What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience building web applications or services across the stack, using at least one modern backend language (e.g., Java, Kotlin, C#, Go, or similar) and one modern frontend framework (e.g., React, Angular, or Vue).

• Strong proficiency in using Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Kotlin and ability to adjust or learn other languages if needed.

• Experience with coding agentic environments (such as Claude Code, Codex, and similar tools) and automation tools.

• Strong understanding of both relational and non-relational databases and data modeling; comfort writing or reviewing queries.

• Experience building APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.

• Previous experience building on cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, or GCP) and container-based deployment (Docker, Kubernetes) is strongly preferred.

• Excellent ability to break down ambiguous problems, propose pragmatic solutions, and iterate quickly in a high-paced AI-assisted development environment.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues from different disciplines and geographies.

• A learning mindset and openness to feedback; willingness to dive into new technologies, insurance domain concepts, and evolving AI and cloud capabilities.

Our Team and PDO Priorities

• You will be part of the Product Development & Operations (PDO) organization emphasizing operational excellence, transformative innovation, and customer-centricity, with a strong focus on AI, cloud, and data platform adoption.
