Job description

Overview

Aspida is a tech-driven, nimble insurance carrier. Backed by Ares Management Corporation, we offer simple and secure retirement solutions and annuity products with speed and precision. More than that, we’re in the business of protecting dreams; those of our partners, our producers, and especially our clients.

A subsidiary of Ares Management Corporation acts as the dedicated investment manager, capital solutions and corporate development partner to Aspida.

Who We Are

Sometimes, a group of people come together and create something amazing. They don’t let egos get in the way. They don’t settle for the status quo, and they don’t complain when things get tough. Instead, they see a common vision for the future and each person makes an unspoken commitment to building that future together. That’s the culture, the moxie, and the story of Aspida.

Our business focuses on annuities and life insurance. At first, it might not sound flashy, but that’s why we’re doing things differently than everyone else in our industry. We’re dedicated to developing data-driven tech solutions, providing amazing customer experiences, and applying an entrepreneurial spirit to everything we do. Our work ethic is built on three main tenets: Get $#!+ Done, Do It with Moxie, and Have Fun. If this sounds like the place for you, read on, and then apply at aspida.com/careers.

What We Are Looking For

The Full Stack Software Engineer role will revolve primarily around a Node.js backend and a React.js front end while also supporting the team on various side projects, proof of concepts, and production maintenance. The ideal candidate will:

Have strong experience with backend, frontend, JavaScript, relational databases, and error troubleshooting.
Excel at interpersonal communication. A huge part of the success of any team is the willingness and ability to communicate, not just with peers but also all parts of the company and potentially even users.
Be a team player. They will be trusted to help build the future of Aspida and will need to contribute their knowledge and strategies to the architecture and future of the platform. With that trust comes a lot of freedom but also a responsibility to take full ownership of one's work, to do it diligently, and to collaborate with grace and patience.
