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.
