Hire senior insurance software developers and AI pod teams
Senior engineers who modernize policy administration, claims and underwriting systems, plus AI pod teams that build claims triage and fraud models in your cloud.
By the Ryz Labs team · Updated October 2026
Hiring insurance software developers through Ryz gets you senior Latin American engineers who understand policy, claims and billing systems and the regulation around them. They are top 1% of the engineers we interview, they embed in your team and codebase, and they work within an hour of US time zones. For AI in claims and underwriting, we staff dedicated AI pod teams.
What we build for insurance teams
Insurance technology mixes decades-old core systems with modern digital channels and a growing amount of data and AI. Most carriers, MGAs and insurtechs need engineers who can work in both worlds. Our engineers work on:
- Core system configuration and integration. Policy administration, billing and claims platforms such as Guidewire PolicyCenter, BillingCenter and ClaimCenter, Duck Creek and Majesco, plus the integrations around them.
- Legacy modernization. Moving rating engines and policy logic off mainframes and older platforms, with strangler patterns and careful parallel runs.
- Digital distribution. Quote-and-bind flows, agent and broker portals, embedded insurance APIs and customer self-service apps.
- Claims systems. First notice of loss intake, document and photo handling, adjuster workbenches and payment integrations.
- Data and analytics. Data warehouses for actuarial and finance teams, loss ratio reporting and pipelines that feed pricing models.
- AI for claims and underwriting. Document extraction from submissions and claim files, triage models, fraud scoring and underwriting assistants.
Our AI pod teams have built closely related systems in production. One pod built AI fraud detection for a global fleet company that has scored more than 244,000 invoices and surfaced $5.94M in fraud confirmed by the client's fraud team. Another built AI marketing compliance review for a global capital management firm across more than 8,000 documents. See our case studies.
Domain skills we vet for
- Insurance data standards. ACORD forms and data models, and how submission, policy and claims data flow between carriers, brokers and vendors.
- State regulation. Awareness that US insurance is regulated state by state: rate and form filings, state-specific rules in rating logic and audit trails that support market conduct exams.
- Data security rules. Experience working within programs built around the NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law, NYDFS Part 500 cybersecurity requirements and SOC 2 controls.
- Privacy. GLBA, CCPA/CPRA and, for health and life lines, HIPAA considerations around personal and medical data.
- Rating and underwriting logic. Implementing rating algorithms, rules engines and referral workflows that actuaries and underwriters can verify.
- Fair and explainable models. Awareness of state rules on unfair discrimination and AI use in insurance decisions, with explainability and human review designed in.
- Core platform skills. Gosu and Guidewire integration patterns, Duck Creek configuration, and Java and .NET services around them.
Ryz does not hold insurance regulatory certifications or audit your compliance. Our engineers work within your compliance program and alongside your legal and actuarial teams.
Staff augmentation or an AI pod team?
Staff augmentation suits teams that need more senior capacity on a known roadmap: Guidewire developers for an upgrade, Java engineers for integration services or front-end developers for a new agent portal. They work in your squads under your leadership.
An AI pod team suits a specific AI outcome, such as claims document intake, submission triage for underwriters or a fraud model that flags suspicious claims for investigators. The pod is a dedicated team with a tech lead and ML and backend engineers that builds inside your cloud, keeps people in the decision loop and ships weekly.
Ways to hire insurance software developers
| Option | Best for | Trade-offs |
|---|
| Freelance marketplace | Small front-end or reporting tasks | Core platform skills like Guidewire are rare on marketplaces. Data access is hard to control. |
| Staffing or recruiting agency | Contract roles on large programs | Platform certifications on a resume do not prove delivery experience. Screening depth varies. |
| In-house recruiting | Long-term platform owners | Insurance platform specialists are scarce and slow to hire. |
| Ryz Labs staff augmentation | Adding senior engineers to modernization or digital teams | You lead priorities and standards. Best with a defined program. |
| Ryz Labs AI pod team | Claims, underwriting or fraud AI built in your cloud | Scoped as a team with a plan, not a single hire. |
Ryz is not the right fit if you want a management consultancy to run a multi-year transformation strategy, or a licensed insurance software product. We provide engineering teams.
Why Latin American engineers
Many senior Latin American engineers have spent years on US insurance programs, from core platform implementations to claims apps, through global consultancies and product companies. They tend to bring strong Java and .NET backgrounds, the languages most insurance cores and integrations run on.
Core system projects involve a lot of live coordination with actuaries, underwriters, claims leaders and platform vendors. Working within an hour of US time zones lets your engineers sit in those sessions, resolve batch failures the same day and keep release windows on schedule.
