Role Summary

We are seeking top-tier Lead Engineers who can design, build, and deliver large-scale distributed systems with high performance, reliability, and operational excellence. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on engineer with expert system design ability, deep understanding of distributed architectures, and strong communication and leadership skills.

The Lead Engineer must be able to convert complex and ambiguous requirements into a fully engineered architecture and implementation plan covering components, data flows, infrastructure, observability, and operations.

Key Responsibilities

1. End-to-End System Architecture

  • Architect scalable, reliable, and secure systems from initial concept through production rollout.
  • Define system boundaries, components, service responsibilities, and integration points.
  • Produce high-level (HLD) and low-level design (LLD) documents.
  • Ensure designs meet performance, reliability, security, and cost objectives.
  • Make informed design trade-offs with solid technical reasoning.

2. Component & Communication Design

  • Break complex systems into independently deployable services.
  • Define APIs, communication contracts, data models, and event schemas.
  • Apply modern architecture patterns such as microservices, event-driven design, DDD, CQRS, and hexagonal architecture.
  • Ensure component clarity, maintainability, and extensibility.

3. Communication Protocol & Middleware

  • Design both sync and async communication layers: REST, RPC, gRPC, message queues, event streams (Kafka/Kinesis/Pulsar).
  • Define retry/timeout strategies, circuit breakers, rate limiting, and versioning strategies.
  • Handle backpressure, partitioning, delivery semantics (at-least/at-most/exactly once).

4. Data Architecture & Storage Strategy

  • Architect data models and storage strategies for SQL and NoSQL databases, distributed caches, blob stores, and search indexes.
  • Define sharding/partitioning, replication, consistency, indexing, backup/restore, and schema evolution strategies.
  • Design real-time and batch data processing pipelines.

5. Operational Readiness

  • Define observability (metrics, logs, traces) requirements.
  • Collaborate with DevOps to ensure deployment, monitoring, alerts, and incident management readiness.
  • Provide production support as a senior technical owner.

6. Leadership & Influence

  • Lead technical discussions, design reviews, and cross-team collaboration.
  • Mentor engineers and help elevate team practices.
  • Influence technology direction and architectural standards.

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong backend and distributed systems background.
  • Proven track record of leading large-scale architecture and delivery of production systems.
  • Expert in system design with the ability to simplify ambiguity and craft robust solutions.
  • Strong programming experience in one or more languages (Java, Go, Python, C++).
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, message streaming, queues, RPC/REST, and event-driven architecture.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and container technologies (Kubernetes/Docker).
  • Strong communication, documentation, and leadership skills.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with large-scale messaging/streaming (Kafka/Pulsar), caching, and NoSQL.
  • Experience designing for high availability, fault tolerance, and performance at scale.
  • Mentoring and leading global engineering teams.
  • Familiarity with observability tooling (Grafana, Prometheus, Jaeger).

Insurity’s Next Software Engineer II

We are seeking an experienced and highly capable Software Engineer II to join our Bridge product team. This role offers the opportunity to shape the future of a core Insurity platform by building new features, modernizing both frontend and backend components, and improving system performance. The ideal candidate will bring strong technical depth, collaborative instincts, and an automation mindset—along with a passion for using next-generation tooling to enhance delivery. You’ll play a key role in projects that include UI/API modernization, system integrations, and performance tuning, while also helping to adopt agentic workflows and internal automations that scale team impact.

 

What Our Software Engineer II Will Do

  • Design, build, and ship features across a large .NET microservices suite; own your code from design through production.
  • Own quality as part of engineering: write and maintain the automation needed to protect your services (unit, integration, contract, and targeted e2e). “Done” = coded, reviewed, tested, observable, deployed.
  • Evolve APIs (REST/JSON; some SOAP): define clear contracts, enforce backward-compatibility with contract tests.
  • Level up automation & CI/CD: improve pipelines, quality gates, coverage, and deployment reliability; reduce flaky tests and speed feedback loops.
  • Operate what you build: add logs/metrics/traces, triage issues, root-cause and fix defects.
  • Partner with QA on test strategy for your changes; QA is a collaborator, not a handoff.
  • Lean into generative AI to go faster—safely:
  • Use coding assistants (e.g., Copilot/ChatGPT/Replit) to draft code/tests/docs and verify outputs.
  • Generate synthetic test data/cases from API contracts; summarize PRs, changelogs, and incidents.
  • Build lightweight internal automations (e.g., PR reviewers, log triage helpers) under our governance.
  • Document decisions and how to test/use your services.

     Within 6–18 months you will:

  • Independently deliver simple → moderately complex enhancements end-to-end with solid estimates.
  • Extend shared test/utilities as needed for your services (you’re not a test-framework team).
  • Write concise technical docs for engineers, QA, support, and ops.

 

Who We’re Looking For

  • 6–10 years building and shipping production services/features.
  • C#/.NET (ASP.NET Core, Web API), SQL Server; microservices fundamentals (service boundaries, resiliency, observability).
  • Quality-through-code (must-have): you routinely add unit/integration/contract tests for the code you ship; comfortable with Playwright/Cypress or Postman/Newman for targeted e2e; GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps/Jenkins for CI/CD and quality gates.
  • Generative AI fluency (must-have): practical experience using coding assistants to accelerate delivery, crafting prompts, checking/ground-truthing outputs, and safely handling code/data (privacy & IP). Bonus: generating test data/cases, PR summaries, or simple internal automations; exposure to vendor AI features or no/low-code connectors
  • Strong API design & documentation; SOAP familiarity is a plus.
  • Solid engineering practices: OOP, SOLID, data structures/algorithms, Git, reviews, reproducible builds.
  • Azure/DevOps exposure desirable (pipelines, IaC basics, monitoring).
  • Automation mindset: linters/formatters, build/deploy scripts, DB migrations, scaffolding/code-gen.
  • Clear communicator; collaborates well with Product/QA/Ops; change agent within 6–12 months.
  • Nice to have: Insurance domain exposure (claims/policy/billing/underwriting).
  • Hybrid role (we just built a brand-new office space!)
