Job description

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.

Protective is looking for Data Engineers to design, build, and operate production data pipelines on Voyager, our Databricks lakehouse on Azure. You will own the end-to-end flow of data through a medallion architecture — ingesting source data into the Bronze layer, applying cleansing, validation, and conformance in Silver, and publishing trusted, consumption-ready data products in Gold.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, analytics, and platform operations. You will write production-grade Python and SQL, enforce data contracts, and help Protective treat data as a product with named owners and real consumers. You will be embedded on a delivery pod that owns its data products end to end, rather than servicing tickets from a queue.

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.
