Software Engineer

Summary

Join Coalition's CoalitionRe Team as a frontend engineer and become the primary authority for frontend development. Contribute to well-tested, maintainable, and extensible code while extending and improving the existing CoalitionRe service. Collaborate with the Product Team to clarify requirements and provide feedback. Participate in on-call rotation, though infrequent. This role offers the opportunity to transition to a full-stack engineer over time. The ideal candidate will possess strong frontend skills, excellent communication, and a collaborative mindset. Coalition offers competitive compensation and benefits.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science or a related field with at least three years of work experience, or equivalent work experience
• Experience with HTML, CSS, and modern frontend frameworks (React or preferably htmx.)
• Experience working closely with UI/UX designers and product management
• Effective written and verbal communication skills with the ability to effectively convey engineering-related topics to team members – a lot of it asynchronously
• A collaborative and team-oriented mindset, capable of working effectively in a diverse and fast-paced environment
• Effective problem-solving skills to analyze and debug code
• Curiosity to learn and openness to feedback
• Autonomous and disciplined approach to work

Responsibilities

• Contribute to code: tested, maintainable, extensible, but pragmatic
• Extend and improve the existing CoalitionRe service
• Become the primary authority for frontend related development for the CoalitionRe service
• Interface with Product Team (e.g. to clarify requirements, provide feedback on required effort, alternative solutions, process improvements)
• On-Call rotation participation (this means a regular expectation to respond to incidents outside of regular working hours – it happens rarely and we’d like to keep it that way.)

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of backend and database technologies, particularly Python and Postgres
• Any general knowledge of the insurance industry (particularly re-insurance.)

Benefits

• 100% medical, dental and vision coverage
• Flexible PTO policy
• Annual home office stipend and WeWork access
• Mental & physical health wellness programs (One Medical, Headspace, Wellhub, and more)!
• Competitive compensation and opportunity for advancement
