Insurance engineering has a defining constraint: the old system cannot be turned off while the new one is built. Policy admin platforms from another decade run next to modern APIs, and every integration touches money and regulation. Insurance is one of Nexton's core verticals for a structural reason — this environment filters out shallow seniority fast.

## Why is insurance engineering hard to hire for?

The stack is bimodal. Candidates who only know modern tooling struggle with the legacy half; candidates who grew up in legacy systems may not design clean APIs. The engineers who thrive hold both — and no resume keyword reveals that. It shows up in how someone reasons through an integration problem, which is exactly what a peer interview tests.

## How does the vetting map to insurance needs?

The interviewing engineer probes the seams: how would you wrap a legacy policy system behind a new API, where do you put the boundary, what breaks first under load. Judgment questions, not trivia. The written evaluation lets an insurance client see the reasoning before the first interview.

## What does the engagement look like?

Matched candidates within 72 hours, 4-week average time-to-hire, US time zone overlap for live work with actuarial, claims, and product teams. Same process, applied to a vertical where the cost of a wrong hire compounds.
