Required Qualifications: • 8+ years of hands-on software engineering/architecture experience., • Strong communication skills and the ability to work hands-on with engineering teams., • Strong experience with event-driven architectures, microservices, and distributed systems., • Hands-on expertise with cloud platforms, • Proficiency with modern development languages (.NET Core, Node.js, Python)., • Understanding of insurance or financial systems—preferably specialty, program, or commercial lines., • Experience integrating or architecting solutions around InsureMO (or similar middle-office platforms)., • Experience building workflows or applications using Unqork or comparable no/low-code frameworks., • Familiarity with event sourcing, CQRS, DDD, and real-time event streaming., • Understanding of specialty program operational flows—submissions, endorsements, premium reporting, bordereaux, TPA integration, etc. The anticipated salary for this position is $160,000 - $190,000 per year, based on qualifications and experience.
