About Inletbench:

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Headquartered in Columbus since 1996, the company now sells in 40 countries and supports customers in 11 languages. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

This is a newly created position. Our operations team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. The company is based in Columbus, the US. Our team works from several countries. This is a long-term contractor role, paid monthly in USD. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Day to day:

Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback. Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana. Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates. Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items. Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green. Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents. Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.

Requirements:

3+ years of professional software development experience. Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers. Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up. Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design. Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
