We're Looking for an experienced Technical Lead!
About the Company:
Security Benefit is a leader in the U.S. retirement market with more than $75 billion in assets under management. We offer opportunities to thrive, innovate, and make an impact. As part of our team, you’ll play a key role in driving the future of the U.S. retirement industry. Security Benefit is a PLACE where we promise to help our customers To and Through Retirement®.
We’re proud to have been recognized as one of the best in the business:
- Named to Ward’s 50 list of top-performing life-health insurance companies
- Recognized on list of Ingram’s Top 100 Private Companies in the Kansas City area in 2025
ABOUT THE ROLE
Security Benefit's Firm & Advisor Onboarding (FAO) and Annuity & Mutual Fund Custodial (AMFC) teams own how firms and advisors get onboarded, how business is submitted through our eApp platforms (Firelight/Affirm, AnnuityNet/AN4), and how transactions and replacements settle through DTCC and our custodial partners. Wirehouse onboarding and new product launches to DTCC digitization and custodial data quality. As the Technical Lead for both teams, you operate within Security Benefit's Customer Centric Delivery Model (CCDM): the Product Manager or Platform Lead owns the “what” — product and platform outcomes, the roadmap, and quarterly planning — and you own the “how” — technical architecture, Enabler Epics, feasibility, and engineering quality that make that roadmap achievable.
This is a technical leadership role, not a delivery-ownership role. You partner closely with the Product Manager / Platform Lead, Business Systems Analyst, and Delivery Manager on both teams, but the roadmap, quarterly planning accountability, business stakeholder relationships, and delivery facilitation belong to them, not to you. You will occasionally write code — to prototype a solution, evaluate a vendor capability, or step in on a hard problem — but your primary output is sound architecture, Enabler Epics that create the runway for business work, technical feasibility assessments, and engineering quality across both teams.
The Technical Lead position reports to the Senior Manager, Platform Engineering and can be based out of our home office in Topeka, Kansas, our Overland Park, KS office or remotely for the right candidate. We work a hybrid schedule, offering flexibility to work both remotely and on-site.
Responsibilities
- Architecture & Design Decisions. Own technical architecture and design decisions across the eApp platforms (Firelight/Affirm, AnnuityNet/AN4), DTCC transaction networks, and Security Benefit's internal onboarding and custodial platforms, ensuring solutions adhere to the technology architecture and standards set by the platform organization.
- Enabler Epic Creation & Sequencing. Partner with the Product Manager / Platform Lead to decompose Initiatives into Epics — providing sizing estimates and creating the Enabler Epics that establish the architectural runway for Business Epics.
- Technology Evaluation & Vendor Technical Partnership. Own technology evaluation and governance for both teams' tools and integrations — partnering with the Platform Lead on any enterprise-wide platform decisions — and serve as the primary technical partner with eApp, DTCC, and other vendor engineering teams.
- Technical Debt Advocacy. Identify technical debt across both teams and advocate for it, partnering with the Product Manager or Platform Lead on how it gets sequenced into the roadmap.
- Code Quality & Engineering Standards. Set engineering standards for both teams, conduct code reviews, and guide technical implementation decisions throughout each Iteration.
- Technical Feasibility & Risk Management. Assess technical feasibility from Portfolio Flow intake through delivery — flagging technology opportunities or constraints early and confirming feasibility before an Initiative is approved.
- Backlog & Iteration Participation. Attend Backlog Refinement and Iteration Planning to validate feasibility and add technical acceptance criteria, validate technical quality at Iteration reviews, and resolve technical blockers that impede the team.
- QPE & Quarterly Cadence. Finalize the Enabler Epic list ahead of Quarterly Planning (QPE), provide sizing estimates for Business Epics, and present and advocate for Enabler Epics at QPE — confirming that Enablers which must precede Business Epics are correctly sequenced.
- Cross-Team Technical Consultation. Surface technical dependencies and architecture risks at Cross-Team Sync, and consult with other Tech Leads on cross-team architecture, standards, and shared infrastructure.
- Mentorship. Mentor engineers across both teams through code review, pairing, and technical coaching, and serve as the go-to technical resource.
- Occasional Hands-On Development. Engage in hands-on development on an occasional basis — prototyping, spikes, or unblocking a team on a hard problem — while keeping the majority of your time on architecture, feasibility, and engineering quality.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
- Minimum 8 years of experience in software engineering or technical leadership, including significant prior hands-on development experience — you understand the craft deeply even though this role is not primarily a coding role.
