ERGO NEXT's mission is to help entrepreneurs thrive. 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.
Simply put, wherever you find small businesses, you’ll find ERGO NEXT.
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.
What You’ll Do:
- 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.
- You will have the opportunity to collaborate with multiple teams and products across the organization in order to solve complex problems and develop features end-to-end.
- You will have the opportunity to join an organization that is adopting AI tooling and an AI mindset at high speed, incorporating these cutting-edge capabilities into our daily workflows.
What We Need:
- 1~2 years of proven experience in Backend development. Java/Kotlin or similar languages (Python, .NET).
- Experience in a SaaS company, with a track record of taking end-to-end ownership of projects.
- 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.
- Good interpersonal and communication skills
