Job Information
CSAA Insurance Group (CSAA IG), a AAA insurer, is one of the leading personal lines property and casualty insurance groups in the United States. Here, every employee shapes our mission. We build innovative, human-centered solutions that help AAA members prevent, prepare for, and recover from life's uncertainties. You will join a collaborative, inclusive culture where your strengths have room to grow and your ideas can drive real impact. Step into a role where you can contribute to our shared success through meaningful work.
We are actively hiring for a Software Engineer III, Data Platform Operations - Remote.
Your Role: As a Software Engineer III - Data Platform Operations, you will develop, deliver, and support software and automation that strengthen the reliability and operational readiness of the organization's enterprise data platforms. Using established DevOps, DataOps, Agile, and software engineering practices, you will help maintain scalable, observable, and well-governed data services that support business intelligence, analytics, regulatory reporting, customer data exchanges, and operational decision-making.

You will work mostly independently within a collaborative team, contribute technical expertise, and serve as a go-to resource for design, implementation, and troubleshooting within your assigned areas.
Your Work: You will work across a diverse enterprise data ecosystem that includes cloud and on-premises platforms, data warehouses, data lakes, ETL/ELT pipelines, streaming technologies, data integration platforms, orchestration tools, metadata and governance solutions, and emerging AI-enabled data capabilities. You will collaborate with Software Engineers, QA Engineers, Technical Analysts, Solution Architects, Data Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, Governance, Analytics, and Business teams to support production workloads, improve data availability and quality, and reliably deliver data products and services.
