  Job Description

   

  Data is central to Allstate’s transformation of the customer experience. Master Data Management (MDM) is the cornerstone of the new Enterprise Data Platform and is one of the key building blocks of the Transformative growth plan.

   

  We are looking for passionate developers who are looking for an opportunity to get into the world of Big Data. As a skilled developer you will help build the next generation of data analytics and software solutions within the big data technology stack.

   

  We need a Claims MDM developer who will work collaboratively on Scaled Agile teams, and who loves interacting with different areas to design and deliver the next generation analytics platforms and applications which will ultimately transform how our customers view Allstate.

   

  Within the MDM space we are passionate about empowering our developers and we work to the principal of ‘if you can do it, go do it”.

   

  So, if you believe in the power of Data to transform and would love to join a team at the beginning of this journey, then we would love you to bring your ideas and enthusiasm on this mission.
