Senior Data Engineer

Pie's mission is to empower small businesses to thrive by making commercial insurance affordable and as easy as pie. We leverage technology to transform how small businesses buy and experience commercial insurance. Like our small business customers, we are a diverse team of builders, dreamers, and entrepreneurs who are driven by core values and operating principles that guide every decision we make. This is a hands-on engineering role — you'll be writing production Python and SQL, building Airflow DAGs, and contributing to our Data Vault 2.0 warehouse alongside a team of staff engineers. You'll work on the data infrastructure that powers how Pie quotes, underwrites, and services small business insurance customers. The pipelines and models you build feed everything from pricing to financial reporting, which means correctness and reliability matter. You'll be expected to develop deep domain expertise in insurance and the Pie business over time. Engineers who succeed here understand premium, loss, and policy lifecycle as well as they understand Snowflake.
