Software Development Team Leader
We’re looking for a hands-on, forward-thinking Software Development Team Leader to lead a team of experts building our next-generation Analytics & Modeling Service. You’ll guide the team from ideas and technical design through delivery, while evaluating emerging technologies and shaping how AI is adopted across our products and engineering practices. If you enjoy turning innovative ideas into scalable solutions, influencing both what we build and how we build it, and working with a collaborative team, we’d love to meet you.
What you’ll do:
Lead the team’s day-to-day work, guiding projects from technical design through successful delivery
Evaluate emerging tools, frameworks, and architectures through focused POCs, and turn successful experiments into production-ready solutions
Drive the adoption of AI-assisted engineering across coding, testing, and code review, while measuring its impact on quality and delivery speed
Establish best practices and guardrails for AI-driven development, and promote them across the R&D organization
Partner with Product, Data Science, and Architecture to build AI-powered capabilities into the Analytics & Modeling Service
Own the architecture, APIs, and data models of the team’s components, balancing performance, scalability, reliability, and cost
Deliver product capabilities and build the infrastructure required to support performance and scale
Work directly with insurers’ business and IT teams to understand requirements, discuss architecture, integration, deployment, security, and infrastructure, demonstrate new capabilities, and incorporate customer feedback into the product
Hire, onboard, mentor, and develop team members and future leaders as the group grows
Foster a collaborative, open, and supportive culture
