Overview

In 2015, Companion Protect (CP) set our sights on extending and enhancing the lives of cats and dogs by offering the highest quality pet insurance programs featuring comprehensive coverage, innovative technologies, and inclusive plans for all ages and breeds. Our vision today? Keeping pets healthy …. because pets make us happy!

Achieving that vision wouldn't be possible without our greatest asset : our associates. At CP, you will join an enthusiastic team that values collaboration and innovation and has a strong belief in harnessing a variety of experiences, ideas, and technology to maximize the impact we make.

To get there, we need a hands-on DBA who can help us build, scale, and secure the data layer that powers everything we do.
