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, Fraud 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 a hands-on Fraud Engineering team building and scaling a customer-facing fraud product that helps our clients detect, prevent, and respond to fraud in their own workflows.
🧱 Own net-new development across the fraud product, including detection logic, decisioning workflows, rules and signals, APIs, and tools that enable configuration, monitoring, and iteration.
🤝 Partner closely with Product, Design, and Client Engagement teams to turn customer pain points and real-world fraud scenarios into usable, scalable product capabilities.
⚙️ Set the technical direction for the fraud product, making architectural decisions that balance configurability, performance, accuracy, explainability, and long-term scalability.
🧪 Stay close to the code, especially early on, reviewing PRs, unblocking complex problems, and contributing directly when speed or clarity matters.
🌱 Scale the team and product together, helping define engineering standards, development processes, and hiring needs as the fraud product continues to grow.
🔍 Anticipate how customer needs and fraud patterns evolve, ensuring the product remains flexible, extensible, and competitive over time.
💬 Foster strong product ownership, where engineers understand how clients use the fraud product, the tradeoffs involved, and the business impact of what they ship.
What You Bring
💻 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years leading teams, ideally in systems where correctness, reliability, and speed matter.
🚀 Proven experience in high-growth or early-stage environments, with comfort operating amid ambiguity and building structure where none exists.
🛠️ A bias toward action and building—you’re comfortable being hands-on, especially while the team and systems are still forming.
🧠 Strong systems thinking, with the ability to design solutions that evolve as fraud tactics change.
🗣️ Clear, pragmatic communicator who can align engineers, product partners, and non-technical stakeholders around priorities and tradeoffs.
🌟 Demonstrated ability to grow engineers, from early-career to senior, through mentorship, feedback, and real ownership.
🧩 Ability to translate fraud signals and business risk into technical roadmaps, execution plans, and measurable outcomes.
