GEICO's Independent Agent organization runs an enterprise-scale messaging automation platform that powers customer email and SMS across sales, service, and claims journeys. We're looking for a hands-on data/software engineer to build the instrumentation and event pipelines that feed campaign and journey triggers - especially where the data doesn't exist yet. You'll work directly with CRM/marketing automation engineering and campaign operations teams to make audience and event data available, reliable, and easy to use.

What You'll Build

• Instrumentation and event pipelines that generate audience/trigger data for CRM and marketing automation platforms where it doesn't already exist
• Batch and streaming ETL/ELT pipelines connecting campaign, CRM, and customer data across multiple sources
• REST API integrations between internal data systems and CRM/marketing automation platforms
• Data quality checks and monitoring to keep campaign-critical pipelines reliable at scale

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years building data tools/pipelines in Python, Scala, or similar languages
• 7+ years working in SQL against enterprise data warehouses (Snowflake, Databricks, or similar)
• 5+ years building ETL/ELT pipelines (batch or streaming) from files, databases, and APIs
• 5+ years working with cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and DevOps practices
• Comfort integrating systems via REST APIs
• BA/BS in Computer Science, Information Technology, Mathematics, Engineering, or related field

How You'll Work

• Strong organizational and prioritization skills; comfortable following complex, multi-step instructions and resolving conflicting priorities
• Able to juggle multiple concurrent projects without losing track of details
• Quick to pick up new technical concepts and adapt to new tools and technologies
• Familiar with infrastructure tooling and able to work within established engineering standards and processes
• Comfortable mentoring or training teammates on systems you own
• Clear, concise communicator - able to explain technical work to both engineering and business stakeholders
• Comfortable working under pressure and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with CRM/marketing automation SaaS platforms (e.g., Microsoft Dynamics, Statsig, Azure Data Factory, Snowflake)
• Exposure to AI-assisted development tools
