Summary
Builds and owns backend features end-to-end using server-side Kotlin, SQL, and cloud tools, shipping via CI/CD several times daily while collaborating with product, marketing, and front-end teams on a SaaS insurance product.
- Our 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
- You 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
- You 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
- Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that some underrepresented people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification in the job description. At ERGO NEXT, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles
