About the Role
Join the continued build-out of a production-grade surplus lines platform — a system already handling real policy processing, compliance workflows, and reporting for an active business. This isn't a greenfield project or a maintenance gig: you'll step into a complex, live system, understand its workflows quickly, and independently own solutions across the full stack. If you're a strong engineer first — comfortable across frontend, backend, and workflow orchestration — this is a long-term engagement with real technical depth.
What You'll Do
- Design, develop, and maintain full-stack application features across frontend and backend systems
- Build and support integrations with third-party systems and APIs
- Develop workflow-driven processes using Temporal
- Build scalable APIs and backend services using Python
- Maintain and optimize relational databases using PostgreSQL
- Develop reporting and analytics capabilities using charting libraries
- Contribute to AI-enabled features and integrations within the platform
- Improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes
- Participate in architecture discussions and help shape long-term technical direction
- Work closely with business and technical stakeholders to deliver production-ready solutions
What You Bring
- 7+ years of full stack software engineering experience
- Strong proficiency in Python, with solid backend API development experience
- Strong frontend experience with modern web frameworks
- Proven experience designing and building scalable applications with sound architecture
- Hands-on experience with Temporal and workflow orchestration patterns
- Familiarity with asynchronous processing and event-driven systems
- Strong PostgreSQL, SQL, and data modeling experience
- Experience building reporting dashboards using charting libraries such as Chart.js, D3.js, or Plotly
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and cloud environments
- Strong English communication skills, with availability during U.S. business hours
Nice to Have
- Experience in insurance, surplus lines, or compliance-based applications
- Experience integrating with third-party vendors and external APIs
- Experience with AI tooling, LLM integrations, and context engineering
- Experience building intelligent automation features
