Sr Software Engineer - REMOTE CST/EST

Overview

This role supports an innovative SaaS organization delivering AI-powered underwriting, data intelligence, and intelligent document processing solutions to commercial Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance carriers, MGAs, brokers, and reinsurers. The platform enables insurers to streamline submission-to-quote workflows, improve decision accuracy, reduce manual processes, and enhance customer experience through advanced AI-driven decisioning.

The organization is focused on modernizing commercial insurance operations by replacing outdated processes and fragmented systems with a purpose-built, AI-enabled underwriting management platform. The solution empowers insurers to make faster, smarter decisions while driving operational efficiency and premium growth.

The ideal candidate demonstrates strong technical judgment, balances speed with scalability, and brings a refined sense of software craftsmanship — understanding when to build for scale and when to prioritize simplicity. You will own entire workstreams, influence architecture, and contribute to a high-performing engineering culture.
