## Job description

About Us: EvolutionIQ builds AI that helps insurance claims teams handle claims more accurately, fairly, and efficiently, so more people impacted by injury or illness can get back to their lives with dignity and stability. As part of CCC Intelligent Solutions (NASDAQ: CCC), we pair AI-native product development with something almost no one else in this market has: 40 years of proprietary data and deep relationships with the largest, most complex carriers in the world. It's a rare combination, and it's what lets us build casualty products others can't. Our people come first, and we think it shows. We've been named one of [Inc.'s Best Workplaces](https://www.evolutioniq.com/resources/evolutioniqs-award-winning-culture-three-years-running-as-an-inc-best-workplace)three years running, plus Built In's Best Places to Work in 2025 and 2026.

The Mission: EvolutionIQ is seeking to scale our infrastructure, systems, and people to support an agentic future for the insurance industry. We are looking for a Senior Staff or Principal Software Engineer who is a pragmatic visionary who will serve as a high-leverage force multiplier across the entire organization.

In this role, you will drive the technical vision for our new agentic products and the growth of our platform. You will solve our most complex technical bottlenecks and serve as the critical bridge between executive strategy and engineering execution. Your mission is to ensure our technical roadmap directly supports our product goals while leveling up the software engineering rigor across our 100+ person organization.

What You’ll Achieve:

- Architect the Agentic Future: Lead the transition from traditional data pipelines to event-driven, agentic systems that handle tens of millions of unstructured documents with world-class stability.
- Bridge the Platform-Product Divide: Act as a critical interface to ensure the Platform team builds generalized, high-utility tools that solve real problems for Product Engineers.
- Accelerate the SDLC: Use first principles thinking to leverage AI and agentic tools to accelerate the entire software development lifecycle—from testing to deployment—ensuring we maintain high throughput as we scale.
- Drive Organizational Influence: Partner with the CTO and EVP of Product and Technology to align technical strategy with business outcomes. You will influence the adoption of modern technologies by building the right environment for teams to succeed.
- Pragmatic Implementation: Rapidly turn ideas into thoughtful designs with multiple options and trade-offs. You will lead the "1 to 10" journey towards iterative, startup-ready progress.

About You:

- The Pragmatic Architect: You have a startup-first mindset. You know when to build for 10x scale and when over-engineering will hinder the company. You value getting stuff done and iterative bridging over theoretical rewrites.
- Product-Minded Engineer: You can translate high-level business needs into technical requirements. You think like a PM, are comfortable writing a PRD, and can effectively push back against stakeholders to ensure technical work delivers actual business value.
- Battle-Tested Leader: You have seen the "1 to 10" scale-up journey. You possess the startup rigor to move fast, combined with the enterprise wisdom to build systems that don't break under massive volume.
- Technically Polyglot: You have a deep software engineering foundation but understand the emerging agentic landscape (embeddings, RAG, retrieval) at a level that commands respect from Staff-level SMEs.
- Expert Communicator: You are an over-communicator by nature. You break down silos and can explain complex technical trade-offs to both junior engineers and executive leadership.

Work-life, Culture & Perks

- Compensation: The base salary range is $275-300K (based on level hired), with flexibility depending on a candidate’s background and experience. An annual bonus plan and company equity plan (RSUs) are also included in our generous compensation package
- Well-Being: Medical, dental, vision, short & long-term disability, life insurance and AD&D, and 401k matching. Additional family, wellness, and pet benefits.
- Home & Family: Paid time off and sick leave, 100% paid parental leave (16 weeks for primary caregivers and 12 weeks for secondary caregivers). We offer a flexible schedule for new parents returning to work.
- Office Life: Catered lunches, happy hours, pet-friendly spaces, and monthly technology stipend.
- Growth & Training: $1,000/year for each employee for professional development, as well as opportunities for tuition reimbursement.
- Sponsorship: We are open to sponsoring candidates currently in the U.S. who need to transfer their active visa.

EvolutionIQ appreciates your interest in our company as a place of employment. EvolutionIQ is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
