Senior Software Engineer, Backend

MOTER Technologies, Inc. (“MOTER”) is unlocking the world of connected vehicle data to power innovative products and services for the automotive, mobility, and insurance industries. Our edge‑computing‑based advanced data analytics and software platform transforms vehicle data into actionable insights that drive the next generation of driver scoring, risk analytics, and insurance solutions.

MOTER is modernizing the insurance industry by equipping insurers with real‑time vehicle insights to enhance underwriting, streamline claims, and improve risk assessment. To drive this transformation, MOTER is building white‑labeled insurance products for some of the most recognized brands in the automotive industry. These offerings leverage the full suite of MOTER’s connected vehicle data solutions—including next‑generation telematics and claims visualization tools—bridging the gap between automakers and insurers, accelerating innovation, and delivering measurable value across the mobility ecosystem.

The Senior Software Engineer contributes to the design, development, and delivery of MOTER’s API platform and cloud infrastructure. This is a hands‑on technical role for a serverless‑first, cloud‑native Java engineer with strong AWS expertise who thrives on end‑to‑end ownership—from API design through production operations.

This role is AI‑native: we expect code generation, refactoring, test scaffolding, and a meaningful share of implementation work to be performed through AI coding agents. The engineer is responsible for decomposing work for agents, reviewing and hardening outputs, validating correctness, and owning the reliability, security, and maintainability of what ships.

The ideal candidate is fluent in AI‑native engineering—comfortable directing coding agents, owning what they produce, and delivering high‑quality software. They will work closely with lead engineers, product, and data science teams, contributing to the technical direction and reliability of MOTER’s core API services, and will report to the Director of Engineering.

• Design and develop scalable RESTful and event‑driven APIs in Java on a serverless‑first, cloud‑native AWS foundation, contributing to high availability and performance across MOTER’s platform.
• Participate in end‑to‑end ownership of the software development lifecycle—from requirements and design through coding, testing, deployment, and post‑production support.
• Implement serverless‑first, cloud‑native solutions on AWS—including Lambda, Step Functions, Dynamo
  
  DB, App Sync, API Gateway, S3, SQS/SNS, and Event Bridge—using Terraform for infrastructure as code and following established best practices in security, cost optimization, and resilience.
• Apply serverless architecture patterns—including event‑driven design, async messaging, idempotency, fan‑out/fan‑in, and saga orchestration with Step Functions—to build resilient, loosely coupled, and maintainable cloud‑native services.
• Embrace an AI‑native engineering culture: leverage AI coding agents for code generation, refactoring, test scaffolding, and implementation acceleration. Decompose work for agents, critically review and harden outputs, and validate correctness to ensure everything shipped meets MOTER’s standards.
• Collaborate actively with lead engineers and peers through code reviews and pair programming.
• Work within agile pods and feature teams—participating in sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand‑ups, and retrospectives—to deliver features iteratively and on schedule.
• Follow established engineering quality standards in code structure, testing, and system design.
• Adhere to API design standards, versioning practices, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation guidelines.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and Terraform‑managed infrastructure; support observability across services using tools such as Datadog, New Relic, or AWS Cloud Watch—including distributed tracing, structured logging, and custom metrics.
• Adopt AI coding tooling and developer productivity platforms; stay current with AI‑assisted engineering practices.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

• 7+ years of professional software…
