employees are encouraged to protect their overall wellbeing by engaging in ProHealth Rewards, Protective’s platform to improve wellbeing while earning cash rewards.
Eligibility for certain benefits may vary by position in accordance with the terms of the Company’s benefit plans.
The work we do has an impact on millions of lives, and you can be a part of it.
We help protect our customers against life’s uncertainties. Regardless of where you work within the company, you’ll be helping provide protection and peace of mind when our customers need it most.
