Brief Summary of Role

Hard work, high standards, real impact. Obie is on a mission to redefine real estate insurance, and we need motivated full-stack engineers (React, GraphQL, Node.js) to help us build. This isn’t just a coding job—it’s an opportunity to shape our product, our team, and our company from the ground up. The work will be fast, challenging, and deeply rewarding. If you're looking for a place where your code actually matters, read on.

How We Show Up as a Tech Team

• We show up for each other, in the quality of our work, and in the simplicity of our solutions.
• Make an impact. We’re growing fast, and this role offers the chance to influence key decisions and take on leadership opportunities.
• Move fast, ship faster. We deploy multiple times per day and ship features in days, not months. If you love speed and iteration, you’ll thrive here.

What You'll Do

• Build. Ship. Improve. Write high-quality, high-performance, maintainable code.
• Own your work—write tests, review code, and keep tech debt in check.
• Architect and develop applications, databases, and APIs that drive our platform.
• Collaborate across teams to solve real business challenges.
• Power our partnerships by building and scaling APIs that turn archaic systems into elegant, real-time integrations.
• Build dashboards that our customers and agents rely on daily to make sense of their life and work.
• Automate workflows so Obie employees can move faster and focus on high-value work.
• Help us go to market with new insurance products and state expansions in record time.

What You'll Bring

• Experience with React, Node.js, TypeScript, relational databases, testing frameworks, and CICD tools.
• A bias for action—strong ability to prioritize, multitask, and deliver.
• Agile mindset—comfortable with fast iterations and quick pivots.
• Clear, effective communication, especially in a distributed team environment.
• 2+ years of experience in software development.
• Degree in CS or related field preferred—but talent and drive matter more.

🚀 This role is not for everyone. It’s for builders, problem-solvers, and engineers who want their work to mean something. If that’s you, let’s talk.
