About the role
The Underwriting Rules Performance Associate is a detail-oriented underwriting qualified responsible for reviewing automated underwriting decisions to ensure accuracy, consistency, and alignment with Ethos’ guidelines and risk appetite.
This role sits at the intersection of traditional underwriting expertise and modern insurtech — playing a direct role in improving the intelligence of our rules engine and protecting the integrity of every policy we issue. As the Underwriting Engine Integrity team matures, this role is expected to evolve beyond case review into structured rules testing, scenario validation, and regression analysis — making it a strong fit for an underwriter who wants to grow with the function, not just within it. This is a unique opportunity to join a small but highly important team where members will have the ability to shape processes and operate with a high degree of ownership. Early team members will play a foundational role in building and scaling the function, with the opportunity to contribute beyond traditional underwriting responsibilities and help define how underwriting quality and engine integrity evolve at Ethos.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Conduct high-volume reviews of automated underwriting decisions, targeting approximately 50 cases per day as part of a team goal of 300–500 cases per week
