Bestow is the leading end-to-end life insurance SaaS company partnering with top carriers to modernize and transform the way they do business. Backed by NEA.
About the role
Own test strategy and quality signal for underwriting decisioning, including rules changes, evidence ingestion, risk classification, and case outcomes. Design test scenarios that reflect real underwriting complexity: combinations of impairments, evidence sources, table ratings, and edge cases that generic test coverage misses.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years in life insurance, with substantial time in or directly adjacent to underwriting: underwriting operations, underwriting systems analysis, new business, or testing underwriting platforms
- Hands-on experience configuring, analyzing, or testing at least one underwriting rules engine or decisioning platform (for example AURA, Magnum, FAST, or a carrier-built engine)
- SQL skills strong enough to independently verify data outcomes
- Experience writing structured test cases or acceptance criteria and defending quality judgments to engineering and business stakeholders
- Nice to have (we'll help you grow here): test automation in code (JavaScript/TypeScript, Playwright, pytest, or similar), API testing tools and CI/CD familiarity, and annuities exposure such as suitability review, 1035 exchanges, and income rider mechanics
