It involves maintaining rigorous engineering standards through comprehensive code reviews.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our team and make a real impact! Ready to take on new challenges? As part of our team, you’ll be contributing to cutting-edge projects that are shaping the future of our company and the industry.

At simplesurance, we don’t just embrace change – we drive it. With a strong commitment to innovation, resilience, and growth, we continuously challenge the status quo while having fun along the way, true to our motto: "Never Stop Playing".

As a Software Engineer at simplesurance, you’ll experience firsthand how technology and innovation work to fuel our growth.

We invite you to check out some of the tools and projects that drive our work:

• Tech Share:
  See the tools we use to power our business.
• Git Hub Repository:
  Explore our open-source projects.
• Integration Overview:
  Get a look at how our integrations work.

• Write high-performance, concurrent Go code that powers our product's growth. Focus on efficiency and correctness, ensuring our business logic handles edge cases gracefully.
• Participate in providing practical feedback on data models and service boundaries to help us refine our gRPC ecosystem. While you won't be solely responsible for the architecture, your voice matters.
• Turn functional requirements into strictly typed gRPC and REST APIs. Help define API contracts that ensure consistency and backward compatibility across our services.
• Act as a steward of code quality. Through rigorous code reviews and constructive feedback, you will ensure the codebase remains idiomatic, testable, and secure.
• Implement application-layer resilience patterns to ensure uptime, independent of the underlying infrastructure.

• Proven experience working in a microservices environment. You understand the complexities of distributed state, eventual consistency, and network fallacies.
• Deep production experience with Go. You understand how the runtime works; garbage collection, channel patterns, and context management are second nature to you.
• You thrive in an environment where architecture is a team sport. You are happy to implement established patterns but aren't afraid to speak up if you see a potential bottleneck.
• View testing (e.g., unit tests, integration tests) as part of the development process, not a chore. You take pride in shipping code that is easy to read and hard to break.
• Fluent Business English and can explain technical trade-offs clearly to peers and product stakeholders.
• Bonus Point:
  Experience implementing authentication workflows (e.g., OAuth2, OIDC,..) or working with Identity Providers (IDPs).

Even if you don’t check all the boxes, we are happy to receive your CV.
