About the Role
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 with 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’re looking for an experienced Staff Backend Engineer to help shape the future of our rapidly scaling B2B SaaS platform. As a key technical contributor on our engineering team, you’ll own critical systems end-to-end, from architecture and infrastructure to core business logic, while helping us scale reliably, securely, and fast. You’ll work closely with product, infrastructure, and data teams to deliver new capabilities, improve performance, and evolve the platform that powers our customers’ most important workflows. This is a high-impact role with significant ownership, technical depth, and opportunities for mentorship and leadership.
