• Set and maintain a high technical bar, influencing best practices and delivering reliable, scalable software
• Hire, mentor, and build a high-performance engineering team from the ground up
• Drive operational excellence and strong engineering culture while balancing short-term needs with long-term vision

Why Join?

• Work alongside a smart, driven team solving complex problems in the insurance and data space
