About The Position

Insurity’s Next Lead Developer will be a hands-on technical leader for the Insurity Marine Suite (IMS), a flagship product leading modernization across the company, owning complex work end-to-end—from estimation and solution design through implementation, testing, and production support—while raising quality via standards, peer review, and technical oversight. This person thrives in the details, can independently design and prototype solutions that reduce codebase complexity and manual validation, and can modernize a mixed stack (existing .NET services plus newer React portals and emerging technologies) without sacrificing reliability. IMS is at an inflection point as we operationalize agentic development workflows and internal automation to accelerate delivery, so the ideal fit is a pragmatic builder who can architect the “how,” dive into the code to execute, and lead effectively across a distributed India + North America team while aligning with US working hours.

Requirements

Experience: 8+ years building and shipping production services/features end-to-end (design → delivery → support).
Hands-on leadership: Leads through the codebase—estimation, solution design, implementation, reviews, and troubleshooting for complex work.
Core stack: Strong C#/.NET (ASP.NET Core, Web API) + SQL Server; solid Git/PR workflow discipline.
Quality-through-code: Regularly ships with unit/integration/contract tests; expects the same from others; comfortable defining/enforcing quality gates.
Delivery automation: Has personally automated multiple parts of a real codebase (CI/CD, tests, code quality, deploy scripts, DB migrations, scaffolding/code-gen).
Collaboration: Clear communicator who partners well with Product/QA/Ops and can drive technical decisions to closure.
Operating model: Can work effectively across a distributed India + North America team while aligning with US working hours.

Nice To Haves

Modernization: Experience modernizing a mature system while introducing newer tech (e.g., React portals, new services) without destabilizing production.
Cloud: Hands-on cloud experience in Azure (preferred) or AWS/GCP (monitoring/alerting, pipelines, basic IaC concepts).
API/integrations: Strong API design and documentation; integration experience in production.
AI / agentic workflows: Practical experience using AI/agentic dev tooling to accelerate delivery safely (ground-truthing outputs, repeatable workflows, privacy/IP hygiene).
AI in product/platform: Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into products or internal platforms (evaluation, monitoring, guardrails).
Front-end / adjacent languages: React depth; Node.js and/or Python for tooling/automation/integrations.
SOAP familiarity
Insurance domain exposure: policy/billing/claims/underwriting.
