Federato is on a mission to defend the right to efficient, equitable insurance for all. We enable insurers to provide affordable coverage to people and organizations facing the issues of today - the climate crisis, cyber-attacks, social inflation, etc. Our vision is understood and well funded by those behind Salesforce, Veeva, Zoom, Box, etc.
Federato is the only AI-native platform that spans the full policy lifecycle and changes the way insurance work gets done. Better decisioning is built-in, not bolted on: insurers' unique portfolio goals, strategies, rules, and appetite are part of the workflow so underwriters win the right deals, faster. From the moment a submission hits an underwriter’s inbox, AI is put to work, triaging submissions with a focus on high-appetite business, delivering real-time feedback on the portfolio, and consolidating workflows into a single proven system. Federato drives better business outcomes.
Role Overview
You’ll be joining a small, high-impact data engineering team within Federato’s AI/ML organization.

We collaborate closely with ML, analytics, and product teams to ensure data and tooling are reliable, scalable, and aligned with the needs of our AI-native platform.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Collaborate with Data Science, Product Managers and Software Engineers to build robust ETL pipelines that enable the Product Support team to deliver compelling user-facing features

- Contribute to a scalable internal framework for managing prompt engineering pipelines and other AI workflows.
- Enforce and elevate engineering best practices across the AI/ML org, including code quality, testing, and documentation.
Who We Hope You Are:
- 5+ years of experience in data engineering, backend engineering, or related roles with a focus on data infrastructure.
- Proven experience designing and maintaining scalable data pipelines (e.g., using Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect).
- Experience with software development practices like version control, CI/CD, or dbt testing strategies.
- Strong proficiency in SQL and Python, with bonus points for Typescript (or similar) experience
- Comfort working with version control, CI/CD systems, and cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP, Terraform).
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and working closely with business stakeholders to understand their data needs.
- Proven track record of designing high-impact data products and pipelines in fast-paced environments.
Bonus Points for:
