Software Developer (Python)

The company underwrites workers' compensation for small and mid-sized employers. Third-party administration is the other half of the business, processing self-funded health claims.

Furrowwater Insurance is hiring for the Software Developer (Python) role on our Developer Experience team. You'll write, test and ship code that runs in production every day. Our Developer Experience 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 India. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Essential duties and responsibilities

Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates. Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review. Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it. Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed. Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk. Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback. Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items. Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.

About you

3+ years of professional software development experience. Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line. Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up. Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI. Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests. Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
