We’re doing that by building the only technology-led, full-stack provider of small business insurance in the industry, taking on the entire value chain and transforming the customer experience. \nSimply put, wherever you find small businesses, you’ll find ERGO NEXT.\nSince 2016, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of small business customers across the United States get fast, customized and affordable coverage. We’re backed by industry leaders in insurance and tech, and we still have room to grow - that’s where you come in.\nOur Backend Software Engineer can expect to work with the latest backend technologies and programming languages. We’re big fans of server-side Kotlin, and we produce clean, testable code fast and push it into production several times a day via our CI / CD pipeline.\nWhat You’ll Do: \nYou will work closely with other functional areas in the company-product, Marketing, and Front-end engineers-to rapidly iterate on our product and find the best solutions to our challenges.\nYou will take ownership of features - from inception through design and coding, eventually bringing your feature to production at a high level of quality and test coverage.\nYou'll have the opportunity to grow into a mentoring role - supporting and guiding team members, collaborating closely with the team lead, and contributing to a sense of shared ownership across the domain.\n\nWhat We Need: \nAt least 5 years of proven experience in Backend development. Java/Kotlin or similar languages (Python, .NET).\nExperience in a senior role, with a track record of taking end-to-end ownership of projects and mentoring junior or mid-level engineers.\nA B.Sc. in Computer Science or equivalent is a must.\nExcellent knowledge and understanding of OOP concepts and best practices\nHands-on development of highly distributed, cloud-based environments - an advantage. We work with AWS, but any cloud experience is a plus.\nExperience working with Relational Databases and good SQL skills.\nAdaptable, with a passion for quickly learning new technologies and working effectively in a dynamic environment\nGood interpersonal and communication skills\n\nNote on Fraudulent Recruiting\nWe have become aware that there may be fraudulent recruiting attempts being made by people posing as representatives of ERGO NEXT Insurance. These scams may involve fake job postings, unsolicited emails, or messages claiming to be from our recruiters or hiring managers. \nPlease note, we do not ask for sensitive information via chat, text, or social media, and any email communications will come from the domain @next-insurance.com or @ nextinsurance.com.
