SVP, Head of Engineering & Solutions Architect

Responsibilities:

• AI Platform Ownership & Roadmap
• Own the AI strategy and engineering roadmap for underwriting and adjacent business functions
• Design and build AI-first platforms leveraging agentic systems across underwriting, insurance operations, and future domains (e.g., AR/AP, go-to-market workflows)
• Lead adoption of AI-assisted development and code generation tools, pushing teams to meaningfully improve developer productivity and quality
• Partner with Data Science to operationalize models and agents in production (this role focuses on engineering and platformization, not model research)
• Architecture & Hands-On Engineering
• Lead the design and implementation of modern, cloud-native architectures in a 100% Microsoft Azure environment
• Build and evolve a proprietary AI-enabled underwriting platform from the ground up
• Perform hands-on development in core platform services and integrations
• Define and evolve APIs, services, and workflows across the underwriting lifecycle
• Ensure production-grade reliability, scalability, security, and observability
• Full-Stack & Modern UI Enablement (Supporting, Not Primary)
• Provide technical leadership across the full stack, including REST-based services and modern JavaScript frameworks
• Enable and guide teams working with Vue.js and React, without making front-end development the primary focus of the role
• Ensure UI and platform layers are well-integrated and designed for rapid iteration and AI-driven workflows
• AI Engineering & Tooling
• Build and scale agent-based AI systems using modern frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel or equivalent)
• Own AI infrastructure, orchestration, and deployment pipelines
• Establish best practices for responsible, scalable AI in production environments
• Train and mentor engineers on effective use of AI tooling, agents, and modern development workflows
• Leadership & Team Development
• Lead a small core team (2–3 direct reports) and provide technical direction to a broader group of engineers and contractors
• Shape the team’s technical direction, standards, and development culture
• Act as a key partner to Product, Underwriting, Data Science, and Executive Leadership
• Translate business and underwriting needs into scalable technical solutions

Qualifications:

Must-Have

• Expert-level hands-on engineering background with a strong desire to build and code

• Experience designing and owning modern, cloud-native platforms in Microsoft Azure
• Solid experience with RESTful services and modern backend architectures
• Working knowledge of JavaScript and modern frameworks (Vue.js, React) sufficient to lead and guide teams
• Demonstrated passion for AI-assisted development and code generation tools
• Proven ability to define and execute a technical roadmap in fast-moving environments

Nice-to-Have

• Experience in underwriting, insurance, or financial services
• Familiarity with regulated production environments and explainability requirements
• Experience extending AI platforms beyond core domains (e.g., finance operations, GTM workflows)
• Background in building internal developer platforms or proprietary tooling

Leadership Profile

• Builder-first mindset — leads by doing, not delegating
• Comfortable embracing new architectures and evolving systems
• Pushes teams to use AI to improve how software is built
• Pragmatic, fast-moving, and comfortable with ambiguity
