This role sits at the intersection of traditional underwriting expertise and modern insurtech — playing a direct role in improving the intelligence of our rules engine and protecting the integrity of every policy we issue. As the Underwriting Engine Integrity team matures, this role is expected to evolve beyond case review into structured rules testing, scenario validation, and regression analysis — making it a strong fit for an underwriter who wants to grow with the function, not just within it. This is a unique opportunity to join a small but highly important team where members will have the ability to shape processes and operate with a high degree of ownership.

These responsibilities will be transitioned to this team from Engineering as governance infrastructure matures Qualifications and Skills: 3–7+ years of life insurance underwriting experience; individual or group case management background is acceptable, but direct life underwriting is strongly preferred Familiarity with automated underwriting systems, rules engines, or decision support tools Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain accuracy at high review volumes Ability to clearly document findings and communicate trends to leadership Comfortable working in a structured, metrics-driven environment Experience with workflow or case management tools; JIRA or similar platforms a plus A collaborative mindset and genuine comfort with ambiguity — this team is building new infrastructure, and the ability to contribute to a psychologically safe environment where honest feedback and open calibration are the norm is as important as technical skill #LI-Hybrid #LI-PP1 Don’t meet every single requirement?
