This role is a full stack engineer with 20% frontend / 80% backend. 

 

Join Liberty Mutual as a Senior Software Engineer and help digitally transform a trillion dollar industry. You’ll build cloud-native, customer-centric products on AWS using serverless technologies and modern JavaScript frameworks in an agile, test-driven environment, combining the creative energy of a startup with the resources and stability of a Fortune 100 company. Expect meaningful impact, modern DevOps/IaC practices, and plenty of room to grow while tackling complex, high-visibility problems. 

 

Responsibilities:

 

• Collaborative partner: Working side-by-side with business colleagues and interacting with customers, you’ll address their technical challenges and ensure quality through collaborative, test- and behavior-driven development
• Problem solver: Complex problems often require innovative, creative approaches and you’ll work to come up with outside-the-box solutions to solve them.
• Customer-centric developer: You understand who we’re here to serve and the products you develop will keep the end-user front and center.
• Forward thinker: Simply fixing the problem isn’t enough; using your proactive mindset and initiative, you’ll continually look for ways to improve performance, quality and efficiency.

 

Skills:

 

• Strong testing practices: unit, integration and end-to-end testing; test-driven development (TDD); emphasis on code quality and rigorous code-review discipline.

• Git/GitHub experience.
• Exceptional candidates will have an AWS Certification.
• Solid experience with AWS (Lambda, Glue, DynamoDB) and cloud platforms (AWS preferred; Azure or Google Cloud knowledge is a plus).
• Strong development skills in Java and Spring Boot; ability to code in multiple languages (object-oriented languages preferred, e.g., Java/J2EE) and experience with JavaScript frameworks and runtimes (Node.js, Angular, React).
• Solid understanding of cloud technologies and architecture patterns (serverless, microservices, event-driven).
• Demonstrated success in platform modernization initiatives using REST, microservices, cloud platforms, and technologies such as Java, Node.js and Spring Boot.
• Experience working in an Agile environment (Scrum, Kanban, or XP).
• Familiarity with CI/CD and DevOps tooling and practices.
• Infrastructure-as-Code experience (AWS CDK, Terraform, or CloudFormation).

• Proficiency in software engineering languages and tools, including Java and RESTful services, spanning horizontal and vertical packages
