Senior Data Engineer

Senior Data Engineer | London | Specialty Insurance

Invecta is working exclusively with a specialty insurer to build out a data engineering and AI transformation team. The Senior Data Engineer will help design, deliver and embed modern data engineering and analytics capability within the pricing and analytics function.

This is a high-impact role, central to the organisation's ambition to become a genuinely data-driven business, where analytical insight underpins pricing, portfolio analytics and wider business decision-making.

The successful candidate will operate as an embedded member of a small, senior pricing and analytics team, with a particular focus on the Snowflake data platform, hands‑on delivery, and the ongoing development of team capability.

The work centres on Snowflake: the ETL pipelines, analytical datasets, dashboards and APIs that pricing actuaries and analysts rely on, plus proofs of concept for what's next.

Candidate Requirements

• Hands‑on data engineering experience, ideally including exposure to Snowflake or a comparable cloud data platform.
• A pragmatic, delivery‑focused mindset, paired with genuine curiosity about modern data technologies.
• Comfortable operating within an embedded team model with evolving priorities, rather than a fixed, long‑range plan.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with stakeholders from both technical and business backgrounds.
• A proactive approach to knowledge sharing, coaching and capability building.
• Experience operating within the insurance domain is essential to be considered for this position.

This is a permanent, hybrid role based in London (City), requiring office attendance multiple days per week.
