Full 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 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 a Software Engineering Manager to lead a talented team as we scale our platform and shape the next phase of our growth. You’ll help define how we build, collaborate, and deliver, driving technical excellence and empowering people to do their best work.

What You’ll Do 🧭 Lead and develop exceptional engineers through mentorship, regular feedback, and career growth conversations. 🤝 Collaborate cross-functionally with product and design to deliver secure, scalable, and reliable features that make a real impact for users. ⚙️ Drive engineering excellence by guiding architectural decisions, promoting best practices, and ensuring performance and reliability. 🌱 Scale the team and organization by refining processes, supporting hiring, and improving team velocity and execution. 💬 Foster a culture of collaboration and learning, promoting transparency, adaptability, and shared ownership across teams. 🔍 Anticipate and navigate growth challenges, evolving workflows and maintaining focus on delivering user and business value.

What You Bring 💻 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in a leadership or management role. 🚀 Experience leading teams in a high-growth startup environment—comfortable staying hands-on when needed. 🎯 A passion for building products that excel in usability, performance, reliability, and security. 🗣️ Proven ability to set goals, communicate clearly, and deliver measurable results. 🌟 A strong track record of attracting, developing, and retaining exceptional engineering talent. 🧩 The ability to translate customer and business needs into cohesive technical roadmaps and execution plans. Bonus: 🧠 Familiarity with our stack: Node.js (TypeScript), React (TypeScript), GraphQL, Python, Docker, PostgreSQL, AWS.

Benefits: 🤑 Competitive Compensation: Competitive salary and equity packages for all employees 🏥 Healthcare Plan: Platinum medical, dental, and vision 🛡️ Free life insurance: Including long-term disability & short-term disability 🏄 Unlimited PTO: Uncapped vacation days & paid holidays 👶 Family Leave: Maternity & paternity 📈 401(k) Contribution: Assured contributes 3% of your income, even if you don't contribute 🏠 WFH Benefits: Lunch on us 2x/week, monthly phone stipend & other home office perks 👪 Health FSAs & HSAs: Pre-tax accounts for out-of-pocket medical expenses 🤝 Team events & Offsites: We're remote, but we regularly get together
