Description

What will our Sr Backend Engineer do?

We are looking for an experienced Backend Engineer to join our team! We're using modern tech to make it easy for people and businesses to get the insurance coverage they need. You'll help build and test APIs, rating engines, policy management systems, and more. The insurance industry is known for slow, clunky tools that weren't built with the user in mind. We're making them fast and reliable, and we'd love for you to join us.

As a Sr. Backend engineer you will build and write tests for our APIs, rating engines, and other C# code, as well as aid our leads in architectural designs. As you hit the ground running you will be able to develop and document new C# .NET Core APIs and rating engines, as well as refine and improve our existing products. In addition, you also work very closely with our product management team in helping create a development strategy that fits our product roadmaps, as well as be a part of our engineering team interviews.

How We Work:

• BackEnd: C#, .Net Core, .Net 5+
• Database: SQL Server, Cosmos DB
• Infrastructure: Azure
• Remote Tools: Microsoft Teams
• Scrum environment with cross-disciplinary teams (frontend and backend engineers, UI/UX, Product Managers, SDETs)

What to expect!

Our hiring process generally consists of 3 phases.

• Phase 1: Qualified candidates will first meet with HR for a phone interview. This discussion is a high-level conversation to understand more about your background and interests and for us to share more about Coterie and the position.
• Phase 2: Selected candidates will then be invited to submit a coding project. Once completed, our hiring manager will review and based on how you do, confirm a 45-60 minute technical screen.
• Phase 3: Top candidates will receive an invite for our final interview series via Teams video. This series will include a whiteboarding panel interview with our tech team and a 1:1 culture focused interview. The final series is about 1.5 hours in total.
