Company mission
To build a simplified digital insurance experience that better serves small businesses.
Role
Who you are
- At least 6+ years of proven experience in Backend development. Java/Kotlin or similar languages (Python, .NET)
- A B.Sc. in Computer Science or equivalent is a must
- Excellent knowledge and understanding of OOP concepts and best practices
- Hands-on development of highly distributed, cloud-based environments - an advantage. We work with AWS, but any cloud experience is a plus
- Experience working with Relational Databases and good SQL skills
- Adaptable, with a passion for quickly learning new technologies and working effectively in a dynamic environment
- Ability to navigate and work effectively across diverse domains and contexts
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- 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
- 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
What the job involves
- Since 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
- 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. Additionally, our Backend Software Engineer will be supporting and owning our Agents Channel domain
- 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
- Leverage AI and LLM-powered tools to improve developer productivity and experimentation
Our take
ERGO Next Insurance, formerly Next Insurance, serves small businesses by making it much simpler to take out an insurance policy without the headache associated with many providers. To begin trading, any business needs to have some sort of insurance policy in place; traditional offerings can take weeks, often requiring tedious paperwork.
ERGO Next Insurance has opted to use AI, machine learning and transparent language to make the process much simpler, and it can take just five to ten minutes for customers to obtain a package that suits them.
While ERGO Next Insurance is facing established insurance companies such as Hiscox and State Farm, it's partnered with Amazon Business Prime to insure its members in a move to target traditionally underserved insurance customers. More recently, it partnered with LegalZoom, to simplify the insurance process. With nearly half a million customers, the company is well-set to remain a major player in the space.
