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.

The position:

This is a new role. The team has doubled in size over the past year. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people. Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging. Remote position. Most of the team is in Lahore, but nobody is required to come in.

Responsibilities:

• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed

What you need:

• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure

Preferred:

• Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain
• Kubernetes and Docker in production
• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ
• Contributions to open source projects

Compensation and benefits:

• Medical insurance
• Provident fund
• Paid leave
• Life insurance
• Fuel allowance

Candidates must be eligible to work in Pakistan.
