We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our team and help build, enhance, and scale our products. If you're someone who brings fresh ideas, has a curious mindset, and thrives in an engineering environment focused on delivering strategic business value, we'd love to hear from you.
As a Software Engineer, you'll play a central role in shaping the future of our product suite across the engineering teams at UnderwriteMe. You'll lead technical initiatives, mentor others and help us build systems that are scalable, maintainable, and deliver value to our users. Your work will span the full software development lifecycle, from idea to production, and you'll be empowered to take ownership of complex engineering challenges.
While this is the culture we're striving for, we're not fully there yet, we're looking for engineers who are excited to help us upskill the team and actively shape this environment together.
You'll contribute directly to the development and continuous improvement of our products and platforms, focusing on building adaptable and resilient solutions that can evolve with the needs of our users and business. Whether it’s designing new features or refining existing systems, you'll ensure that everything we build is robust, production-ready, and aligned with our long term goals.
You'll be actively involved in system design and architectural discussions, helping the team arrive at thoughtful, simple solutions to complex problems. Your experience and insight will be key in shaping how the team works, bringing fresh ideas, introducing new ways of thinking and helping to evolve our engineering practices to be more efficient and impactful.
Collaboration will be a core part of your role. You'll work closely with product managers to understand priorities, influence the roadmap, and ensure we maintain a healthy balance between delivering new features and strengthening our technical foundations. You'll also embrace a DevOps mindset, taking full ownership of your code from idea and development through to deployment, including AWS solution design, security, and observability.
Beyond your technical contributions, you'll play a vital role in supporting the growth of your teammates through code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing. You'll help foster a culture of learning, ownership and continuous improvement, ensuring that your team grows stronger together with every project you take on.
