This role combines architecture ownership with practical engineering involvement, helping teams make sound decisions and deliver modern SaaS products for the insurance market.

Qualifications Significant software engineering experience, including recent responsibility for architecture or technical leadership within AWS-based product environments.

Demonstrated success designing and delivering cloud-native SaaS platforms, multi-tenant applications, or other complex enterprise software products.

Strong hands-on knowledge of .NET, C#, ASP.NET Core, and modern front-end development using Type Script with Angular or React.

Deep understanding of distributed systems, microservices, domain-driven design, event-driven architecture, serverless computing, and API design.

Practical experience with AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, EKS, S3, Aurora, RDS, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, Event Bridge, and Cloud Watch.

Experience designing for relational and No
