    Job Description

    Assured is on a mission to modernize insurance. Claims processing (i.e. should we pay this claim?), while often overlooked, is the foundation of the entire industry. It's currently highly manual, involving phone calls, faxes, and gut instinct—costing tens of billions of dollars a year. We can do better.

    At Assured, we provide large insurers the software solutions they need to win in a modern, technology-driven world.

    From self-service claim filing software, to backend fraud detection, we're the engine that powers claims processing for some of the largest insurers in the world.


    The challenges we face are deep and diverse—from creating digital experiences that provide comfort and clarity to claimants at their most stressed and vulnerable, to orchestrating large-scale ML-driven decision making on billions of dollars of claims payments, life at Assured is dynamic, collaborative, and rewarding.

    We are looking for experienced backend engineers to join our growing team.

    You will...

    Own large areas of the Assured platform, from business logic to data modeling to infrastructure

    Write lots of code:
    Conceptualize, build, test, and ship new products and features for our customers
    Architect and implement large-scale infrastructure improvements
    Design and utilize new testing mechanisms and procedures
    Create reliable systems and high-leverage abstractions that enable faster product velocity
    Lead, mentor, and learn from other engineers on our growing team

    You have...

    Minimum 7 years of relevant work experience preferred
    Experience building and scaling high-quality products and codebases from early stages to maturity
    A strong engineering background and history of designing systems

    Not required :
    Specific technology or programming language background. We are relatively technology-background agnostic.

    We believe great engineers are great engineers, and that the technologies we use will continue to evolve with the team and challenges we face.


    In Assured's codebase today, you'll find:
    (Typescript), Python, Docker, PostgreSQL, GraphQL

    In your first month at Assured, you may...

    Launch a migration to IaC-based infrastructure that will support easy creation and destruction of unique, isolated environments for each customer
    Implement a new integration with a third-party vendor to correlate traffic light data with new insurance claims
    Design and implement a new anomaly detection system to proactively detect potential production incidents
    Build reusable test harnesses and then utilize them when developing a new product feature
    Benefits
    Competitive salary and equity packages (75%tile)

    Health Care Plan (Platinum Medical, Dental, & Vision)

    Life Insurance (No cost to you)

    Paid Time Off (Uncapped vacation days & paid holidays)

    Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)

    401(k) contribution (Assured contributes 3% of your income even if you don't contribute)

    Health and Dependent Care FSAs (Pre-tax flexible spending accounts for out-of-pocket expenses)

    We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.

    We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
