Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Assured sits in the vertical SaaS category, building software that underpins insurance claims processing for large carriers. That domain tends to combine complex workflows, regulated data handling, and high-stakes outcomes—conditions where product reliability becomes a core differentiator. Featuring a Staff SDET role here highlights how quality engineering operates as an enabling function for SaaS platforms that must be trusted at enterprise scale.
For SaaS career development, a staff-level test engineering seat is a strong vantage point into how modern teams ship: automation-first thinking, CI/CD integration, and cross-functional alignment with engineering, product, and SRE. The emphasis on TypeScript and broad test coverage (UI, API, E2E, integration) maps well to common SaaS stacks, making the experience portable across companies building web-based platforms. Ownership of frameworks and testing strategy also builds the kind of systems mindset that translates into broader engineering leadership.
This role is best suited to practitioners who prefer building durable tooling over ad-hoc testing, and who enjoy tracing failures to root causes across services and interfaces. It will fit someone comfortable influencing quality practices through reviews and collaboration, and who wants to operate at the intersection of delivery velocity and risk management in a SaaS environment.

Job Description
Assured is on a mission to modernize insurance. Claims processing (i.e. should we pay this claim?), while often overlooked, is the foundation of the entire industry. It’s currently highly manual, involving phone calls, faxes, and gut instinct—costing tens of billions of dollars a year. We can do better.
At Assured, we provide large insurers with the software solutions they need to win in a modern, technology-driven world. From self-service claim filing software to backend fraud detection, we’re the engine that powers claims processing for some of the largest insurers in the world.
