Company mission
To transform the insurance industry through a partnership between AI and human experts, ultimately making it more fair and affordable for everyone.
Role
Who you are
- 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
Desirable
- 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
What the job involves
- 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
- 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
Our take
EvolutionIQ is a data-driven claim guidance platform for insurance providers. Its products combine structured and unstructured claim data with external third-party data to provide powerful claim guidance, aiming to modernise the claims operations process.
The company's offering is certainly an attractive one for businesses handling large volumes of these claims - the solutions aim to help insurance providers detect and prevent fraud without impacting their productivity and customer experience. Historically, the insurance industry has had access to vast amounts of data without optimising its use. EvolutionIQ's machine learning algorithms harness the learnings from every data point, enabling much more well-informed, actionable insights.
In 2024, CCC Intelligent Solutions acquired EvolutionIQ, which will continue to operate as a standalone company. Following a successful VC funding round, it reached a valuation of over $200 million and is now focused on further product development and international expansion. Off the back of this, it hopes to capture a larger slice of this $10 billion market.
