What the job involves

- Those successful will also be comfortable communicating with a wide range of individuals in understanding business requirements with respect to data
- Although reporting within the broader Insurance team, we work in a matrixed environment. The ability to collaborate and build trust with customers within and outside the Insurance team is important. This role will require the skill to complete intermediate tasks with minimal guidance from your leader
- Build, test, deploy, and manage end-to-end data pipelines from various sources to end user consumable data extracts
- Do the above using Obie’s current technologies and introducing new technologies as needed
- Build modeled data warehouse tables using the Data Vault 2.0 and Activity Schema models

- Use data quality solutions, tools, and capabilities to improve business value of the data
- Assist with the creation of business glossaries and data dictionaries, including (1) defining key metrics and dimensions used to evaluate the business and (2) maintenance of data metadata and lineage
Application process
- At Obie, transparency is core to our interview process. We focus on open communication and a positive experience; no trick questions—just honest conversations about your skills and aspirations. To help you prepare, please familiarize yourself with these resources before moving forward:
- Meet us and get to know Obie: You'll first talk to Kara on a 30-minute call to determine whether we’re a good fit for one another. You’ll learn more about Obie and have the chance to ask about our company, team, culture, and product
- Meet the hiring manager: Next, you'll have a 45-minute video interview with the hiring manager, Jeff White, to assess your technical skills for the role
- Complete a Project Exercise: This role requires strong planning, collaboration, and leadership skills, so we’ll ask you to complete a short exercise. We use technology beyond spreadsheets to access, organize, and analyze our data. Our two primary languages for data analysis are Python and SQL. Our primary data stores are AWS S3 Object Storage and PostgreSQL databases hosted in AWS. The exercise will evaluate your Python and SQL skills applied to a real life insurance problem. More details will come when you reach this step!
- Meet the Team: Since you'll be joining a close-knit team, we'll ask you to meet other people in the company so we get to know each other a bit better
Our take
