Pathpoint is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Engineering Team and focus on building our infrastructure.
Senior Software Engineers are the technical leaders of their teams, responsible for building the highly leveraged software systems that are multipliers of the team’s efficiency and working closely with other team leaders to advise on planning and set technical direction.
Our teams are small to enable focus and often employ Agile Development practices to solve problems in a complex real-world domain where the requirements may not yet be fully defined. Hence, the solutions need to be resilient to change while being stable and performant.
About Pathpoint
Pathpoint is building the next generation of technology for the $160B Excess and Surplus Lines insurance market. We're working with the premier carriers and brokerages to build a new trading exchange that turns painful and time-consuming back and forth into a seamless digital experience. We have transitioned to a fully remote model, empowering our team members to work independently from wherever they feel most safe and productive, without a central office. We seek candidates who see this world as an opportunity to craft new best practices and build a remote-first culture that doesn't just survive but thrives. (Learn more)

- Performing code reviews to lift the entire team’s code quality.
- Participating in hiring by running onsite sessions under the guidance of more senior engineers.

- Experience with our tooling set is a plus: Docker, Datadog, GitHub Actions, Auth0
- User empathy, an interest in learning about the insurance industry, and pragmatic critical thinking skills.
- An ability to map Pathpoint’s long-term roadmap into smaller projects that make progress under potentially high uncertainty.
- Solid experience building distributed web services.
- Experience building distributed systems or service layers.
- Golang, SQL (Postgres), and Node experience are a big plus.
