About The Position

We’re looking for someone who knows life insurance and annuities inside and out—the products, the processes, the regulations, and the painful realities of legacy administration—and wants to apply that knowledge to build something fundamentally better. As a key member of the Bestow Labs team, you’ll work alongside best-in-class talent to shape an AI-first platform that serves both new products and the vast portfolios that exist on legacy systems today. You’ll bring deep, end-to-end knowledge of life and annuities products—including complex cash value, variable, and indexed products with riders—to validate requirements, guide design decisions, and ensure that what we build actually works for the world’s largest carriers. This isn’t a role where you watch from the sidelines. You’ll be in the room when hard tradeoffs are made, translating domain complexity into solutions that are both technically sound and practically grounded. Your expertise will directly influence what we build and how we build it.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in life insurance and annuities, with deep knowledge of product structures, administration, and operations
• Extensive experience with complex life insurance products, including cash value, variable, indexed, and universal life, as well as various riders
• Strong understanding of regulatory requirements and compliance considerations in life insurance
• Experience translating business requirements into technical specifications and actionable guidance for engineering teams
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Must be located in the United States

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience building or implementing life insurance policy administration systems (e.g., FAST, DXC, Sapiens, OIPA, ALIP, etc.) at a core systems provider or systems integrator
• Hands-on proficiency with configuring and implementing insurance administration platforms

Responsibilities

• Validate business and technical requirements for platform solutions in close collaboration with actuaries, engineers, and product managers
• Design and architect solutions that accommodate the full spectrum of life insurance and annuities products—from term life to complex cash value, variable, and indexed products with riders
• Serve as the go-to expert on life insurance product structures, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices
• Partner with engineering teams to ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, and meet the needs of modern insurers while supporting legacy product portfolios
• Translate complex insurance requirements into clear, actionable guidance that engineering teams can build against
• Help shape product strategy by identifying opportunities and risks based on your deep understanding of carrier needs and legacy system constraints

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity based on role
• Policies and managers that support work/life balance, like our flexible paid time off and parental leave programs
• 100% paid-premium option for medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Lifestyle stipend to support your physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing
