The posting

At MGIC, we take pride in knowing that what we do matters. As pioneers of private mortgage insurance, we help people achieve homeownership sooner - making affordable low-down-payment mortgages a reality. Our efforts have helped more than 14 million people get the keys to their own homes sooner than otherwise possible. Every position is critical to our company's success - from the analytical to the technical; from the innovative to the operational. The customer-facing roles to behind-the-scenes experts, we're all part of one team. We're an organization with a national footprint that's large enough to never lack for a new challenge, but small enough for an opportunity to make an impact and influence decisions. Come make a difference at MGIC.

Summary:

We’re building great things at MGIC, and we are excited to be offering this position. This is an opportunity help us create the next generation data platform. Becoming Data-driven is at the core of our transformation – join us and help us build the future!

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer who is passionate about building trusted, scalable data products with modern cloud technologies. As part of the Data & Analytics team, you will design and deliver a Snowflake-centered data platform, automate source-to-warehouse ingestion with Fivetran, develop analytics-ready transformations with dbt, and orchestrate production workflows with Astronomer and Apache Airflow.

Responsibilities:

  • Define and evolve data integration frameworks, engineering standards, reusable patterns, and governance practices for a modern cloud data platform.
  • Design scalable Snowflake data architectures, including databases, schemas, tables, views, virtual warehouses, role-based access, and approaches for performance and cost optimization.
  • Build and operate reliable batch and incremental ingestion pipelines using Fivetran connectors, including source configuration, schema-change handling, sync monitoring, troubleshooting, and custom connector patterns when needed.
  • Develop modular, maintainable dbt models in Snowflake; implement source definitions, tests, documentation, lineage, incremental strategies, and reusable macros.
  • Author, schedule, deploy, and monitor data workflows with Apache Airflow on Astronomer, applying effective dependency management, retry, alerting, backfill, and failure-recovery practices.
  • Implement observability and data-quality controls across ingestion, orchestration, and transformation layers so production data is accurate, timely, and available to stakeholders.
  • Partner with business, analytics, architecture, security, and engineering teams to translate requirements into durable data products and a long-term platform roadmap.
  • Deliver changes through Git-based development, automated testing, code review, and CI/CD practices across dbt and Airflow projects.
  • Troubleshoot data and pipeline issues across source systems, Fivetran, Astronomer, dbt, Snowflake, and downstream consumption layers.
  • Evaluate Cortex Code capabilities and lead the development of a practical adoption plan for incorporating AI-assisted engineering into solution delivery processes, including prioritized use cases, governance and security guardrails, developer workflows, enablement, success measures, and a phased rollout.
  • Lead design and code reviews, share engineering best practices, and mentor junior data engineers.

Required skills:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or relevant experience.
  • 5 or more years of data engineering experience, including cloud data warehousing, dimensional data modeling, ETL/ELT, analytics enablement, and production pipeline support.
  • Hands-on Snowflake experience, including advanced SQL, data loading and transformation, virtual warehouse sizing, query optimization, access controls, and cost-conscious platform operation.
  • Experience building production-grade dbt projects with modular models, tests, documentation, source freshness, incremental models, macros, packages, and CI/CD.
  • Experience developing and operating Apache Airflow DAGs; familiarity with Astronomer or another managed Airflow platform, including deployment, monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting.
  • Experience implementing and supporting managed ELT with Fivetran, including connector setup, incremental synchronization, schema evolution, monitoring, and issue resolution.
  • Strong Python and SQL skills; experience with APIs, data formats, shell scripting, and Git-based development workflows.
  • Experience with AWS services such as S3, Lambda, IAM, and related cloud data services, plus Agile delivery and end-to-end automation practices.
  • Knowledge of Cortex Code and AI-assisted software development practices, or demonstrated willingness and ability to build a responsible adoption plan that integrates the technology into solution delivery processes while maintaining security, governance, code-review, testing, and change-management standards.
  • Strong communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions and mentor other engineers.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
