What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer position at Attune?
At Attune, we're changing small business insurance in a big way. Small business owners need insurance
to protect their businesses, but when it comes time to get a policy, they're bogged down by hundreds of
questions, lots of paperwork, and a seemingly never-ending timeline stretching for weeks or months.
We are changing all that. By using data and technology expertise to understand risk, automating legacy
processes, and creating a better user experience for brokers, we're able to provide policies that are
more applicable and more transparent in just minutes.
Simply put, we're pushing insurance into the future, focusing on accuracy, speed, and ease.
Our mission and our team are growing. In staying true to our values, we've earned our spot on many
workplace award lists. Attune is dedicated to creating a diverse team of curious, focused, and motivated
people who are excited about changing the future of an entire industry.
Position Overview:
As a Software Engineer III at Attune, you will be a technical leader responsible for the architecture,
design, and execution of the systems that power our platform. You will tackle high-impact projects,
contribute production-quality code, and shape the long-term engineering solutions of the company. This
role demands expert technical skills, a commitment to quality, and a collaborative mindset. Beyond
individual contribution, you will drive engineering excellence by mentoring other engineers and
continuously improving our practices, tools, and documentation.
Key Responsibilities:
Architectural Leadership: Lead the design and implementation of complex technology projects and
strategic initiatives.
System Development: Develop, test, and deploy high-quality, production-ready code for large-scale
software components.
Code Quality & Governance: Set the standard for code quality by performing rigorous peer reviews
and establishing best practices across the engineering organization.
Complex Problem Solving: Solve sophisticated software problems involving high risk or complexity
with minimal need for refinement.
Impactful Delivery: Drive significant improvements in software quality, system performance, and
the end-customer experience.
Operational Excellence: Lead initiatives to improve testability, internal documentation, and
operational excellence metrics.
Cross-Functional Strategy: Communicate effectively with senior stakeholders and cross-functional
partners, such as SRE and Product, to align technical execution with business goals.
Technical Stewardship: Proactively manage technical debt and improve runbooks and internal
tooling to enhance team velocity.
Mentorship: Actively mentor engineers and interns, serving as a technical guide to elevate the
team's overall capability.
Qualifications:
Experience: 5 years of professional software engineering experience (building upon core
competencies developed over 2–4 years).
Technical Mastery: Proficiency in JavaScript/Typescript in both browser and server environments,
and ideally one or more further modern programming languages, such as Python, Java, or Go.
Proven Track Record: Demonstrated experience delivering production-quality code and contributing
to highly scalable systems or components.
Computer Science Foundations: Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and advanced
software design principles.
Tooling & CI/CD: Expert knowledge of development tools, version control (e.g., Git), CI/CD pipelines,
and comprehensive testing frameworks.
Infrastructure: Deep familiarity with cloud infrastructure (ideally AWS) and containerization (e.g.,
Docker, Kubernetes). Familiarity with IaC tools (i.e. Terraform) is encouraged but not required.
Collaboration: Proven ability to work in a cross-functional environment, collaborating closely with
Product, SRE, and other engineering leads.
Reliability: Exceptional ability to debug complex issues and contribute to the long-term reliability
and maintainability of systems.
Leadership Qualities: A strong desire to provide thoughtful feedback during code reviews and an
eagerness to grow technical leadership over time.
What We Offer:
This role offers the option to be hybrid (Dallas, Denver, New York City, Omaha) or fully remote. Remote team members must reside and work within the United States and maintain access to reliable, high-speed internet.
