If you enjoy working through complex requirements, understanding the why behind what you’re building, and continuously sharpening your technical craft, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Write production-quality code 35+ hours per week—this is a true hands-on engineering role
• Collaborate with Product Owners and peers to refine requirements and design thoughtful solutions
• Engage directly with Product Owners to understand business intent and translate it into technical execution
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging to ensure high standards of quality
• Triage production issues and implement minor enhancements and fixes
• Contribute to documentation, code quality practices, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Learn and apply insurance domain knowledge to make better long-term technical decisions

Must-Have Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in Java and Spring Boot (core requirement)
• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• Proficiency building out APIs
• Experience with unit testing, debugging, and maintaining production systems
• Self-starter mindset—able to take broad requirements and work independently
• Strong communication skills and emotional intelligence, with the ability to work directly with Product Owners

Technical Experience That Stands Out

• Experience with or interest in additional languages such as Go, Python, and/or JavaScript
• A genuine enjoyment of learning new programming languages and tools
• Exposure to other languages like Python, Golang, C#, or JavaScript (nice to have, not required)
• Familiarity with AI-driven outcomes or systems (bonus, not required)

What Sets You Apart

• Natural curiosity and a desire to understand how things work
• Openness to feedback and continuous learning
• A thoughtful, quality-focused approach to writing and maintaining software
• Comfort asking questions and engaging in healthy technical discussions

Why Join Us

• Real ownership and autonomy—your ideas and decisions matter
• A culture that values quality, collaboration, and learning
• A role that prioritizes engineering time over meetings
• The opportunity to grow your technical skills while learning a complex and impactful domain like insurance
