• Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to craft innovative capabilities in our API products, enabling the building blocks of new customer experiences. 
• Design and implement modern Java services that connect our platform to integration partners, powering dynamic and user-friendly experiences. 
• Make high-level technical and architectural decisions to ensure our solutions are secure, reliable, and scalable as we grow. 
• Own features end-to-end from technical design and implementation through testing, deployment, and production monitoring. 
• Make well-reasoned design decisions and tradeoffs in your domain, authoring technical design documents, API documentation, and architectural proposals. 
• Develop testing suites and validation strategies including integration tests, to deliver complex outcomes while maintaining high software quality. 
• Mentor other engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and design discussions to foster a culture of excellence and collaboration. 
• Expand and evolve our integration strategy, connecting third-party contractor networks, service providers, and our internal underwriting systems. 

 

We’re looking for someone who has: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience.  
• 5+ years of experience building and deploying software applications.  
• Strong experience with Java and modern Java tooling for backend development. 
• A proven track record of designing scalable, secure APIs and integration solutions. 
• Experience mentoring and guiding engineering teams. 
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate across teams. 
• A proactive, curious mindset with a passion for building technology that makes a tangible difference. 

 

Highly preferred candidates also have: 

• Experience working in Insurtech or Fintech environments.
