This role combines deep technical leadership with strategic business partnership as we build Lemonade's next-generation data stack.

We believe three things matter for every role at Lemonade: drive to push through challenges, efficiency that keeps standards high while moving fast, and adaptability that lets you pivot with data and AI insights. These aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work.

Our AI-first approach isn't just a tagline either. We're building the future of insurance with AI at the center, and we need people who are genuinely excited to learn and grow alongside these tools.

• Create and maintain sustainable data pipelines — build resilient systems capable of handling unstructured data and managing an evolving schema registry across diverse data sources

• Implement advanced data modeling — create robust data structures using methodologies like dimensional modeling, and optimize ETL/ELT processes for our semantic layer

• Establish data quality standards — build processes for schema evaluation, anomaly detection, and monitoring data completeness and freshness across all sources

• Lead cross-team collaboration — work directly with Data Engineers, ML Platform Engineers, Data Scientists, Analysts, and Product Managers to align technical solutions with business goals

What you'll need

• 7+ years as a BI Engineer or Data Engineer, with 2+ in a technical leadership or architect role

• Proven experience managing complex data warehouses that serve multiple products and entire organizations

• Strong expertise in data modeling, ELT development, and data warehouse methodologies

• Advanced SQL skills and hands-on experience with Snowflake or similar cloud-native data warehouse platforms
