- Experience with continuous integration and delivery, source control, automated quality checks, environment configuration, and database querying.
- Preferred experience includes property and casualty insurance, event-driven architectures, complex third-party integrations, performance and resilience testing, service-level security testing, and improving automation reliability, execution time, or defect detection.
Benefits
- Remote-first work from anywhere in the U.S., excluding U.S. territories, with optional local-office access in the San Francisco Bay Area or Providence, Rhode Island.
