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. Itโ€™s currently highly manual, involving phone calls, faxes, and gut instinctโ€”costing tens of billions of dollars a year. We can do better.

At Assured, we provide large insurers with the software solutions they need to win in a modern, technology-driven world. From self-service claim filing software to backend fraud detection, weโ€™re the engine that powers claims processing for some of the largest insurers in the world.

The challenges we face are deep and diverseโ€”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 a Director of Engineering to join our growing team!
