Pacific Life Re Tech Stack
Global reinsurance underwriting platform for life, protection, and longevity risk
Pacific Life Re underwrites life, critical illness, income protection, and longevity reinsurance across six continents, backed by a 150-year parent company. The tech stack reveals a finance-ops hybrid: identity and security infrastructure (CyberArk, Okta, Entra) paired with analytics (Alteryx, Power BI, Prophet) and modern development tools (Python, TypeScript, React, AWS). Finance is hiring at 3.6× the rate of engineering, while active projects center on pricing models, biometric assumptions, and underwriting automation—signaling investment in analytical depth and operational efficiency over platform infrastructure.
