About The Position

Assured is on a mission to modernize insurance. Claims processing (i.e. should we pay this claim?), while often overlooked, is the foundation of the entire industry. It’s currently highly manual, involving phone calls, faxes, and gut instinct, costing tens of billions of dollars a year. We can do better. At Assured, we provide large insurers with the software solutions they need to win in a modern, technology-driven world. From self-service claim-filing software to backend fraud detection, we’re the engine that powers claims processing for some of the largest insurers in the world. The challenges we face are deep and diverse, from creating digital experiences that provide comfort and clarity to claimants at their most stressed and vulnerable to orchestrating large-scale ML-driven decision-making on billions of dollars of claims payments, life at Assured is dynamic, collaborative, and rewarding. We’re looking for a Staff Creative Frontend Developer to craft immersive, high-performing digital experiences that elevate how users interact with our technology. You’ll transform creative concepts into fast, expressive, and scalable web experiences that marry technical precision with design artistry. This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of creativity and engineering– someone who loves to build things that feel as good as they look.
