Senior Backend Engineer (APIs)

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will contribute to the design and evolution of distributed backend systems that power the end-to-end protection lifecycle from eligibility and quoting to purchase, servicing, claims, cancellations, refunds, reporting, and reconciliation.

This is a backend/platform-focused engineering role centered around APIs, integrations, scalability, operational excellence, and distributed systems.

What You'll Do: 

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs using JVM technologies such as Java or Kotlin, and Spring Boot.
• Develop integration layers with third-party insurance and assurance providers.
• Build systems supporting the full Trip Protection lifecycle, including eligibility, quoting, purchase, servicing, claims, cancellations, and refunds.
• Design clean, maintainable, observable, and testable software using sound software engineering principles and design patterns.
• Create APIs and backend workflows consumed by multiple internal and external partners.
• Contribute to architecture and technical design discussions for moderately complex distributed systems.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, platform, compliance, finance, and partner teams.
• Support production systems through monitoring, debugging, troubleshooting, and operational improvements.
• Participate in code reviews and help guide engineering best practices across the team.
• Contribute to reporting, reconciliation, and operational data flows required to support the business.
• Work closely with stakeholders to deliver scalable platform capabilities across multiple markets and lines of business.

What you'll bring to us:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a Bachelor’s degree, or 3+ years with a Master’s degree.
• Strong backend engineering experience building and operating production systems at scale.
• Strong proficiency in JVM-based technologies, where Java and Kotlin are preferred, and Spring Boot.
• Experience designing and building APIs and integrations between distributed systems.
• Experience working with cloud-native architectures in public or hybrid cloud environments.
• Strong understanding of microservices, asynchronous processing, and service-oriented architectures.
• Experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases and scalable data access patterns.
• Experience with observability, monitoring, logging, alerting, and production troubleshooting.
• Ability to design maintainable, modular, and testable systems with strong operational awareness.
• Understanding of software design principles, data structures, and distributed systems fundamentals.
• Experience working in agile engineering teams and collaborating across organizational boundaries.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in complex production environments.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly across engineering and business stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Experience in travel, fintech, insurance, e-commerce, or other highly regulated domains.
• Experience with event-driven architectures and messaging systems.
• Familiarity with compliance-sensitive systems and operational workflows.
• Exposure to frontend/customer-facing flows is a plus, but this role is primarily backend/platform focused.
