Entry Level Software Developer Jobs in Everett, WA

About the team

Symetra's AI Enablement team is a fast-growing team of builders inside our Data Analytics organization. Our goal is to accelerate AI adoption across the company in two ways: by building shared platforms, tooling, and patterns that let other teams effectively integrate AI into their workflows, and by shipping AI-powered applications for the most important use cases.

We work in small, cross-functional teams, build with the people who use what we make, and move fast. Our first product in production, docstream, is an AI-powered document-processing platform that currently supports several of Symetra's back-end operational processes. We plan to continue to operate on docstream and to build out other products using the same modular architecture, integrating third-party products where it makes sense.

About the role

As an Analytics Engineer, you'll help build the data platform our AI products run on the pipelines and storage for the documents and other unstructured data our AI applications use. You'll build the clean, reliable datasets the rest of the team depends on.

What you will do

• Build and maintain the pipelines and datasets that feed our AI products.
• Help store and serve the data our AI applications need, including documents and other unstructured data.
• Solve data integration problems across structured and unstructured sources.
• Keep our data clean, reliable, and well-documented for the people and products that depend on it.
• Work closely with the software engineers, building our AI products and follow engineering best practices.

Who You Are

• An early-career analytics or data engineer who builds clean, reliable pipelines and datasets.
• Strong SQL and Python for data work.
• Experience building data pipelines and integrating structured and unstructured data.
• Comfortable with cloud data infrastructure.
• Use AI coding agents effectively in your day-to-day work, with the judgment to know when to use them and when not to.

Nice to Haves

• Working with documents and unstructured data (object storage, data lakes).
• Preparing data for LLM-powered applications (RAG, embeddings).
• Orchestration with Dagster (or Airflow, Prefect, etc.).

Why Work at Symetra

Here's what some of our employees have to say about why they work at Symetra:

"I was referred to Symetra by a family friend who's been with the company for years-and I'm so glad I took their advice. Symetra truly puts its people first. I've always felt supported, not micromanaged, and that trust has helped me grow. I started in an entry-level position and have worked my way up to Unit Manager by continuously learning and expanding my skills. It's a place that believes in its employees and invests in their success." - Morgan D., Sr. Unit Manager

""Symetra will spoil you. There aren't many companies that will put as much effort into you being a success as Symetra. The culture will challenge you but simultaneously put you at ease. Failure is seen as integral to the learning process so there is less reason to be fearful of it." - Kerry S., Sr. Systems Analyst
