Junior Software Developer

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Karachi, Sindh and two nearshore delivery centres. Founded in 2014, we now have 210 employees.

About the role

This is a new role. The team has doubled in size over the past year. Our Integrations team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. This role is fully remote within Pakistan. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
