Software Engineer

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

JOB DUTIES:

• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 3+ years of professional software development experience
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure
