You may think insurance is just about selling policies and assessing risk – but it takes a lot of technology to keep everything running behind the scenes.

From data scientists to software engineers, Information Technology (IT) jobs can be found in every industry – even insurance. At Erie Insurance, our IT professionals leverage technology to help improve customer experience, protect against cyber threats and maintain software used across the company.

Technology plays a crucial role in connecting the policyholder to the right ERIE employee or agent when they need them most. Whether it’s app development, computer system management or network security, IT professionals are a vital function in the insurance industry.

From our modest roots starting in 1925 as a Pennsylvania auto insurer, we've grown to become a multi-line insurance company, offering auto, home, business and life insurance through our network of independent insurance agents. Today, our geographic presence extends to 12 states and the District of Columbia; from New York to North Carolina and from Wisconsin to Tennessee. The founders had very high principles in mind when they started the company on April 20, 1925. And ERIE’s Founding Purpose has never been lost sight of since.
