Full Stack Engineer

Our client is redefining the life insurance and annuity experience through modern technology, innovative products and a customer-first approach. Backed by significant funding and led by an experienced leadership team, the company is building a next-generation platform designed to transform how consumers access and manage financial protection products.

As the organization prepares for a major platform launch, it is expanding its technology team and seeking a Full-Stack Software Engineer to help launch, support and continuously improve its customer-facing platform.

This is an opportunity to join an early-stage, well-funded company where you will have meaningful influence on software design, engineering practices, product delivery and the long-term direction of the technology platform.

Preferred locations include:

• Denver, Colorado

Remote candidates located within these markets will be considered. Occasional onsite collaboration in Charlotte is strongly preferred.

The Full-Stack Software Engineer will design, build, deploy and support customer-facing software across the application stack. This person will work closely with engineering, product and business stakeholders to deliver new functionality, troubleshoot production issues and improve the reliability and performance of the platform.

The strongest candidates will have experience shipping production software that is actively used by customers. They should be comfortable working across frontend and backend technologies, modifying live applications, investigating bugs and implementing fixes in a fast-moving environment.

This is primarily a software engineering role. However, the engineer should understand and apply modern Dev Ops practices, including automated testing, CI/CD, cloud deployment, monitoring and production support. The right person will take ownership of their work from initial development through deployment and ongoing operation.

The ideal candidate enjoys working in startup environments, has experience with cloud-based applications and is interested in using AI-powered development tools to improve software quality, productivity and delivery speed.

This role reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer.

This is a contract-to-hire opportunity and is not available on a corp-to-corp basis. Candidates must be currently authorized to work in the United States and must not require employer sponsorship now or in the future.
