Responsibilities

• Develop Core Backend Services: Design, implement, and maintain robust backend microservices and APIs that power our One-Click Title & Escrow, Insurance, Mortgage, and Home Warranty workflows.
• Contribute Across the Stack: While primarily backend-focused, actively contribute to the frontend development of intuitive user interfaces using modern frameworks like React.
• Deliver Features End-to-End: Work independently to deliver small to mid-sized components and collaborate with senior engineers on more complex technical designs, ensuring code is secure, stable, and testable.
• Enhance Operational Excellence: Improve operational metrics, system monitoring, and participate in team on-call rotations to ensure reliability and stability.
• Drive Quality and Testing: Write high-quality, maintainable code with minimal defects. Create comprehensive tests to prevent regressions and minimize technical debt.
• Act as a Component SME: Become a subject matter expert on specific internal components or tools, serving as a go-to resource for peers and mentoring incoming software engineering interns.

• Strong backend engineering skills with proficiency in languages such as Go, Node.js, Python, or Java.
• Practical experience with modern frontend technologies, ideally TypeScript and React, and a willingness to tackle full-stack challenges.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and implementation trade-offs.
• Experience building and consuming APIs (gRPC or REST) and working within microservice architectures.
• Familiarity with AWS/cloud technologies, event-driven systems (e.g., Kafka), and modern CI/CD tooling is a strong plus.
• Dedication to software testing best practices (e.g., Jest, Cypress, or equivalent backend testing frameworks).
• Collaborative mindset with a track record of independent execution on straightforward technical problems and eagerness to seek guidance when facing ambiguity.
• Practical experience or strong interest in using AI-assisted development tools (like ClaudeCode or GitHub Copilot) in real delivery environments.
• BS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
