About the role

They integrate security, insurance, and proprietary data to apply business rules, statistical models, and machine learning in assessing and monitoring risk.
This role is highly cross-functional, partnering closely with underwriters, data science, and other engineering teams to scale and automate Coalition's underwriting and core decisioning workflows.

Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services in Python and/or Go that power underwriting decisioning and automation.
Create and maintain alerts, monitors, and dashboards to ensure operational stability, observability, and clear incident response paths.
Lead small projects end-to-end and act as a technical driver within a team of engineers on medium-to-large initiatives, collaborating with product, underwriting, and data partners.
Contribute to architecture and design discussions that balance pragmatism, scalability, and decoupling as the underwriting platform grows.
Strong experience building and operating backend APIs and services in Python and/or Go, including familiarity with common frameworks and patterns.
