Descrizione del lavoro

Pie’s mission is to empower small businesses to thrive by making commercial insurance affordable and as easy as pie. We leverage technology to transform how small businesses buy and experience commercial insurance. Like our small business customers, we are a diverse team of builders, dreamers, and entrepreneurs who are driven by core values and operating principles that guide every decision we make. Pie Insurance's Technology team builds and operates a suite of applications and services that allow direct consumers, partners, and agents to manage commercial insurance policies. The team collaborates closely with our business partners to design and implement new features to help the company scale with increasing demand. We are seeking highly motivated Backend Engineers who encourage an environment where engineers are thought leaders and foster a culture of diversity and inclusion. Acting as leaders across the organization on design, architecture, and best practices, they elevate those around them and push the company forward.

How You'll Do It

• You’ll define and evolve our AWS infrastructure as code using CDK, treating infrastructure with the same review, testing, and release discipline as application code

• You’ll leverage AI-powered development tools (e.g., Claude Code) as part of your daily workflow to accelerate code generation, testing, and documentation.
• You’ll participate in peer code reviews across both application and infrastructure changes, ensuring the delivery of high-quality code and adherence to coding standards.
• You’ll write clean, maintainable, and efficient code primarily in TypeScript (with some C# preferred).
• You’ll collaborate transparently with product management, designers, stakeholders, and fellow engineers throughout the development process.
• You’ll help shape the design and architecture of scalable, secure, and robust systems and applications.
• You’ll deliver software using continuous delivery pipelines, contributing to enhancing and optimizing these pipelines.
• You’ll assist our support and operations teams by triaging and resolving production issues in a timely manner.
• You’ll build highly modular and reusable code while adhering to industry standards and best practices.
• You’ll participate in on-call rotations, consistently seeking opportunities to improve operational stability and system visibility.
• You’ll continuously learn and stay up-to-date on software engineering best practices and new technologies to improve our systems.
