Senior Software Engineer

We employ 6,100 people across underwriting, claims, actuarial, IT and customer service. Our claims organisation handles more than 400,000 claims a year, including catastrophe response after hurricanes and hail. Hail season means long days for field adjusters.

About the role:

We are adding a Senior Software Engineer to our Identity team. Our Identity team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. We hire in India through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. A stable internet connection and a backup power option are required.

Main duties:

• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback

Minimum qualifications:

• 7+ years of professional software development experience
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
