Insurance Risk Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts (NOW HIRING)

Liberty Mutual Investments manages Liberty Mutual Insurance Group's global financial assets across public and private domains, to create capital and generate income. With over $100 billion in AUM and staffed with 300+ investment, finance and operations professionals located in Boston, MA., Liberty Mutual Investments offers the best of both worlds; the look and feel of a boutique investment firm, and the reputation and financial strength of a Fortune 100 company.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Principal Front-Office Engineer to join our prestigious investment firm. As a Principal Front-Office Engineer, you will serve as the technical lead embedded within the Risk team, driving design and implementation of small-scale applications and proof of concepts that will improve risk analysis, develop AI-enabled workflows, and enhance reporting systems & processes.

You will work closely with risk analysts and investment teams, but your primary focus will be building robust systems and tools that power risk infrastructure, analytics, and decision-ready reporting. We're looking for a hands-on software architect and builder who has experience designing systems, rapidly iterating over them and delivering them across the finish line.

This role is ideal for a Lead or Senior Engineer who thrives as an individual contributor and wants to drive technical direction without moving into management.

Note: This Boston-based role has a hybrid work arrangement (3 days per week in office).
