Insurance Product Configuration Engineer

This role sits at the intersection of insurance product design, actuarial logic, and systems configuration. As an Insurance Product Configuration Engineer, you will help turn complex pricing, risk, and product requirements into scalable, production-ready system behavior across Life, Health, and Annuity products. You’ll play a key role in how insurance products are built, configured, validated, and delivered—translating product and actuarial intent into accurate rules, calculations, and automated validation approaches. Working across actuarial, engineering, and business teams, you will help improve product quality, accelerate delivery, and support modernization through automation, product configuration expertise, and AI-enabled ways of working. DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES: Translate actuarial models, product specifications, and business rules into executable system logic within a product configuration environment. Configure and support product behavior across Life, Health, and Annuity domains, including premium calculations, benefit structures, payout logic, and rating rules. Validate complex calculations and product behavior, including interest, mortality, morbidity, present value, future value, and risk-based logic within the software environment. Build and maintain automated validation and testing approaches that compare system outputs to expected results and support reliable, low-regression releases. Use AI tools to improve speed and accuracy in rule interpretation, documentation, analysis, and configuration workflows. Partner with actuaries, architects, engineers, and business stakeholders to deliver consistent, high-quality product behavior across connected systems. Why This Role? This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of actuarial science, insurance product design, and modern engineering practices. In this role, you will help shape how complex insurance products are configured, validated, and delivered at scale—combining analytical rigor with automation, AI, and system design. If you enjoy solving complex problems, translating detailed product logic into real-world system behavior, and working across disciplines to improve quality and speed, this role offers the chance to make visible, meaningful impact. It’s an opportunity to contribute to modernization while building deep expertise in insurance product delivery and configuration.
