.NET engineers. The agency-management systems brokers work in, the policy-administration suites of property and casualty insurers, and the platforms that run life policies and annuities were largely built in C# and .NET, and they are still being extended. .NET engineers build and modernise them, with React or Angular on top and SQL Server underneath. They are by far the most common opening, more than three times as common as at a typical product company, and they take the most juniors here.

Cloud and DevOps engineers. Insurers are moving their core systems from their own data centres to cloud services run by the vendor. Cloud and DevOps engineers build and run those services, mostly at Guidewire Software, the largest maker of core insurance suites, in Java, Python and Go with Kubernetes and Terraform, and some with OpenShift and Tanzu.

Java backend and full-stack engineers. Java engineers build the core suites' services, the agency software and the systems of the digital insurers, like Acko and Ethos, and the insurance comparison site Policybazaar, in Spring Boot on AWS, often with React. Java holds about its usual place here.

GenAI engineers. An insurance policy, a claim and an underwriting file are long documents full of rules, natural work for language models. GenAI engineers build agents that read submissions, assist underwriters and help with claims, mostly at Guidewire Software and the life and annuity platform Zinnia. The postings require Python with LangChain, LangGraph, vector databases such as Pinecone and Weaviate, and Vertex AI. They are more common here than at most product companies.

Integration developers. A core insurance suite has to connect to billing, payments, agents' systems and data providers. Integration developers build those connections, almost all at Guidewire Software, in Java and Spring Boot on AWS with DynamoDB. They are several times as common here as elsewhere.

Test engineers. Testers hold about their usual place, and the digital life insurer Ethos hires the most. They automate in Java with Selenium, Playwright and Cypress, and REST Assured for the services.

Full-stack and Go engineers. Full-stack engineers who work across React and any backend are about twice as common here as elsewhere, at the life and agency platforms, like Sureify, Vertafore and Zinnia. Go engineers build Policybazaar's and Ethos's services.

Also present. A small group of fintech software engineers at the core-suite makers and the health-plan software companies Evolent and Lyric, platform developers, generalist software engineers, mobile and Python engineers at Cambridge Mobile Telematics, a driving-data company that prices car insurance from how people drive, a few data engineers, a few Software Engineer, Security roles on identity at Zinnia, and JavaScript and Node engineers.

Rare here. SAP, firmware and C/C++ work barely appear.
