Overview

Application

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 Staff AI Engineer to help define and build the next generation of AI-powered systems at the core of our platform. You’ll play a hands-on leadership role—architecting scalable solutions, mentoring engineers, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with LLMs and modern development tools.

If you’re passionate about AI, love tackling hard problems, and want to see your work make an immediate impact, we want to hear from you.

• 💡 You’re excited by the idea of transforming industries that have resisted innovation
• 👩‍💻 You want to build alongside a small, exceptional team solving real, high-stakes problems
• 🚀 You thrive in fast-moving environments where creativity and ownership matter
• 🧭 You see being a trailblazer—in our architecture, approach, and culture—as an opportunity, not a challenge

What You’ll Do

• ✨ Architect and deliver production-ready AI systems using TypeScript and LangChain.js
• 👩‍🏫 Lead by example—mentor engineers while staying deeply technical and hands-on
• 📗 Design scalable infrastructure for AI-driven applications
• 🔄 Develop and optimize APIs and services that leverage LLM capabilities
• 📊 Collaborate with product and research teams to turn ideas into real-world impact

What You Bring

• 🌱 Proven experience delivering high-quality software and meaningful AI/LLM-driven products
• 👷 Deep expertise in TypeScript and modern web development frameworks
• 🚀 Demonstrated success architecting and scaling AI systems in production
• 💡 Strong background in API design and backend development (Python/Django/Flask a plus)
• 🛠️ A track record of technical leadership and driving complex initiatives end-to-end
• 🤖 Experience with LangChain.js or similar LLM frameworks (preferred)
• 🎯 An entrepreneurial mindset and a bias toward shipping impactful work
