What Is the Opportunity?

Travelers is seeking a Software Engineer I to join our Investments Technology organization as we modernize a critical investment accounting platform and expand our cloud-native capabilities. The individual will complete intermediate end-to-end engineering tasks across a portfolio of Java/Spring Boot microservices, including developing, analyzing, configuring, testing, debugging, troubleshooting, documenting, and implementing based on system design specifications. Work spans both sustaining existing production services — including health monitoring, alerting, and incident response — and contributing to greenfield development using modern front-end frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS cloud infrastructure. The role also includes participating in impact analysis, escalating appropriately, and supporting a team committed to continuous modernization of complex financial systems. Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. The company does not sponsor/support H-1B petitions, TN, or Forms I-983/STEM OPT, for this role.

What Will You Do?

• Perform analysis, design, development, and configuration functions as well as define technical requirements for assignments of intermediate complexity.
• Participate with team to perform analysis, assessment and resolution for defects and incidents of intermediate complexity and escalate appropriately.
• Work within guidelines set by team to independently tackle well-scoped problems.
• Seek opportunities to expand technical knowledge and capabilities.
• Develop and maintain Java/Spring Boot microservices in a cloud-hosted environment.
• Participate in CI/CD pipeline development and deployment automation using modern tooling.
• Work across both established and greenfield applications, including front-end and back-end layers.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

What Will Our Ideal Candidate Have?

• Three years of programming/development experience.
• Delivery - Intermediate delivery skills including the ability to deliver work at a steady, predictable pace to achieve commitments, decompose work assignments into small batch releases and contribute to tradeoff and negotiation discussions.
• Domain Expertise - Demonstrated track record of domain expertise including the ability to understand technical concepts necessary to do the job effectively, demonstrate willingness, cooperation, and concern for business issues and possess in-depth knowledge of immediate systems worked on.
• Problem Solving - Proven problem solving skills including debugging skills, allowing you to determine source of issues in unfamiliar code or systems and the ability to recognize and solve repetitive problems rather than working around them, recognize mistakes using them as learning opportunities and break down large problems into smaller, more manageable ones.
• Communication - Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly and concisely interact with team members, document work in a clear, easy to follow manner, collaborate well with team members, take in well- scoped requirements and ask the right questions to ensure clarification, seek out and receive constructive criticism well and listen when others are speaking.
• Leadership - Intermediate leadership skills with a proven track record of self-motivation in identifying personal growth opportunities.
• Experience with Java and Spring Boot for backend service development.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and containerized deployment concepts.
• Exposure to modern front-end frameworks (React or similar) is a plus.
• Understanding of CI/CD practices and infrastructure-as-co
