[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Converge Insurance

Role Description

Reporting to our CTO, you will lead the design and delivery of complex, end-to-end product capabilities across the full stack. You will play a key role in technical decision-making, system architecture, and mentoring engineers while partnering closely with product, design, underwriting, and actuarial stakeholders.

• Lead the design, development, and ownership of full-stack features across React/Next.js frontends and Python backend services, including scalable GraphQL APIs supporting internal applications and external partner integrations.
• Drive technical solutions from ambiguous requirements through implementation and production release, owning CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, and production stability for supported services.
• Design and implement advanced UI patterns, data visualizations, and analytics-driven workflows in partnership with product and design leaders.
• Ensure high standards of code quality through reviews, testing strategies, and refactoring initiatives — evaluating and championing new technologies and best practices across the stack.
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers through code reviews, pairing, and direct technical guidance, raising the quality bar across the team.
• Collaborate across teams to influence platform architecture, long-term technical direction, and communicate tradeoffs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in full-stack software development.
• Proficiency in Python and TypeScript with React/Next.js; comfortable owning work across the full stack.
• Deep command of software engineering principles: clean code, SOLID, design patterns, distributed systems, and API-first thinking.
• Deep experience designing and maintaining GraphQL APIs and service-oriented architectures.
• Strong experience with AWS, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines in cloud-based architectures.
• Proven ability to design scalable systems and drive sound architectural decisions end-to-end.
• Security-conscious mindset — you write code with data integrity, access control, and SOC 2 compliance in mind from the start.
• Ability to articulate technical tradeoffs clearly to non-engineering stakeholders like underwriters, actuaries, and executives.
• Genuine intellectual curiosity about the intersection of technology, data, and risk — you want to understand the business, not just the codebase.

Requirements

• Familiarity with AI/ML integrations, LLM APIs, or building intelligence into production workflows.
• Experience with event-driven architectures, data pipelines, or tools such as Apache Airflow and Neo4j.
• Knowledge of cyber risk concepts: threat intelligence, vulnerability scoring, and security posture assessment.
• Exposure to SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other compliance frameworks as an active engineering contributor.
• Prior experience at an insurtech, MGA, fintech, regulated data-intensive industries, or early-stage startup.

What Success Looks Like

• Owns complex systems and features end-to-end with no oversight.
• Raises the technical bar across the team through leadership and mentorship.
• Anticipates risks and proactively designs scalable, maintainable solutions.
• Acts as a trusted technical partner to product, design, and leadership.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent.

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Ability to lift up to 15 pounds occasionally.
• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.

Compensation & Benefits

• Pay Range: $7000 – $9000/month (commensurate with experience and location).
