Staff Software Engineer (Insurance Tech)

EvolutionIQ builds AI-powered products that help insurance claims teams handle claims more accurately, fairly, and efficiently. The Staff Software Engineer will architect and build production systems, modernize legacy platforms, prototype AI-enabled solutions, and establish engineering standards in partnership with Product, Data Science, and Data Engineering.

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
• 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
