📋 Description

• Enable end-to-end customer-facing Digital Experience platform, including authentication, the API gateway, the unified data layer, fraud and identity, and the application layer on top. • Shape an outcome-based delivery model for the Digital Experience Center of Excellence: tie engineering investment to measurable customer and business outcomes, validate impact after launch, and prioritize platform work by the outcomes it unlocks. • Set technical direction, patterns, and engineering standards for the Digital Experience Center of Excellence, including coordination with the Senior Software Engineer leading our internal Experience Center build. • Lead the hardest design work, and personally own the most critical and complex systems. • Stay hands-on as an individual contributor: write, review, and ship production code; pair with engineers across both pillars; lead incident response on the most consequential systems. • Partner with our Enterprise Solution Architects on enterprise-level architecture decisions (auth and identity, API and integration strategy, data architecture, fraud, vendor selection) and represent Digital Experience engineering in those conversations. • Architect integrations with our core policy administration systems, our fraud and identity providers, our internal generative AI platform, and our identity providers. • Drive adoption of AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) at the team and Center of Excellence level, including the patterns, guardrails, and reviews that make AI-assisted development safe and productive in regulated software. • Mentor Software Engineers across both the Digital Experience and the Experience Center pillars, and act as the technical career model for our IC track. • Establish performance, reliability, security, and accessibility targets for the platform, and own the engineering practice that keeps us within them. • Identify, prioritize, and act on technical debt, platform reuse, and developer productivity work that compound team velocity over time. • Communicate technical decisions, tradeoffs, and risk clearly to engineering leadership, product partners, and senior business and technology stakeholders.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including substantial time as a Staff or Principal individual contributor on a customer-facing product or platform. • Demonstrated experience owning the architecture of a non-trivial customer-facing system end to end on AWS, including serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, CloudFront, S3, DynamoDB or RDS) and modern CI/CD. • Strong, current working experience with Snowflake or a comparable cloud data warehouse, including data modeling, performance tuning, and integration with application services. • Daily, fluent use of AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent), and a track record of helping a team adopt them safely and productively. • Substantial experience building and operating customer-facing digital products in a regulated industry (financial services, insurance, healthcare, or similar). • A track record of setting standards and architecture for a multi-engineer team and of mentoring Software Engineers into the next level of their career. • Comfort operating cross-functionally with enterprise architecture, security, compliance, product, and design partners. • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and annual incentive bonuses to reward your contributions. • 33 days of paid time off (including PTO, holidays, Volunteer Day, and days of significance). • Paid parental leave after 90 days of service. • Comprehensive medical, dental & vision insurance. • 401(k) with company match, plus Profit Sharing & Savings Plan. • Short- and Long-Term Disability Insurance to give you peace of mind. • Flexible Spending Accounts for medical and dependent care. • Life Insurance to protect your loved ones. • Educational assistance to support your career development. • Associate assistance programs for your personal and professional well-being.
