Senior Staff Infrastructure Engineer - IEB07BE

We’re determined to make a difference and are proud to be an insurance company that goes well beyond coverages and policies. Working here means having every opportunity to achieve your goals – and to help others accomplish theirs, too. Join our team as we help shape the future.

We are seeking a Senior Staff Infrastructure Engineer with deep Oracle and Exadata expertise, a strong engineering mindset, and hands-on experience with infrastructure as code, cloud automation, and AWS. This role will modernize resilient database platforms, establish reusable engineering standards, reduce manual work, and help the broader team scale.

The ideal candidate treats infrastructure as software through automation, version control, testing, peer review, and clear documentation. As a senior technical leader, this person will solve complex challenges, mentor engineers, and apply AI as a responsible productivity accelerator while retaining ownership of technical decisions and production outcomes.

This role will have a Hybrid work schedule, with the expectation of working in an office location (Hartford, CT; Chicago, IL; Columbus, OH; and Charlotte, NC) 3 days a week (Tuesday through Thursday).
