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.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Design and implement scalable machine learning pipelines, serving prompt engineering workflows to enhance scalability and efficiency in submission intake processes across multiple insurance use cases.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally, serving as a technical lead for mid and senior team members, providing mentorship and guidance to elevate team performance and technical knowledge.
  • Ensure production-grade deployment standards, emphasizing scalability, reliability, and compliance with insurance data handling policies, balancing rapid iteration with stability.
  • Build reusable, modular infrastructure components and CI/CD pipelines for ML and LLM workloads, enabling rapid experimentation and seamless transition from research to production.
  • Champion best practices in observability, testing, and monitoring of ML systems, establishing standards for model/data drift detection, logging, and automated rollback strategies.
  • Partner with Data Science leaders to shape the vision and direction of MLOps at Federato and the future of our products

Who We Hope You Are:

  • Proven experience as a Machine Learning Engineer or similar role (at least 7 years), with a strong focus on pipelining LLM models over the last 2 years.
  • Proven experience in designing scalable and robust machine learning pipelines, both for classical machine learning and large language models (LLMs) along with familiarity with open-source models is a plus.
  • Experience in building scalable ML pipelines using tools such as Kubeflow. Knowledge of automating and monitoring ML workflows to ensure consistent model performance in production.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, including deploying models, managing cloud resources, and using relevant APIs for data intake, storage, and processing
  • Great communication skills with the ability to convey complex findings to non-technical audiences.
  • Experience leading a team for high-visibility / high-impact projects
  • Proven record of influencing and executing ML product vision

$210,000 - $250,000 a year

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.
