ABOUT THE EMPLOYER
We’re building a new insurance platform for a US specialty insurer, to replace the legacy system that runs their whole business today. It covers quoting, rating, policies, billing, claims, agency management and the vendor integrations around them. The first program goes live on the new platform in early 2027, and the existing book moves over a few months later.
You’ll lead the backend. The design and data model are still open, so you’ll shape them, then build most of it alongside a small team. The work is LLM-assisted and moves fast, and you’ll demo it to the client every few weeks.
WHAT WILL YOU WORK ON?
Design the core: a policy ledger with effective-dated changes, endorsements, cancellations and renewals, plus an audit trail that records every change
Build a configurable rating engine. Underwriters change rates and rules through configuration instead of code changes
Build background work with Celery: billing schedules, renewal batches, notices, and an event pipeline that stays reliable under load
Connect the platform to around 20 outside vendors (payments, property data, e-signature, print and mail) behind one integration layer
Migrate years of policy, billing and claims data out of the old system without losing a cent
Set the standards, review the code, and keep the team unblocked
WHAT SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
7+ years of backend engineering, most of it in Python
Production FastAPI (or a similar framework), Celery or another task queue, and PostgreSQL you’ve tuned and modeled yourself
You’ve designed a system from scratch and owned it in production
AWS in production, with Docker, Terraform (or similar) and CI/CD you set up
Experience with financial or transactional data: ledgers, money, dates that matter
You use AI coding tools every day and know where they go wrong
Clear spoken and written English. You’ll talk to the client most weeks
Insurance experience is a plus, not a requirement
WHAT MAKES YOU A STRONG FIT
You’d rather ask a clear question than guess at a requirement
You can explain a design to engineers and to non-technical stakeholders
You make the engineers around you better
