Software Engineer II

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. More than 9,000 organizations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts.

The role:

Looking for a Software Engineer II who wants to stay somewhere for a while. 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. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. This role is fully remote within the US. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in. Day-to-day communication is in Slack and Google Meet.

Duties:

• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• 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.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.

What you'll need:

• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.

Perks and benefits:

Pay range: $180,000 to $210,000/year. Final offer will depend on experience.

• Health, dental and vision coverage starting on day one.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid holidays.
• Referral program.
• Three weeks of PTO to start.
• 12 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Vision insurance.

Please include a short note on why this role interests you.

Start: Immediately.
