Build systems at global scale. Ship daily. Own real impact.

What you’ll do

• Ship production-ready code daily across backend and frontend systems.
• Design and scale services for milliseconds-level performance and reliability.
• Level up developer velocity by improving CI/CD pipelines and tools.
• Influence architecture and drive modernization of core services.
• Mentor peers and raise the bar on engineering standards.
• Launch and expand Document Hub - our intelligent document storage system - by building scalable APIs and deprecating legacy services.
• Contribute to the rollout of our Rule Engine, defining dynamic document logic that speeds up claim processing.
• Implement just-in-time document validation, ensuring users only upload what’s needed at the right moment.
• Boost developer productivity with a smoother Node.js stack, better testing/debugging flows, and streamlined CI/CD.
• Leave systems better than you found them through modernization, observability, and clear documentation.
