The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in designing, architecting, and shipping modern, end-to-end applications and services, ideally within Property & Casualty (P&C) Insurance.

You will serve as a technical leader and delivery owner, responsible for managing all aspects of delivery – from requirements gathering through architecture, implementation, QA, and deployment – while building and guiding high-performing, multidisciplinary teams. This is a unique opportunity to lead from the front, shaping solution architecture as well as day-to-day engineering, with a sharp focus on scalability, flexibility, and reusability in an evolving P&C sector.

Key Responsibilities:

• Technical Strategy & Solution Architecture: Develop and enforce architectural decisions and software engineering best practices that support modular, scalable, reusable, and secure solutions, in alignment with business and regulatory requirements.

• Hands-On Technical Leadership: Set the standard for technical excellence by actively engaging in design, hands-on development, technical problem-solving, and rigorous code reviews – leading by example across functional and non-functional requirements (performance, reliability, security).

• Cross-Team Leadership & Collaboration: Lead, motivate, and mentor high-impact engineering, architecture, and QA teams; drive cross-functional collaboration to deliver complex initiatives on time and on budget.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Partner with product owners, solution architects, business leads, and engineering peers to elaborate business needs, refine requirements, and align solution approaches with strategic technology blueprints and objectives.

• Delivery Planning & Execution: Direct project planning, estimation, resource allocation, sprint/release tracking, and status communications – ensuring transparency and meeting key delivery milestones.

• Continuous Improvement & DevOps: Champion best-in-class engineering practices, including CI/CD, test automation, code quality, and agile methodologies.

• Risk Management & Issue Resolution: Proactively identify delivery risks and impediments; develop mitigation strategies and adapt scope/priorities to achieve successful outcomes.

• Domain Leadership: Apply deep P&C insurance sector knowledge to ensure delivered solutions meet industry standards, regulatory constraints, and the unique needs of underwriting, claims, billing, or insurance operations.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

• 10+ years of progressive software engineering experience, with hands-on full-stack development and delivery leadership at enterprise scale.

• Demonstrated success as a Technical Lead or Delivery Lead managing multidisciplinary engineering teams, delivering complex, end-to-end systems or platforms.

Deep expertise in modern engineering stacks, including:

• Back-end: .NET, Node.js, or equivalent enterprise-grade frameworks

• Front-end: Angular, React, or Vue.js

• Cloud: AWS, Azure, or GCP-based architectures and deployments

• API: RESTful, GraphQL, and microservices patterns

• Data: Relational (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, etc.) and NoSQL databases

• Strong practical background in designing and implementing application, solution, and integration architectures.

• Proven ability to translate business/insurance requirements into scalable software solutions, with significant experience in P&C insurance (policy, claims, billing, underwriting workflows).

• Hands-on experience with DevOps culture, automation (CI/CD), infrastructure-as-code, test-driven development, automated QA, and modern delivery pipelines.

• Outstanding communication, executive presence, and stakeholder management skills – adept at bridging technology and business.

• Strong mentoring and team development abilities, with a commitment to building and nurturing high-performing, diverse teams.

• Track record of delivering on commitments in a fast-paced, complex environment.

Highly Preferred:

• Experience delivering large-scale digital transformation programs within insurance or broader financial services.

• Familiarity with Insurtech platforms, digital ecosystems, or core P&C insurance platforms (Guidewire, Duck Creek, Majesco, etc.).

• Experience implementing Agile at scale (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and orchestrating multi-team (or distributed/offshore) delivery models.

• Industry certifications (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP Architect,) a plus.

An estimated salary range for this position is $140,000-$180,000.
