Software Developer

About Kittiwake Insurance Agency:

Founded as a farmers' mutual in 1953, the company is now one of the larger mutual insurers in the US. We started in 1953 and have grown to about 320 people. January renewals keep everyone busy for a few weeks.

The previous person in this role moved to another team. The Software Developer will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. Our headquarters is in Fort Worth, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. We hire in Spain through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

What you'll do:

• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• 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.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.

About you:

• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.

Why work with us:

• Wellness allowance.
• Annual learning budget.
• Home office setup budget.
• Monthly internet allowance.
• Performance bonus.
• Annual salary review.
• Paid parental leave.

Please include your notice period and salary expectations.

Start: Within 30 days.
