Data Scientist Junior jobs in United States

Data Engineer – Insurance Sector

Location: London (4 days per week in-office)
Type: Permanent
Salary: Competitive, with 20% pension contribution

We’re partnering with a specialist insurance business currently undergoing a significant data transformation. With a major focus on modernising its reporting and analytics infrastructure, there’s now an exciting opportunity for a Data Engineer to play a key role in shaping a modern, cloud-first data environment.

This is a hands-on engineering position within a business that is reimagining how it leverages data. The existing setup includes on-prem SQL Server, Excel-based claims processes, and reporting that leans heavily on SQL and VBA. Power BI is in use, though currently lacks structure and governance. While AWS is present, the forward-looking architecture is expected to centre around Azure and Microsoft Fabric.

You’ll work closely with teams across the business to deliver scalable, impactful data solutions that are aligned with real-world insurance and claims use cases.

• Establishing Data Governance and a comprehensive Data Catalogue

• Building modern, scalable data pipelines, especially around Lloyd’s of London data

• Developing a new cloud-native data architecture (Azure-focused)

• Evaluating and implementing suitable technologies for long-term scale and performance

• Defining and embedding best practices across the data function

The goal is to build a structured, user-friendly cloud environment that supports end-to-end data flows—from ingestion to reporting—and generates real business value. With a transformation already underway, this is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the strategy and direction of the Data Function from an early stage.

1. Informal conversation to explore fit and ambitions

2. In-person technical interview (including time with the Head of IT)

3. Final HR stage – includes a full overview of the benefits package

Key Benefits:

• Competitive salary

• 20% pension contribution

• Exposure to greenfield data architecture work

• Collaborative, transformation-focused culture

• Strong experience with SQL and modern data engineering practices

• Background in building and maintaining data pipelines

• Experience with cloud platforms (preferably Azure)

• Able to work across both legacy and modern data stacks

• Insurance sector knowledge is a bonus, but not required
