With 40+ years of experience in the Insurtech game, we're not just redefining what's achievable; we're creating a place where amazing career moments are made possible.
Position Overview
We're searching for a Senior Software Engineer (JavaScript) to join our Applied Payments team in a hybrid role.

• Develop and maintain robust payment systems and applications.
• Design and optimize systems for performance, reliability, and maintainability.
