Acrisure Innovation is where human expertise meets advanced technology.

Acrisure Innovation is a fast paced, AI-driven team building innovative software to disrupt the $6T+ insurance industry. Our mission is to help the world share its risk more intelligently to power a more vibrant economy. To do this, we are transforming insurance distribution and underwriting into a science.

At the core of our operating model is our technology: we’re building a digital marketplace for risk and applying it at the center of Acrisure, a privately held company recognized as one of the world's top 10 insurance brokerages and the fastest growing insurance brokerage globally. By leveraging technology to push the boundaries of understanding and transferring risk, we are systematically converting data into predictions, insights, and choices, and we believe we can remove the constraints associated with scale, scope, and learning that have existed in the insurance industry for centuries.

We are a small team of extremely high caliber engineers with a diverse background across industries and technologies. Our engineers have worked at large companies like Google and Amazon, high frequency trading companies like Two Sigma and Jump Trading, and a variety of smaller startups, including successful startup founders.

Our culture is strong. We are a collaborative company of entrepreneurial, innovative, and talented people who believe in our future. We outthink and out work the competition. We look outside our walls and are energized by our fast-paced trajectory.

As a Software Engineering Manager at Acrisure Innovation, you’ll be an essential part of the team building world-class software to transform the insurance industry. This is a cross functional leadership role that involves collaborating with the product team, other engineering leaders and stakeholders.

The Software Engineering Manager is responsible for overseeing people, resources and processes necessary to deliver on engineering goals while providing technical leadership. The role also includes assisting with strategic planning for forward looking initiatives.

Our technology runs on Google Cloud, leveraging various services including Kubernetes. Our data storage layer includes Big Query, Big Table, and Postgres. We code primarily in Kotlin, Python, and Typescript and make use of many frameworks, including Dataflow, Cloud AI Platform, Air Flow, Springboot, and React.
