Verisk Employee Privacy Notice

• Proven experience managing software engineering teams of comparable scale, including managing other people-managers (e.g., Team Leads), not only individual contributors.

• Strong technical judgment and systems thinking: able to evaluate architecture, tradeoffs, and risk, and engage directly and credibly in technical decisions, even outside your own prior stack experience.

• Demonstrated problem-solving ability: a track record of diagnosing and resolving complex technical and organizational problems, not just managing others who solve them.

• Ability to synthesize across technical, product, and business context: connecting delivery data, incidents, stakeholder input, and strategic priorities into clear decisions and direction.

• Demonstrated ability to rapidly build technical fluency in unfamiliar domains, including using AI-assisted tools to accelerate ramp-up and decision-making. This is core to how the role operates, not a nice-to-have.

• Direct experience owning or significantly evolving CI/CD pipelines for a production codebase.

• Direct experience leading a legacy-to-modern technology migration (framework, platform, or architecture upgrade) while maintaining active delivery commitments.

• Demonstrated ownership of production delivery, incident response, and operational excellence for a widely used software product.

• Track record of coaching and developing engineering leads and senior engineers.

• Effective communicator able to engage both technical and non-technical, cross-functional stakeholders (Product, QA, architecture).

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience with desktop or native client application engineering (e.g., C#/.NET, WPF, WinForms, or a comparable native UI framework): a plus, not required.

• Experience with Windows installer and release engineering.

• Experience leading distributed teams across US and international (particularly India) time zones.

• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted engineering tools and practices.

• Familiarity with cloud-hosted services that a desktop application integrates with (this role does not own cloud infrastructure directly).

• Experience in an insurance, claims, or similarly regulated/data-sensitive domain.

Success Measures

• Consistent, predictable delivery against committed timelines.

• Stable production health: incident frequency, severity, and time-to-resolution trending favorably for the desktop client.

• Demonstrated coaching impact: growth and retention of team leads and senior engineers under your leadership.

• Successful, low-disruption execution of platform modernization work, including measurable CI/CD pipeline improvements.

• Effective cross-functional partnership with Product and QA reflected in delivery predictability and stakeholder confidence.

People Management

• Manage 4 team leads and 3 principal engineers directly, providing coaching, career development, and performance management.

• Create clarity and accountability for individual and team goals across a ~30-person org.

• Drive hiring, onboarding, performance reviews, and compensation input for your reports.

• Support the growth of leads and engineers through regular feedback and mentoring, regardless of location or time zone.

Delivery & Execution

• Own reliable, high-quality delivery across the team's active initiatives.

• Collaborate with Product, QA, and architecture to scope, prioritize, and plan work against committed deadlines, and own outcomes in partnership with them rather than just executing assigned scope.

• Remove delivery impediments and own escalation paths for the team.

• Own production support, monitoring, and incident response for a widely used desktop client.

Technical Leadership & Modernization

• Provide direction on technical decisions in partnership with principal engineers and architects across a large modular monorepo (shared business, data, database, and UI libraries), grounded in technical judgment and systems thinking, not necessarily prior hands-on time in this exact stack.

• Own CI/CD pipeline health for the team: build, test, and release automation across the monorepo, evolving it as the codebase and delivery cadence grow.

• Own release and deployment engineering, ensuring build, packaging, and update processes stay reliable as the platform evolves.

• Lead the team's legacy-to-modern technology transitions, balancing continued feature delivery against migration debt and sequencing risk.

• Ensure code quality, scalability, and maintainability across a mix of modernized and legacy .NET targets.

• Champion engineering best practices, including testing, secure development, and technical documentation.

• Use delivery and quality data to inform decisions and communicate status to stakeholders.

• Serve as a point of technical continuity for a product deeply integrated into the broader insurance claims ecosystem: assignment/intake workflows, estimate synchronization, pricing, policy/coverage context, compliance validation, and partner data exchange.

Org & Culture

• Model hands-on leadership in AI-assisted engineering practices, at the individual, team, and organizational level, rather than delegating AI adoption to others.

• Drive engagement and inclusion across the team.

• Influence engineering-wide practices as scope expands; participate in org-wide initiatives and guilds.

The Technical Environment You'll Lead

You don't need pre-existing expertise in this exact stack to succeed here. You need the technical judgment and ability to ramp quickly, including with AI-assisted tools, into:

• C#/.NET Windows desktop application development; WPF as the primary UI framework with some WinForms; MVVM-oriented architecture.

• SQLite-backed local data and storage.

• Large modular monorepo with shared business, data, database, and UI libraries; MSBuild, Visual Studio, NuGet.
