REMOTE or SF | $110K – $180K | 0.25% – 0.5% | Full time

We are looking for experienced backend engineers to join a small team building an insurance product that everyone needs – a community safety net that is free of “necessary” evil.

We use Scala on the backend and Scala.js on the frontend. Insurance is a “consistency” focused industry, so most of our core processes are built around Event Sourcing with a pragmatic functional codebase. As we expand into new states and new products, handling the resulting N x M complexity will be critical to maintain our ability to ship quickly.

Role

• Build complex backend workflows that power simple concepts exposed to users

• Build confidence in solutions through testing

• Take loose requirements and come up with solutions that fit the problem

• Engage in thoughtful peer reviews, set the right kind of quality bar

Requirements

• Intermediate to Senior level; ability to hit the ground running

• Scala experience, specifically FP tools like fs2, cats, scalaz and zio (we use cats)

• Experience with auditable systems: CQRS, event sourcing, or similar techniques

• Effective communication in a remote-first workflow

• Desire to fix a backward industry that is built on poor customer experiences

• Passion for building things from concept to implementation to production

Nice to have

• Work experience in Insurance/Fintech/Banking, any sort of regulated environment

• Scala.js experience (we use Scala.js with React/Relay on the frontend)

• GraphQL experience

• Understanding of accounting and money moving fundamentals
