About the role
Join the innovative Executive Risks Experience team, where you'll collaborate closely with front-end engineers while primarily focusing on developing and enhancing the underlying back-end services that are essential to our projects. As a core contributor, you will ensure the effective integration and performance of our microservices within a Golang-based back-end environment.
While you'll be embedded within a team proficient in front-end technologies such as React and TypeScript, your primary focus will be on back-end development tasks. You will play a crucial role in designing systems that manage complex business rules, ensuring they deliver precise and efficient solutions. Your work will include developing robust APIs that seamlessly integrate with front-end applications using GraphQL for back-end-for-frontend interactions.
In addition to your back-end responsibilities, you may occasionally contribute to front-end tasks, making smaller changes as needed to support the overall project goals. This flexibility and adaptability enhance our team's ability to deliver comprehensive solutions efficiently.
We prefer to use the right tool for the job and make pragmatic decisions about how to scale and decouple systems as we continue to grow.

- Develop test cases and work with QE to ensure engineering excellence
- Support front-end tasks as needed, including participating in on-call rotations for front-end applications
- Make Coalition a better place by taking on the unseen, unforeseen and important items that come up along the way
Skills and Qualifications
- 0-2+ years of blended internship and/or professional development experience
- Computer Science or Engineering degree - related technical discipline or equivalent work experience
- API and service development in Go or a similar language.
- Production tested cloud native development principles
- Analyzing software errors with tools like Sentry, DataDog, Jaeger/Zipkin, GreyLog or App Dynamics
- Container based deployment and development with Docker
- Experience using multiple transports and formats (e.g. REST, gRPC, GraphQL)
- Willingness to assist with front-end tasks as needed and enthusiasm to learn about front-end technologies
- Use of source control - git, svn or perforce
- Working with an agile team using collaborative development tools - Atlassian Suite, GitHub or GitLab
- Ability to collaborate with your team in a fast-paced environment
Bonus Points
- Familiarity or experience with front-end technologies, such as React, TypeScript, and related tools
- Production experience serving large user bases (10,000+)
- Development in distributed, event-driven and message-driven architectures using tools such as Kafka, SNS, and SQS
Perks
- 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage
