Job description

At Attune, we’re changing small business insurance in a big way. Small business owners need insurance to protect their businesses, but when it comes time to get a policy, they’re bogged down by hundreds of questions, lots of paperwork, and a seemingly never‑ending timeline stretching for weeks or months. We are changing all that. By using data and technology expertise to understand risk, automating legacy processes, and creating a better user experience for brokers, we’re able to provide policies that are more applicable and more transparent in just minutes. Simply put, we’re pushing insurance into the future, focusing on accuracy, speed, and ease.

Our mission and our team are growing. In staying true to our values, we’ve earned our spot on many workplace award lists. Attune is dedicated to creating a diverse team of curious, focused, and motivated people who are excited about changing the future of an entire industry.

Position Overview

As a Senior Software Engineer at Attune, you will be a technical leader responsible for the architecture, design, and execution of the systems that power our platform. You will tackle high‑impact projects, contribute production‑quality code, and shape the long‑term engineering solutions of the company. This role demands expert technical skills, a commitment to quality, and a collaborative mindset. Beyond individual contribution, you will drive engineering excellence by mentoring other engineers and continuously improving our practices, tools, and documentation.

Key Responsibilities

• Architectural Leadership: Lead the design and implementation of complex technology projects and strategic initiatives.
• System Development: Develop, test, and deploy high‑quality, production‑ready code for large‑scale software components.
• Code Quality & Governance: Set the standard for code quality by performing rigorous peer reviews and establishing best practices across the engineering organization.
• Complex Problem Solving: Solve sophisticated software problems involving high risk or complexity with minimal need for refinement.
• Impactful Delivery: Drive significant improvements in software quality, system performance, and the end‑customer experience.
• Operational Excellence: Lead initiatives to improve testability, internal documentation, and operational excellence metrics.
• Cross‑Functional Strategy: Communicate effectively with senior stakeholders and cross‑functional partners, such as SRE and Product, to align technical execution with business goals.
• Technical Stewardship: Proactively manage technical debt and improve runbooks and internal tooling to enhance team velocity.
• Mentorship: Actively mentor engineers and interns, serving as a technical guide to elevate the team’s overall capability.

Qualifications

• Experience: 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (building upon core competencies developed over 2–4 years).
• Proven Track Record: Demonstrated experience delivering production‑quality code and contributing to highly scalable systems or components.
• Computer Science Foundations: Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and advanced software design principles.
• Tooling & CI/CD: Expert knowledge of development tools, version control (e.g., Git), CI/CD pipelines, and comprehensive testing frameworks.
• Infrastructure: Deep familiarity with cloud infrastructure (ideally AWS) and containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes). Familiarity with IaC tools (i.e. Terraform) is encouraged but not required.
• Collaboration: Proven ability to work in a cross‑functional environment, collaborating closely with Product, SRE, and other engineering leads.
• Reliability: Exceptional ability to debug complex issues and contribute to the long‑term reliability and maintainability of systems.
• Leadership Qualities: A strong desire to provide thoughtful feedback during code reviews and an eagerness to grow technical leadership over time.

What We Offer

• Time Off: Flexible PTO
• Family Support: Generous parental and caregiver leave
• Financial Wellness: 401(k) matching
• Health: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans
• Environment: Remote‑first culture with dedicated support for distributed teams
