The Lead Data Engineer will develop and maintain a data platform, create data pipelines, ensure infrastructure support, and provide governance for stakeholders' data needs.
CFC is on a journey to be a leader in data driven insurance. We are a leader in automated cyber insurance and will use data more and more as the bedrock of our business. In order to support this we are building a single data platform which will enable us to collect, share and use data across our business and with many user communities. This data platform will initially be used to support MDM requirements and over time will expand to provide core capability for leveraging data across our organisation. In order to support this initiative, we are looking to hire a Data Engineer who will play a significant role in delivering this capability.
Beyond the immediate use cases around the data platform, there are ample opportunities to influence the data approach to CFC and pioneer new initiatives to support the companies goals. We expect this role to be a mixture of hands-on development work and strategic thinking.
