## 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
