Life insurance is one of the world's most important products. It's also one of the hardest to build, distribute, and modernize. Bestow exists to change that. Bestow is a leading vertical technology platform serving some of the largest and most innovative life insurers. Our platform unifies the fragmented, legacy value chain, enabling carriers to launch products in weeks instead of years. Carriers choose us to scale and operate at unprecedented speed, powered by AI and automation. Bestow isn't selling policies. We're building the infrastructure that helps an entire industry move faster, reach more people, and deliver on its promise. Backed by leading investors (Goldman Sachs, Hedosophia, NEA, Valar, 8VC) and trusted by major carriers, Bestow is powered by a team that moves with precision, purpose, and heart. If you want to help reimagine a centuries-old industry with lasting impact, join us. Bestow offers flexible remote/hybrid work, meaningful benefits, equity, and substantial growth opportunities.

The Quality Engineering (QE) team makes sure the decisions Bestow's platform produces for carrier partners are correct, not just technically functional. This role is our reference authority on underwriting correctness. You'll partner with underwriters, actuaries, product, and engineering to make sure every rule change, evidence integration, and risk classification holds up before it reaches a carrier. We're hiring a senior individual contributor whose main qualification is deep life insurance underwriting expertise. You've spent years working in or testing underwriting operations and systems, and you can look at a decision output and know whether it's right before anyone writes a defect report. Domain depth is the requirement. Test automation skill is highly valued, but we can train it. If you're an expert automation engineer with light insurance exposure, this probably isn't the right fit. If you're an underwriting systems expert, underwriting business analyst, or QA specialist who has lived inside rules engines and evidence workflows and wants to grow your engineering skills, then you are on the right path. Reports to the Quality Engineering Director.
A few honest notes so nobody is surprised in month two. This is a senior IC role, not a pure automation role and not a management role. Your leverage comes from domain judgment first and tooling second. Some of the systems you'll test integrate with legacy carrier and vendor platforms, so the work includes ambiguity, incomplete documentation, and some archaeology. You'll also be the deepest underwriting expert on the QE team, which means real influence and sometimes being the only person in the room who can answer the question.
