Responsibilities:
We are seeking a Lead Software Engineer to join our Claims Inventory and Prioritization product team. The team is transforming how claims professionals manage their daily work by helping them prioritize the right work at the right time, improve customer outcomes, and manage claims proactively through modern, intuitive technology. The product currently supports injury and express claims operations, with planned expansion into total loss, personal injury protection, medical payments, fire, and other claim areas.

As a Lead Software Engineer, you will own complex solutions from design through production, mentor engineers, influence technical direction, and collaborate across product, business, and technology teams to scale the platform.
