Job DescriptionAbout Us and Position Overview Kettle is a fast growing Managing General Agency (MGA) specializing in wildfire insurance combining advanced underwriting technology with deep industry experience. We’re looking for a Senior Full-stack Software Engineer with strong DevOps experience and front-end abilities to join our engineering team. In this role, you will architect, build, and maintain core systems across our AWS-based stack, contribute to front-end product development, and help scale Kettle’s engineering infrastructure as we grow.
