Job description

Senior Software Engineer - Stop-Loss Platform | Contract-to-Hire | Remote | No sponsorship offered

We're currently partnering with a leading insurance organization on their search for a Senior Software Engineer to help build the next generation of a brand-new Stop-Loss platform.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You'll develop production-ready software in a greenfield environment, taking ownership of key components and features while working closely with architects, senior engineers, and cross-functional partners.

You'll work from established architectural direction, adapting as requirements evolve, and help shape features and platform capabilities as they take form. Day to day, you'll use AI-assisted development tools to work faster and raise quality.

Essential requirements (all are must-haves):

• C#/.NET: current, hands-on experience building production applications.
• React: experience building front-end applications.
• AWS: hands-on experience building and running applications on AWS.
• AI-assisted development: practical experience using tools such as Copilot or Cursor across coding, testing, debugging, and refactoring.

What we're looking for:

6 to 9 years of cumulative software engineering experience, building production-ready applications.

A strong engineer who implements scalable, high-quality solutions from architectural direction and collaborates well with architects and senior engineers.

Comfort in fast-paced, evolving environments, and a solid grasp of engineering best practices for reliable, maintainable systems.

Someone who is coachable, curious, and proactive in asking thoughtful questions, and open to feedback and continuous growth.

Event-driven or microservices experience, Python, and GraphQL are valuable but not essential.

Experience in Insurance, Financial Services, or another regulated environment is desirable, particularly where you've handled sensitive data.

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the US. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing production-ready software for the Stop-Loss platform, taking ownership of key components and features.
• Implementing solutions aligned with the established architecture while adapting to evolving requirements.
• Collaborating with architects, senior engineers, and cross-functional partners to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Helping shape features and platform capabilities in a greenfield environment.
• Applying engineering best practices to build reliable, scalable, and maintainable code.
• Using AI-assisted tools to improve efficiency across coding, testing, debugging, and refactoring.

Why this role is different:

You're joining at the start of a brand-new platform build, not maintaining a legacy system. You'll have real ownership of your work from day one, a team that values curiosity and feedback, and the chance to grow with a new engineering capability.
