Next Insurance's standard text

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:

  • Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable code, ensuring high performance and responsiveness of the system.
  • Participate in architectural discussions and code reviews, actively contributing to elevating our engineering standards and best practices.
  • Identify bottlenecks, optimize database queries, and continuously improve system performance and scalability.
  • Embrace a 'you build it, you run it' approach, ensuring our production environments remain highly stable and observable.

What We Need:

  • At least 3 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
  • Good interpersonal and communication skills
  • Experience leading large-scale features from end-to-end is a significant plus
