Senior Backend Engineer
Description
We are looking for product-focused and smart engineers who are curious self-starters. We work in distinct cross-functional teams that focus on things such as predicting and preventing financial fraud, providing fully-automating portals for our customers and staff, and support the deployment of a system that processes more than 180,000 quotes per day.
You would be joining as we are scaling from a team of 20-30 to a team of over 100, with the opportunity to do work that really impacts.
We take engineering practices extremely seriously, with nothing being more important than giving our engineers the ability to deploy important features to our customers. You can read more from one of our engineers here.
