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. Itโs currently highly manual, involving phone calls, faxes, and gut
instinctโcosting tens of billions of dollars a year. We can do better.
At Assured, we provide large insurers the software solutions they need to win
in a modern, technology-driven world. From self-service claim filing software,
to backend fraud detection, weโre the engine that powers claims processing for
some of the largest insurers in the world.
The challenges we face are deep and diverseโfrom 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 are looking for experienced backend engineers to join our growing team.
