At Nationwide®, "on your side" goes beyond just words. Our customers are at the center of everything we do and we're looking for associates who are passionate about delivering extraordinary care.

Nationwide Financials' Institutional Life Insurance (ILI) technology team is seeking a Software Engineer to support this business line. ILI manufactures, sells, and services employer-owned life insurance products for institutional and business clients, including Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (COLI), Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI), and Insurance Company-Owned Life Insurance (ICOLI).

Ideal Skill Set

• Java:
  Experience developing with Spring Boot and designing, building, and maintaining REST APIs.
• .NET: API development experience, including familiarity with LINQ for data querying.
• Angular:
  Frontend development experience, with the ability to work within and extend existing Angular applications.
• SQL:
  Working knowledge of relational databases and query writing.

Additional Preferred Skills

• Git Hub Actions:
  Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline automation. Knowledge of Nationwide's internal Actions library is a significant plus for internal candidates, particularly as the team prepares for upcoming chart migration work aligned with golden paths.
• Git Hub Copilot:
  Experience using Copilot to plan and execute package and version migrations—not solely for code generation.
• Apigee: API proxy experience is a plus, especially for internal candidates familiar with Nationwide's proxy enforcement rules. Strong external candidates can be trained in this area.
• Technical documentation literacy:
  Ability to read and interpret technical change logs, migration guides, and framework release notes, including identifying breaking changes in Angular versions that may affect the team.

Additional Qualifications

• Independent ownership:
  Takes responsibility for assigned work, operates effectively with minimal direction, and navigates ambiguity to resolve blockers.
• Self-directed debugging:
  Troubleshoots and resolves issues in their own code without relying on others as a first resort.
• Curiosity-driven learning:
  Learns unfamiliar systems and functionality by tracing code, researching available information, and building understanding from first principles.
• Legacy code literacy:
  Comfortable understanding and extending existing codebases. Much of the team's work involves enhancing established systems rather than building entirely new applications.
• Continuous learning:
  Motivated to stay current with the tools, frameworks, and development practices the team uses today and adopts in the future.

This role will work a hybrid schedule coming into the Columbus, Ohio office 2 days per week on Mondays & Tuesdays.
