AVP, Rating Platform Software Engineer

Role Description

We are advancing our Python-based rating infrastructure. This will allow Chubb to deploy, test, and evolve pricing logic at pace and with precision. The AVP, Rating Platform Software Engineer, will lead the technical build-out of this infrastructure.

• Design and develop internal pricing services.
• Set architectural direction for our Python rating ecosystem.
• Align fragmented patterns across lines of business.
• Partner closely with actuarial, product, and implementation teams to translate filed rating plans into production-grade code.
• This is a hands-on technical leadership role spanning BOP today, with expansion planned across Commercial Property, General Liability, Workers Compensation, and Commercial Auto.
• Opportunity to establish engineering patterns, testing rigor, and scalable architecture that will define how we build and ship rating capability for the next decade.

What You Will Own

• Rating Engine Development & Architecture
  • Design, build, and maintain internal Python-based pricing services and data models supporting actuarial and product teams across commercial lines.
  • Develop and enhance rating engine services that support multiple lines of business and enable extensible, account-level pricing.
  • Create product configuration services that allow product owners to safely update coverage options and pricing parameters.
  • Operate as a hands-on technical leader: roughly 30-40 percent in code, 60-70 percent in system design, architecture review, and PR review.
  • Establish engineering standards, design patterns, and reusable components that scale across lines of business.
• Testing, Quality & Production Confidence
  • Develop best-in-class, scalable testing infrastructure that ensures confidence in rating accuracy, both in production and across the Python rating infrastructure.
  • Build automated validation frameworks to support UAT, regression testing, and ensure rating compliance.
  • Partner with implementation teams to ensure consistency between filed rating plans and deployed code.
• Data Integration & Predictive Modeling Enablement
  • Integrate and validate third-party data sources for pricing segmentation and predictive modeling.
  • Enable dislocation analysis across lines to support model development and implementation.
  • Occasionally build and deploy predictive models.
  • Partner with data science and actuarial teams to operationalize models within the rating infrastructure.
• Squad Leadership in a Dotted-Line Agile Framework
  • Lead a dotted-line squad of onshore and offshore developers operating in an agile delivery model, with accountability for keeping the squad on task.
  • Set sprint priorities, unblock dependencies, and drive delivery cadence across squad members who report formally to other managers.
  • Provide technical direction through code review, architectural guidance, and active mentorship.
  • Establish working agreements, intake discipline, and prioritization frameworks that protect squad capacity from ad hoc demand.
  • Partner with offshore people managers to provide input on performance, growth, and retention of squad members.
  • Collaborate closely with implementation teams across commercial insurance to develop standardized patterns and scalable solutions.
  • Partner with actuarial, platform engineering, and implementation teams to align on requirements, sequencing, and delivery.
