Software Engineer

Commercial lines, personal lines and specialty programs are run as separate business units. Agents, brokers and direct customers all buy through our platforms, with policy administration on Guidewire. Most of the office has been here more than ten years.

About the role:

We are backfilling a position after an internal move. This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people.

Your responsibilities:

• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green
• 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
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk
• 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
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of professional software development experience
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Preferred qualifications:

• Prior work at an early-stage startup
• Kubernetes and Docker in production
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform
