The work we do has an impact on millions of lives, and you can be a part of it.

We help protect our customers against life’s uncertainties. Regardless of where you work within the company, you’ll be helping provide protection and peace of mind when our customers need it most.

Protective Life is transforming how it builds and operates software — moving to a product operating model organized around empowered, outcome-oriented teams — and is scaling its data and AI capabilities to serve customers and run the business better. Voyager is one of these product pods, spanning our Life, Annuities, and Employee Benefits lines.

The DataOps/MLOps Lead owns the platform and operating model that lets data and ML engineers ship reliably. You build the paved paths — CI/CD, orchestration, observability, environments, and governance automation — on our Databricks Lakehouse on Microsoft Azure, so that pipelines and models move from development to governed production quickly, safely, and repeatably.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role: you set standards, automate the operational backbone, mentor engineers, and are accountable for the reliability, security, cost, and auditability of the pod's data and ML systems in a regulated insurance environment.
