Federato is on a mission to defend the right to efficient, equitable insurance for all. We enable insurers to provide affordable coverage to people and organizations facing the issues of today - the climate crisis, cyber-attacks, social inflation, etc. Our vision is understood and well funded by those behind Salesforce, Veeva, Zoom, Box, etc.

Federato is the only AI-native platform that spans the full policy lifecycle and changes the way insurance work gets done. Better decisioning is built-in, not bolted on: insurers' unique portfolio goals, strategies, rules, and appetite are part of the workflow so underwriters win the right deals, faster. From the moment a submission hits an underwriter’s inbox, AI is put to work, triaging submissions with a focus on high-appetite business, delivering real-time feedback on the portfolio, and consolidating workflows into a single proven system. Federato drives better business outcomes.

Role Overview
You’ll be joining a small, high-impact data engineering team within Federato’s AI/ML organization. Our focus is on building the infrastructure and internal frameworks that empower machine learning engineers to develop, deploy, and iterate on AI-powered features ranging from prompt-based LLM workflows to more traditional model-driven systems. We collaborate closely with ML, analytics, and product teams to ensure data and tooling are reliable, scalable, and aligned with the needs of our AI-native platform.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Collaborate with Data Science, Product Managers and Software Engineers to build robust ETL pipelines that enable the Product Support team to deliver compelling user-facing features
  • Contribute to architecture decisions, observability tooling, and data quality initiatives that keep our platform robust and maintainable.
  • Contribute to a scalable internal framework for managing prompt engineering pipelines and other AI workflows.
  • Enforce and elevate engineering best practices across the AI/ML org, including code quality, testing, and documentation.

Who We Hope You Are:

  • 6+ years of experience in data engineering, backend engineering, or related roles with a focus on data infrastructure.
  • Proven experience designing and maintaining scalable data pipelines (e.g., using Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect).
  • Experience with software development practices like version control, CI/CD, or dbt testing strategies.
  • Strong proficiency in SQL and Python, with bonus points for Typescript (or similar) experience
  • Comfort working with version control, CI/CD systems, and cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP, Terraform).
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and working closely with business stakeholders to understand their data needs.
  • Proven track record of designing high-impact data products and pipelines in fast-paced environments.

Bonus Points for:

  • Prior experience working in or adjacent to insurance, fintech, or risk modeling domains.
  • Prior exposure to ML ops or experience supporting AI/ML-driven products
  • Enthusiasm for building internal tools or frameworks to improve team velocity.
  • Contributions to open-source data tools or involvement in the data community.

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate location, experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above. Total compensation package does include stock options, benefits and additional perks.

Here at Federato, your capabilities are important, but culture fit is quintessential. We move fast, are eager to listen to our users, take a first principles approach to solving problems, and value learning and the ability to change our minds. Most importantly, we're here to have fun.

View company profile

Federato's journey began in 2020, born from a vision to revolutionize the insurance industry. Founded by Will Ross and William Steenbergen, the company recognized the challenges faced by underwriters in an increasingly complex and volatile risk landscape. Traditional methods were struggling to keep pace with emerging threats like the climate crisis, cyber-attacks, and social inflation, often leaving underserved communities and organizations without access to efficient and equitable insurance coverage. The founders saw an opportunity to leverage cutting-edge technology to empower insurers and, in turn, protect more people and businesses.

What started as an idea to apply AI and machine learning to underwriting quickly evolved into the development of a category-defining 'RiskOps' platform. This platform was meticulously designed by underwriters, for underwriters, with a core philosophy of putting them back in control. Federato's approach was not just about automation, but about augmenting human expertise with powerful data-driven insights. The team dedicated significant time, including over 1250 hours in direct consultation with underwriters, to understand their pain points and build a solution that truly addressed their needs. This collaborative spirit and focus on real-world applicability became a cornerstone of Federato's development. The company's mission crystallized: to defend the right to efficient, equitable insurance for all by enabling insurers to provide affordable coverage through smarter risk selection and portfolio optimization. This commitment has attracted significant backing from prominent venture capital firms who share Federato's vision for a more resilient and inclusive insurance future.
