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. How You’ll Do It
Develop complex and efficient data pipelines to transform raw data sources into reliable, well-tested components of our data models.
Design, build, and maintain data pipelines that deliver accurate, trusted data with the freshness our stakeholders depend on.
Make data modeling decisions within our Data Vault 2.0 warehouse that balance raw fidelity in the vault with the consumption patterns of downstream marts and analytics.
Administer and optimize Snowflake across warehouse sizing, query performance, access controls, RBAC and user/role management, and ongoing cost tuning.
Build and maintain resilient Airflow DAGs and CI/CD pipelines that make deployments predictable, repeatable, and safe to roll back.
Implement automated testing (unit, integration, and data quality) so issues are caught in CI before they reach production.
Own production observability through our internal tooling, tuning alerts, responding to incidents, and closing the loop from production issues back into pre-load validation and CI checks.
Leverage AI-powered tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Snowflake Cortex) as a core part of your development workflow to accelerate code generation, automate documentation, and improve code quality.
Work with stakeholders across Executive, Product, Engineering, and business teams to translate the "why" behind a request into a technical solution that meets the business need.
Lead technical projects end-to-end, scoping with stakeholders, documenting requirements, and explaining technical trade-offs without relying on a Product Manager.
