Stop wasting quarters on recruiting. Outstaffing gives you immediate access to senior Python engineers who have already solved insurance underwriting automation challenges for carriers, MGAs and insurtechs.
Business impact:
• Launch rating engines in weeks, not months.
• Cut fixed payroll and benefits by up to 40 %.
• Scale squads up or down as premiums seasonally fluctuate.
Why not direct hire?
• We screen for domain-specific actuarial math, regulatory, and ACORD data knowledge—so you don’t have to.
• Our bench is contract-ready; average start time is 5-7 days.
• Transparent rates, no recruitment fees, no long-term lock-ins.

What Technical Leaders Say About Smartbrain.io
Smartbrain.io placed two Python actuaries in 6 days. They plugged into our Django stack, automated rating tables and delivered REST APIs that cut manual underwriting by 70 %. Integration was painless, code quality exceeded our internal bar, and the flex model kept finance happy.
Laura Mitchell
CTO
Crescent Life Assurance
The augmented developers refactored our legacy Flask services, introduced pandas-based risk analytics, and increased quote throughput 3×. Onboarding took one sprint, saving us months compared with traditional hiring.
Evan Roberts
Dev Team Lead
HarborPoint Re
We needed predictive fraud detection fast. Smartbrain’s vetted Python ML engineers deployed XGBoost models, integrated with our underwriting workflow, and reduced false positives by 42 %. Budget stayed on track thanks to the month-to-month contract.
Sophia Carter
Head of Data Science
MetroSure Digital
Our Node stack was choking. Smartbrain supplied Python experts who migrated services to FastAPI, added unit tests, and slashed latency by 58 %. Their domain fluency let product ship without extra BA overhead.
Michael Turner
VP Engineering
Prairie Mutual
Smartbrain provided four senior Python devs to extend our micro-pricing engine. CI/CD, coverage over 90 %, and SOC2 compliance all handled. We met our regulator deadline—impossible with traditional recruiting cycles.
Grace Nguyen
Engineering Manager
Atlantic General Insurance
From ETL to TensorFlow risk scoring, every feature shipped ahead of roadmap. Team velocity climbed 35 %. No HR-related admin on my plate—exactly what a busy CTO needs.

Industries Benefiting from Python-Powered Underwriting Automation
Health Insurance
Python-driven insurance underwriting automation helps health insurers ingest EHR data, apply ICD-10 predictive models, and dynamically price policies. Outstaffed developers craft HIPAA-compliant ETL pipelines, risk scoring algorithms, and FHIR APIs that cut manual nurse reviews and speed quote issuance dramatically.
Life Insurance
Augmented Python experts integrate mortality tables, build rule-based engines, and deploy machine learning that automates life underwriting. Tasks include OCR of medical exams, actuarial model calibration, and secure integrations with reinsurers, all under tight regulatory scrutiny.
Property & Casualty
Developers automate underwriting by processing geospatial and IoT sensor data to evaluate property risk in real time. Python microservices calculate loss probability, flag fraud, and feed automated bind/issue workflows across multiple P&C product lines.
Reinsurance
Python augmentation supports high-volume catastrophe modeling, Monte-Carlo simulations, and treaty pricing APIs. Automated underwriting tools accelerate placement decisions and improve exposure management accuracy for reinsurers worldwide.
Insurtech Start-ups
Seed-stage ventures use outsourced Python teams to rapidly prototype rating engines, integrate policy admin systems, and prove underwriting automation to investors without diluting equity on full-time headcount.
Automotive
Usage-based insurance products rely on Python to stream telematics, calculate real-time premiums, and automate driver underwriting. Augmented developers build scalable Kafka pipelines and actuarial dashboards.
Bank-Owned Insurance
Banks expanding into insurance leverage Python to unify financial and underwriting data, automating compliance checks and cross-product risk scoring in a single platform.
Agriculture
Crop insurers automate underwriting by combining satellite imagery and weather feeds. Python specialists implement image classification models and REST endpoints that deliver near-instant premium decisions to agents in the field.
Employee Benefits
Group policy providers outsource Python development for enrollment data ingestion, automated underwriting rule engines, and API connections with HRIS platforms, reducing manual case setup cycles.
Insurance Underwriting Automation Case Studies
FinSure – Instant Policy Engine
Client: VC-backed insurtech selling on-demand micro-policies.
Challenge: The team needed insurance underwriting automation to approve policies in under 60 seconds.
Solution: Two Smartbrain Python engineers integrated FastAPI micro-services with a Gradient Boosting risk model and ACORD-compliant data pipelines. Working alongside the in-house lead, they delivered continuous deployment in 5 sprints.
Result: 94 % faster quote turnaround, first-call resolution rose to 87 %, and customer acquisition cost dropped by 21 %.
Midwest Mutual – Legacy Modernization
Client: 120-year-old regional carrier.
Challenge: COBOL systems blocked insurance underwriting automation for new commercial lines.
Solution: A squad of four augmented Python developers wrapped legacy mainframe logic with Django REST gateways, then migrated rating algorithms to pandas workflows. Automated tests hit 92 % coverage, satisfying auditors.
Result: Policy issuance latency dropped by 63 %, manual data entry fell 80 %, and IT OPEX saved $1.4 M annually.
Pacific Re – High-Volume Risk Scoring
Client: Global reinsurer processing 5 M submissions daily.
Challenge: Needed scalable insurance underwriting automation to evaluate catastrophe exposure in minutes.
Solution: Smartbrain provided Spark-savvy Python engineers who optimized PySpark jobs, introduced vectorized UDFs, and deployed auto-scaling on AWS EMR.
Result: Processing window shrank from 9 hrs to 42 min; actuarial team productivity increased 3.2×.
