    Job description

    Online interview
    Friendly offer

    First Connect (FC) is a software platform for insurance agents to enable them to work efficiently and bring the industry into the 21st century. 

     

    First Connect’s flagship offering is a powerful comparative rater where FC users – the insurance agents – can enter data once and generate multiple insurance quotes to offer their customers. Future work on this tool will dramatically change the market by leveraging integrations with external data sources to make the agent’s experience smoother. We plan to integrate an ever-growing number of insurance companies through APIs to offer their insurance products. 

     

    In this role, you will own this area, making FC’s rater the best in class in terms of user experience, speed, accuracy, and costs. You will rebuild it to design the flows and also own the underlying integrations while incorporating it into our new SaaS offering. Interview our users to understand their needs, then work closely with our engineering, design, and business teams, as well as the carriers themselves, to prioritize, build, and monitor this product suite. 

     

    First Connect is part of SwingDev – a hippo company and Hippo. This position is a unique opportunity to work as a part of a high-growth US-based, publicly traded insurtech company, enabling you to deliver high-visibility innovative products while working with an international team with versatile experience.  


    So if you're a Back-end Developer looking to shake things up and have a good time while you're at it, you’ve come to the right place. 🚀


    What will you do?


    • You'll implement backends and their interactions with various data stores and other APIs (including 3rd party APIs).
    • You'll work in an agile environment focusing on projects that are impactful on our business.
    • You'll support reliable databases and APIs for real-time automated decision-making. 
    • You’ll work in an agile environment focusing on projects that are impactful. 
    • You'll deploy your software using industry-standard tooling like Kubernetes clusters, and Lambda functions. 
    • You'll care deeply about security in everything you do and constantly raise the baseline of how we defend our user's data against external threats and themselves.  
    • You'll implement robust automated test suites to ensure high quality and low failure rate of delivered code. 
    • You'll work in a DevOps style to make sure Defense in Depth principles are followed and containers are as secure as humanly possible.  
    • You’ll have a lot of chances to develop your programming skills as well as learn a lot about how tech business is done in the US (if you want to).  


    Requirements:


    • Have at least 3 years of hands-on experience with Node.js.
    • Possess a good, practical knowledge of at least one relational database system, e.g. PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQL Server.
    • Can engage in discussions and decisions regarding software design and architecture.
    • Have experience implementing the test pyramid (unit, integration, e2e tests).
    • Utilize good security practices effectively.
    • Have a good command of English (written & spoken).
    • Show readiness to learn and expand your skill set as required by ongoing projects.
    • Are available in the afternoons - due to collaboration with the United States, evening meetings may occur. Rest assured, we prioritize work-life fit, respect everyone's private lives, and don’t work at night but we still must ensure that communication between the time zones is effective.



    What you'll be using after joining us (we can teach you if needed):


    • Node.js, TypeScript, Nest.js,
    • Docker and container-based deployment technologies (e.g. Kubernetes/Fargate), 
    • Automated software testing on unit/integration/end-to-end levels.



    You will get extra points for:


    • Hands-on experience with TypeScript.
    • Experience with git, source control system and code reviews.
