Staff Software Engineer (Insurance Tech)

About Us

When someone is out of work with a serious injury or illness, the last thing they need is a claims process that's slow, confusing, or unfair. That's what EvolutionIQ is here to fix.

EvolutionIQ builds AI that helps insurance claims teams handle claims more accurately, fairly, and efficiently, so more people impacted by injury or illness can get back to their lives with dignity and stability. As part of CCC Intelligent Solutions (NASDAQ: CCC), we pair AI-native product development with something almost no one else in this market has: 40 years of proprietary data and deep relationships with the largest, most complex carriers in the world. It's a rare combination, and it's what lets us build casualty products others can't.

Our people come first, and we think it shows. We've been named one of Best Workplaces three years running, plus Built In's Best Places to Work in 2025 and 2026.

Your Impact

This is a hands-on Staff Engineer role that impacts a whole business. You'll help architect systems and set the engineering best practices others build on, think hard about where and how to bring AI to bear (the right tools, in the right systems, at the right time), and write the code that turns those decisions into value for our customers. There's serious architecture in this work: assessing complex, sometimes messy legacy platforms, deciding what to keep, rebuild, or replace, and setting the technical direction. And there's serious coding: building the production systems that direction turns into, and prototyping new ideas from scratch. The two reinforce each other, and we're looking for someone who wants both the architectural judgment and the daily craft of writing excellent code.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect systems and write the code that makes them real, bringing EvolutionIQ's AI-native products into CCC's auto casualty business
• Dig into complex, sometimes messy legacy systems; decide what to rebuild, replace, or keep; and drive that work hands-on
• Build backend architectures that hold up in production, moving between fast prototypes and stable, long-lived systems, with AI and agentic tools core to how you work
• Set the engineering standard (best practices, design docs, code reviews, consistency) in close partnership with Product, Data Science, and Data Engineering

Requirements

• 8+ years of engineering experience, with a track record of owning features end to end: partnering with Product, scoping, designing data models, implementing, and living with the system long-term
• A strong hands-on coder in our stack: Python primarily, with TypeScript / JavaScript across the front end
• Deep architectural experience with existing systems, not just greenfield: evaluating, modernizing, and replatforming, including multi-tenant, multi-user backends and solid relational database design
• Experienced with AI-assisted and agentic engineering tools, and can point to real work you've shipped faster because of them
• Ask the right questions to understand a customer's business problem, and connect your technical work to business impact
• A crisp communicator with the emotional intelligence to build trust across teams as we bring EvolutionIQ's work into CCC's auto casualty organization

Nice to Have

• C# / .NET experience, since modernizing some of CCC's existing systems may involve it
• Experience across both startups or scale-ups and larger enterprises, which mirrors the EvolutionIQ-into-CCC nature of this work
• Familiarity with insurance, claims, or the auto casualty space

Work-life, Culture & Perks

• Compensation: The base salary range is $245-270K, with flexibility depending on a candidate's experience and location.
