About Parsyl

Parsyl is a data-powered insurance and risk management provider for essential supply chains in food and health. Our mission is to end the days of “ship and pray” and build a world where everyone, everywhere can trust the quality of the goods they rely on, from the foods they eat to the medicines they need.

We are working to achieve this by combining smart sensors, data insights, and data-driven insurance to improve risk resiliency and safeguard goods in transit and storage. This unique combination of IoT and insurance means our customers can use data to make supply chains more transparent, safe and sustainable - better for people and the planet.

What You Bring to Parsyl

We are creating a mission-driven team that aims to transform the essential supply chain industry. Data is at the core of everything we do at Parsyl. You will work with the Data Science team to ensure the team has the data it needs to build products that ultimately improve the quality of essential goods throughout the global supply chain.

In this role, you’ll get to:

• Maintain and improve Parsyl’s data warehouse and data tools to accelerate Data Science and Data Analyst research and development.
• Develop, deploy, and monitor data pipelines from transactional and IoT data, SaaS tools, and partner or purchased data.
• Ensure the quality, reliability, and availability of data for consumption by the data team as well as the broader business.
• Coordinate with the production backend team to efficiently manage data pipelines and integrations; understand and advocate for the needs of the data team and liaise between the data team, backend and product teams.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to understand and support Data Scientist, Analyst, Product, and Business users' data needs.
• Support all aspects of data governance, including access, security, and master data management.
