About this role
There's nothing more exciting than transforming an industry that's been stagnant for decades. Federato is an AI-native platform that’s bringing agentic AI to the full policy lifecycle. We’re aggressively transforming how insurance work gets done, and the world is paying attention: we've raised $180 million, including a $100 million Series D from Goldman Sachs. We have powerful product-market fit, and we're growing fast globally.
You'll get to work on complex problems with one of the most advanced AI teams you'll find anywhere. If you're the person we need, you know that AI bolted onto legacy systems is too weak to matter. That's why we built our platform to be AI-native from day one. That's why you can do here what you can never do at a legacy software company. move fast and prove it, not theorize it. We think from first principles. You’ll work on problems that matter, building software that fundamentally changes how insurance operates.
Team Overview You'll lead a team of engineers building and scaling core product capabilities at the intersection of software engineering, AI, and insurance. You'll balance technical leadership with people management, helping your team move quickly while maintaining a high bar for engineering quality, reliability, and customer impact. What You'll Be Doing: Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of engineers, including hiring, performance management, career development, and technical mentorship.
Set technical direction and help define the roadmap for your team, translating ambiguous product and customer needs into clear engineering priorities and measurable outcomes.
