## About the role

The Morristown, NJ and San Francisco Bay Area base pay range for this role is $124,000 – $186,000. Exact compensation may vary based on several job-related factors that are unique to each candidate, including but not limited to: skill set, experience, education/training, location, business needs and market demands.

## What they're looking for

- Experience working with or building risk platforms, rules engines, ML models and/or decision automation systems. You understand how these systems work and what it takes to evolve them safely
- Proven track record of bridging the gap between business and engineering — translating ambiguous business problems into clear technical requirements, and helping engineering teams understand the 'why' behind the work
- Demonstrated track record of directly improving risk and efficiency metrics — loss ratio, case handling time, automation rates etc. — at meaningful scale
- Ability to set a compelling vision and strategy for a technical domain while simultaneously driving rigorous near-term execution. You are equally comfortable in a strategy conversation and a sprint planning session
- Strong stakeholder management skills — ability to earn trust across business, technical, and executive audiences, and to navigate competing priorities with clarity and conviction
- Data-driven decision making with strong analytical skills. Comfortable defining success metrics, analyzing results, and iterating with discipline
