• Develop integrations with enterprise systems, third-party platforms, data services, pricing/underwriting capabilities, and AI/agent services.
• Leverage AI coding agents and engineering copilots to accelerate development while maintaining strong review, testing, and production quality practices.
• Create automated unit, integration, contract, regression, and performance tests as part of the delivery lifecycle.
• Contribute to API standards, reusable patterns, golden paths, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and service reliability practices.
• Own production readiness, monitoring, incident response, defect remediation, and continuous improvement for delivered services.
• Collaborate with Analysts and Product Owners to ensure requirements, contracts, and acceptance criteria are clear and technically executable.

Preferred Experience / Capabilities

• Backend development experience with Node.js
• Experience with TypeScript
• API-first design, microservices, service orchestration, event-driven architecture, and distributed systems patterns.
