Senior Software Engineer

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. More than 9,000 organizations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts.

The role

This is a backfill for a team member who moved to another 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 need another Senior Software Engineer who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. Remote within the US. The team meets in New York City once a quarter, travel covered. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday.

Day to day

Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates. Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense. Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed. Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents. Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.

Required qualifications

5+ years of professional software development experience. BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure. Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests. Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design. Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line. Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.

Compensation: $168,000 to $230,000/year DOE.

Benefits

Health savings account (HSA) with employer contribution. 401(k) with 4% match. Paid time off. Professional development budget. Profit sharing.
