Forensic Engineer SME

Job Description

Why Join Mitigateway

We believe that by embedding expert forensic reasoning into scalable AI, we can transform the way risk is understood and adjudicated in property insurance losses.

We build enterprise-grade generative AI systems that make property loss investigations faster, sharper, and more consistent and we advise executives on how to lower losses.

As a Forensic Engineering SME at Mitigateway, you will have the opportunity to:

• Apply your expertise at scale, influencing how billions are spent on claims.
• Shape AI-driven investigation tools that will be used by large insurers.
• Review a high variety of losses that will sharpen your engineering skills.
• Work alongside a small, focused, cross-disciplinary team where your ideas will directly shape industry-leading solutions.

The Role

This is a dual-function role:

• Generative AI Workflow Design: You will be a core contributor to the design and ideation of AI-assisted investigation workflows, working hand-in-hand with our AI engineers to convert your investigative reasoning, decision logic, and failure-mode expertise into tools that perform at scale.
• Portfolio-Level Claims Consulting: You will review and analyse insurance claims, identify missed process improvement opportunities, and advise senior insurer stakeholders on process redesign, training, and AI integration to drive measurable financial gains.

What This Means for Your Career

• Accelerated exposure: You will see more loss scenarios in a year than many forensic engineers see in their careers, across both residential and commercial property losses. You will learn at a high velocity.
• Strategic Influence: Work at the decision-making level of insurers and legal teams.
• Cutting-edge work: You will be at the forefront of enterprise-level generative AI applications in insurance.
• Focused contribution: No frequent site travel, no lab bottlenecks, no site report grind — just meaningful, high-leverage problem solving and impact.

Essential Qualifications

• 5+ years’ experience in forensic engineering, with proven success on high-complexity property loss investigations.
• Exceptional communication skills.
• Ability to translate engineering expertise into clear frameworks, logic, and strategy.
• Deep understanding of how technical findings drive insurance outcomes (coverage, liability, subrogation).

Preferred Qualifications

• Subrogation strategy experience with major insurers.
• Track record in process design, decision logic, or investigative frameworks.
• Demonstrable interest in generative AI, automation, or decision-support technologies.
• Expertise in water or fire damage analysis.
• French is an asset.

What We Offer

• Market-leading competitive compensation, plus bonus tied to individual and company performance.
• A high-trust, high-motivation team where your ideas will carry weight from day one.
• Hybrid or fully remote flexibility, with no frequent travel obligations.
• Flexible time-off policy.
• The chance to shape the tools and processes that define the future of insurance claims investigations.
