Our Innovative Solutions Include

The Opportunity
As an engineer at CoverForce, you will work on designing and implementing the core infrastructure of the API platform. You will work on Carrier Integrations, partner integrations, developing the CoverForce engine, and other core features of the product. As we build out our Public API, you will be involved in discussions about the structure, models, synchronicity, and other key decisions of a complex Public facing API.
This role is a perfect fit for an engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments looking to build a product from the ground up. You will have the opportunity to take ownership and wear many hats as you develop the product. As an early engineer, you'll impact product development, system architecture, engineering culture, and more. You will work across the stack building out our centralized API and the front-end portal.
We use ReactJS, NodeJS, MongoDB, Docker, and Javascript/Typescript on AWS.
Our product was inspired by talking with 100s of agents and identifying the critical pain points in the quote, bind, and payment process. We see our solution scaling to independent agencies, agency management systems, and corporate customers.
Tasks Will Include
- Integrating with Insurance carriers:
- Researching the API of an insurance carrier.
- Designing a solution to integrate with the carrier
- Designing the strategy to develop a unified commercial insurance API to work with multiple carriers.
- Proactively identify opportunities to improve the quality, stability, and scalability of our systems.
- Conduct code reviews and provide helpful feedback that maintains our high code quality behind our systems
- Collaborate cross-functionally to solve business problems and continue to support our rapid growth
