Cover Genius has protected more than 73M customers globally across 240M policies with USD $3.2BN in gross written sales.\nComing off a stellar year with 40% YoY revenue growth and a recent $100M capital raise, putting our valuation at $1.9BN, we are accelerating into our next phase of growth. As part of our team, you’ll help drive our AI-first roadmap, developing hyper-personalization engines, agentic distribution, and automated claims infrastructure, while building the scalable technology powering the fast-growing $70B embedded protection market.\nOur people are: Accountable, customer-obsessed, collaborative, driven\nOur people are not: Passive, defensive, siloed, hesitant\nAbout the role\nPolicy Configuration Engineers own the full lifecycle of AI-augmented policy delivery on Cover Genius's XCore platform. The PCA bridges business stakeholders and the Policy Agent - gathering requirements, writing Python expressions and directing the agent with structured inputs, validating its output, and owning the result end-to-end.\nWhat will your day look like? You will...\nRequirements & discovery. Engage stakeholders. Resolve ambiguity early. Document requirements that need no follow-up.\n\nEnd-to-end build ownership. Understand the XCore policy administration system and its attached systems (XPSD, XReport, Checkmate, XLedger) well enough to complete policy builds end to end - from specification through configuration, pricing, testing, and financial validation.\n\nPortfolio ownership. Manage concurrent policy builds across sprints. Keep the backlog clean. Give accurate delivery estimates.\n\nPolicy configuration. Translate requirements into Python expressions and structured inputs for the Policy Agent. Validate the agent's output as a fluent practitioner.\n\nTesting. Build and run comprehensive test plans. Maintain automated test suites across multiple demographics and scenarios.\n\nPost-launch ownership. Triage and resolve post-launch bugs and change requests.\n\nDocumentation. Keep product and configuration docs accurate across the full build lifecycle.\n\nUsing AI in this role\nAI is central to how this role delivers policy configuration.\nDirect the Policy Agent with clear, structured requirements\n\nRead and debug the agent's Python output as a fluent practitioner, not just a reviewer.\n\nValidate agent output against pricing sheets, underwriting rules, and specifications before it ships\n\nTo help us level up, you'll ideally have:\n2+ years in a technical role, platform engineering, or configuration role using Python.\n\nPython fluency - can read, write, debug, and validate expressions and agent-generated output.\n\nAPI proficiency (Postman, cURL, JSON interpretation)\n\nHands-on experience on testing methodologies and best practices\n\nAbility to translate non-engineering stakeholder needs into engineering-ready specs.\n\nStrong numerical and analytical skills (pricing requirements, actuarial inputs, financial structures).\n\nUnderstanding of Django and Django REST framework is a huge bonus\n\nWhy Cover Genius?\nAt Cover Genius, we create magic by turning the archaic into the extraordinary.