- Demonstrated experience owning technical architecture and design decisions for vendor-built or third-party platforms and their integrations.
- Experience creating and sequencing Enabler Epics (or an equivalent technical work breakdown) that establish the architectural runway for business-facing work.
- Experience assessing technical feasibility and managing technical risk across the full project lifecycle, from early discovery through delivery.
- Track record of identifying and advocating for technical debt remediation, and partnering with a Product Manager or Platform Lead on how it gets sequenced.
- Experience setting engineering standards, running code reviews, and guiding implementation decisions for a team.
- Experience serving as the primary technical partner to vendor engineering teams (for example, a platform or system-of-record vendor).
- Familiarity with DTCC transaction networks and processes (for example, Replacement Processing / RPL, Attachment API, Carrier-to-Carrier replacement, scheduled releases) a strong plus.
- Experience with eApp / point-of-sale platforms for annuities (for example, Firelight, AnnuityNet) a strong plus.
- Experience partnering with a Business Systems Analyst on the technical accuracy of requirements.
- Working knowledge of full-stack, cloud-native architecture (TypeScript / React, REST integration, SQL / data, AWS) sufficient to guide design decisions and speak credibly with engineers and vendors, even if you are not writing production code day-to-day.
- Insurance, annuity, retirement, or custodial / transfer-of-assets domain experience strongly preferred: familiarity with firm and advisor onboarding, eApp submission, and DTCC-based settlement and replacement processing.
- Comfort collaborating directly with external vendor and distributor engineering teams as a technical peer.
- Experience operating within a scaled agile or product / platform operating model (for example, SAFe or a similar Portfolio → Product/Platform → Team flow structure) a plus.
- Financial services or other regulated-industry experience preferred.

Search Insurance Jobs in KansasInsurance Green Card Sponsorship Jobs in Kansas: Frequently Asked Questions
Which insurance companies in Kansas sponsor Green Cards?
Kansas-based employers with a track record of Green Card sponsorship in insurance include Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas, Security Benefit Group, and Kansas Farm Bureau. National carriers operating in the state, such as Travelers and Berkshire Hathaway's insurance subsidiaries, also file PERM labor certifications for specialized roles. Sponsorship activity is most consistent for actuarial, underwriting, and data analytics positions where qualified U.S. candidates are demonstrably scarce.
Which cities in Kansas have the most insurance Green Card sponsorship jobs?
Overland Park and Wichita account for the majority of insurance Green Card sponsorship activity in Kansas. Overland Park, part of the Kansas City metro, hosts regional offices for several national insurers and financial services firms. Wichita is home to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas and other mid-sized carriers. Topeka, as the state capital, sees some activity tied to state-regulated insurance and government health programs.
What types of insurance roles typically qualify for Green Card sponsorship in Kansas?
Roles requiring highly specialized credentials tend to qualify most consistently. Actuaries with FSA or FCAS designations, senior underwriters with niche commercial lines expertise, risk analysts, compliance officers, and data scientists supporting insurance pricing models are among the positions Kansas employers most often sponsor. These roles typically involve a minimum bachelor's degree requirement in a specific field, satisfying the specialty occupation or PERM labor market criteria employers must meet.
How do I find insurance Green Card sponsorship jobs in Kansas?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international job seekers pursuing Green Card sponsorship in the United States, including insurance roles in Kansas. The platform filters jobs by visa type and state, so you can browse verified sponsorship opportunities without sifting through postings from employers who don't sponsor. Searching for insurance positions in Kansas on Migrate Mate surfaces roles from carriers and agencies that have demonstrated willingness to file PERM or other Green Card-related petitions.
Are there state-specific considerations for Green Card sponsorship in Kansas insurance jobs?
Kansas does not impose additional state-level immigration requirements on top of federal Green Card processes, but the state's insurance market is closely regulated by the Kansas Insurance Department, which affects which roles employers prioritize hiring for long-term. Employers sponsoring through PERM must demonstrate they conducted a good-faith recruitment effort in the Kansas labor market before filing. In smaller metros outside Wichita and Overland Park, fewer employers have established sponsorship infrastructure, so targeting larger regional carriers improves your chances.
What is the prevailing wage for Green Card insurance jobs in Kansas?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
