IQ’s mission is to improve the lives of injured and disabled workers and enable them to return to the workforce, saving billions of dollars in avoidable costs and lost productivity to the US and global economies and making insurance more affordable for everyone. We are currently experiencing massive growth and, to accomplish our goals, we are hiring world‑class talent who want to help build and scale internally and transform the insurance space.

Our team is our #1 priority, and we have been named one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces three years in a row!

The Adventure: We’re the leading AI Guidance Platform in the insurance industry today, working with some of the largest insurance carriers in the U.S. and expanding globally.

Our engineering culture values simplicity, core engineering principles, quality, honesty, transparency, and strong collaboration. In this role you’ll have the opportunity to help build key workflows in the system such as rule‑based engines that will span across all of our products.

Your Impact: We are looking for a Staff‑level Engineer who will play an integral role in building out AI Claims Guidance software products. You will navigate the complexities of insurance data, bringing technical excellence and a structured approach to build next‑generation products that are making an impact for our clients as well as injured and disabled workers.

Platform Services: The Backend/Core Services team is responsible for building and maintaining scalable, reliable, and performant APIs or services that enable product engineering teams to deliver value quickly and efficiently to customers. We abstract away complexity from product teams by managing core backend systems, authentication, and service architecture, ensuring consistency and ease of integration across the platform.
