Job description

Federato is on a mission to defend the right to efficient, equitable insurance for all. We enable insurers to provide affordable coverage to people and organizations facing the issues of today - the climate crisis, cyber-attacks, social inflation, etc. Our vision is understood and well funded by those behind Salesforce, Veeva, Zoom, Box, etc.

Federato is the only AI-native platform that spans the full policy lifecycle and changes the way insurance work gets done. Better decisioning is built-in, not bolted on: insurers' unique portfolio goals, strategies, rules, and appetite are part of the workflow so underwriters win the right deals, faster. From the moment a submission hits an underwriter’s inbox, AI is put to work, triaging submissions with a focus on high-appetite business, delivering real-time feedback on the portfolio, and consolidating workflows into a single proven system. Federato drives better business outcomes.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Own and evolve our core AI-focused product areas, including our Quote Agent, Product Studio, Submission Triage, and intelligent Content Management products.
  • Build and lead a high-performing, cross-functional team of 9–10 engineers, covering ML, SWE, and data/analytics.
  • Define the technical vision and architecture for our agentic platform, enabling autonomous systems that measurably improve customer experience and operational efficiency.
  • Champion engineering excellence by maintaining a high bar for quality through code reviews, architectural oversight, and occasional hands-on contributions.
  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and Delivery teams to align our engineering roadmap with business objectives and ship high-impact features.
  • Act as a strategic technical partner to go-to-market stakeholders, translating business goals into robust, scalable engineering plans.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous growth as the engineering organization scales.

 

Who We Hope You Are:

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, with a proven track record leading engineering organizations of 15–20+ people.
  • Deep expertise in B2B enterprise SaaS, with early-stage startup experience highly preferred.
  • Strong background in shipping and maintaining AI-powered products in production environments.
  • Experience designing and deploying agentic systems, AI workflows, or LLM-powered applications at scale.
  • A demonstrated leader and mentor who knows how to build, manage, and empower multidisciplinary engineering teams.
  • Exceptional communicator with the ability to influence and align stakeholders across technical and business domains.
  • Demonstrates end-to-end ownership and accountability for outcomes, proactively identifying and resolving challenges before they escalate.
  • Excels in fast-paced environments, driving rapid execution while embracing continuous learning and iteration.
  • Cultivates high-trust relationships through transparency, empathetic leadership, and an inclusive approach that supports both individual and team success.
