Active in over 60 countries and all 50 US States, we protect the customers of the world’s largest digital companies, including Klarna, Revolut, Stripe, Priceline, Agoda, Booking.com, Turkish Airlines, Tongcheng Travel, eBay, and Uber, with seamless, end-to-end experiences. Cover Genius has protected more than 73M customers globally across 240M policies with USD $3.2BN in gross written sales.\nComing off a stellar year with 40% YoY revenue growth and a recent $100M capital raise, putting our valuation at $1.9BN, we are accelerating into our next phase of growth. As part of our team, you’ll help drive our AI-first roadmap, developing hyper-personalization engines, agentic distribution, and automated claims infrastructure, while building the scalable technology powering the fast-growing $70B embedded protection market.\nOur people are: Accountable, customer-obsessed, collaborative, driven\nOur people are not: Passive, defensive, siloed, hesitant\nAbout the role:\nAs a Senior Software Engineer on our Global Insurance Platform team, you'll build and evolve CG Admin, the internal platform that powers how Cover Genius configures and operates insurance products at scale for its global partners like Booking.com, Skyscanner, and Ryanair. This is where product setup, pricing, underwriting rules, and policy lifecycle come together, and where the correctness and reliability of what we ship directly affects live policies and real money.\nWe're building AI-first. You'll use agentic tools like Claude Code and Gemini as core parts of your workflow, not as novelties, but as multipliers that let a small team ship like a big one. You'll shape how we integrate AI into development practices, from code generation to testing to documentation, and help define what \"agentic software engineering\" looks like at Cover Genius.\nYou'll join an established team as a senior individual contributor. You'll take ownership of complex, high-impact areas of the platform, raise the technical bar (including how we apply AI), and mentor engineers, with high ownership and real impact from day one.\nKey Responsibilities:\nDesign and build features across CG Admin, from configuration workflows to the services behind them, that make complex insurance setup safe, fast, and repeatable.\n\nUse AI tools (Claude Code, Gemini) as core workflow accelerators; develop prompt strategies and agentic workflows that multiply your output.\n\nOwn complex areas of the platform end-to-end, balancing speed of delivery with the durability a mission-critical internal system demands.\n\nDrive technical quality through code reviews, design discussions, and by setting standards that raise the bar for AI-augmented development.\n\nPartner with product and with the operations, configuration, and platform teams who use CG Admin daily, translating their needs into well-designed tooling.\n\nMentor engineers in AI-first development practices; help the team adopt tools and workflows that make everyone more effective.\n\nOwn reliability, correctness, and observability for the areas you lead; catch data-integrity and configuration errors before they reach live policies.\n\nSkills and Experience:\n6+ years of experience in software development, with a track record of shipping production systems.\n\nFluent with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, or similar). You've integrated them into real workflows, not just experimented.\n\nWorking understanding of LLMs beyond code generation.\n\nDeep experience with Node.js and TypeScript; hands-on experience with NestJS or similar frameworks. Front-end experience (React) is valuable given CG Admin is a full-stack web application.\n\nPolyglot mindset, comfortable picking up new languages; experience or exposure to Python or PHP is a plus.\n\nExperience building complex, domain-rich applications (internal platforms, admin/back-office tooling, or configuration systems) where correctness matters.\n\nStrong understanding of API design, microservices architectures, cloud infrastructure (AWS), and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).\n\nSolid grasp of relational databases, data modeling, and event-driven patterns.\n\nComfort with ambiguity; you've built systems where requirements were discovered along the way.\n\nStrong communication skills; able to document decisions, write clear specs, and influence without authority.\n\nProficiencies and Attributes:\nOwnership & Delivery:\nTakes ambiguous problems and drives them to shipped outcomes-not just code, but results.\n\nBalances speed with quality; knows when to iterate fast and when to invest in durability.\n\nManages risk proactively-identifies failure modes and mitigates before they bite.\n\nCommunication & Influence:\nCreates clarity from ambiguity; documents decisions so others can build on your work.\n\nInfluences through evidence and collaboration, not authority; brings people along.\n\nCommunicates technical concepts clearly to engineers, product, and business stakeholders.\n\nAI-First Mindset:\nTreats AI tools as essential infrastructure, not optional add-ons; continuously experiments with new capabilities.\n\nUnderstands LLM strengths and limitations-knows when to prompt and when to fine-tune.\n\nThinks in terms of leverage-automates the repetitive, focuses human attention on judgment calls.\n\nHelps others adopt AI workflows; shares what works and raises the floor for the whole team.\n\nWhy Cover Genius?\nAt Cover Genius, we create magic by turning the archaic into the extraordinary.
