What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineering Manager, Fraud position at Assured?
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.

🤝 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.

What You Bring

🚀 Proven experience in high-growth or early-stage environments, with comfort operating amid ambiguity and building structure where none exists.

🧠 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.
