Bestow is a smarter approach to life insurance using big data and technology to bring simple and affordable coverage to everyone.

Who We Are

First thing you need to know; Bestow is not your typical insurance company. We’ve completely reimagined industry assumptions, and harnessed technology and big data to create life insurance products that aren’t just delightful to use, but deliver on our mission: to make financial products accessible to more people than ever before.

Who We’re Looking For

“Innovative” and “disruptive” can be overused words. But at Bestow, it isn’t jargon, it’s an

everyday rally cry. We are rewriting the rules of the 400-year-old, $7 trillion life insurance

industry, serving communities who have been underserved in the past, and we believe the

future is a bright one.

So, if you’re excited by the idea of building an industry-defining brand from scratch, working at a

mission-driven company, and fundamentally shaking up an age-old industry, read on, friend.

As a Senior Data Engineer you will design and build data pipeline and warehouse solutions. This is a greenfield opportunity to lay the foundation of our data platform. You enjoy creating solutions applying the latest data technologies. You should also have a background of traditional ETL and data pipeline tools.

Bestow engineers are great teammates. You will be spending a significant portion of your time working with application and infrastructure engineers. You’ll be learning how they export and ingest data in order to determine optimal solutions. As such, you have exceptional written and verbal communication skills.

Do you want to build products to reinvent a centuries old industry? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
