About The Position

About Rival Rival Insurance Technology is a Canadian insurtech company building Canada's next-generation insurance platform. We are modernizing how brokers run their business while building AI-native capabilities that belong in a regulated environment. We are remote-first, move fast, and take technical quality seriously. The Role We are looking for an Intermediate Full Stack Developer to join our engineering team. You bring around 4 years of hands-on experience building production software, are comfortable across the stack in C# and modern front-end frameworks, and are ready to take real ownership of features end-to-end. This is not a checkbox role. You will work on meaningful problems, collaborate with a small and capable team, and have visible impact on a platform used by insurance brokers across Canada.

Requirements

• Approximately 4 years of experience in full stack software development in production environments
• Strong proficiency in C# and ASP.NET for back-end development
• Solid front-end skills in a modern framework (React, Angular, or equivalent)
• Experience working with Microsoft Azure and Azure DevOps
• Familiarity with cloud-hosted services, microservices concepts, and API design
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows
• Comfortable writing and reviewing unit and integration tests
• Demonstrated fluency with AI development tools -- specifically Claude Code and GitHub Copilot -- in a production or project context
• Reliable and delivery-focused with a high standard for the quality of your own work
• Clear communicator who flags issues early and asks good questions
• Curious and growth-oriented -- you want to get better and you take feedback well
• Collaborative without being dependent -- you can work independently and know when to involve others

Nice To Haves

• Experience in insurance, financial services, or other regulated industries
• Exposure to containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, or AKS)
• Familiarity with observability tooling (logging, metrics, distributed tracing)
• Experience with event-driven architectures or messaging platforms

Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and improve front-end interfaces and back-end services using C#, ASP.NET, and Azure-hosted infrastructure
• Design and implement RESTful APIs and support integration with internal systems and third-party services
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle from design through deployment and post-release support
• Write clean, testable, well-documented code with attention to performance and reliability
• Write and maintain unit and integration tests as a standard part of delivery
• Support code reviews and contribute constructive, actionable feedback
• Debug and resolve issues across the stack with a systematic, evidence-based approach
• Work in an Agile environment, contributing actively to sprint planning, refinement, and retrospectives
• Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and technical leads to deliver outcomes, not just outputs
• Surface blockers and risks early and communicate clearly about progress and scope
• Work with Claude Code and GitHub Copilot as standard parts of your daily development workflow, not as supplements, but as core tools
• Use AI tooling to accelerate code generation, refactoring, documentation, and test coverage, and know how to review and validate AI-generated output critically
• Contribute to a team culture where AI fluency raises the collective bar, sharing effective prompting approaches, tooling patterns, and what actually works in practice

Benefits

• Remote-first across Canada with a team that trusts you to do the work
• Meaningful technical problems on a platform that is actively evolving
• A small enough team that your contributions are visible and your voice is heard
• A culture that values accountability, continuous improvement, and doing things right
