8d • $96,700 - $161,200 • Remote

About The Position

Symetra's AI Enablement team is a fast-growing team of builders inside our Data Analytics organization. Our goal is to accelerate AI adoption across the company in two ways: by building shared platforms, tooling, and patterns that let other teams effectively integrate AI into their workflows, and by shipping AI-powered applications for the most important use cases. We work in small, cross-functional teams, build with the people who use what we make, and move fast. Our first product in production, docstream, is an AI-powered document-processing platform that currently supports several of Symetra's back-end operational processes. We plan to continue to iterate on docstream and to build out other products using the same modular architecture, integrating third-party products where it makes sense. As a Software Engineer II, you'll build and ship features across our products on one of these teams. You'll write the services, APIs, and interfaces that make up our applications, take part in code and design reviews, and grow your skills with support from the senior engineers around you.

Requirements

• An early-career software engineer who ships quality code and is growing toward owning larger pieces of work.
• Experience building services, APIs, or web applications.
• Experience with containers (e.g. Docker) and cloud services.
• Solid problem-solving and communication; excited to work with other engineering teams and business stakeholders who are your internal customers.
• Use AI coding agents effectively in your day-to-day work, with the judgment to know when to use them and when not to.

Nice To Haves

• Built LLM-powered applications (prompting, retrieval/RAG, evaluations, agents, MCP).
• Familiarity with AWS Bedrock or other model-hosting platforms.
• Infrastructure-as-code with AWS CDK.
• Frontend development with TypeScript and React.
• Document-processing, OCR, or data-extraction experience.

Responsibilities

• Write secure, high-quality, performant code and ship features across our products.
• Take part in code reviews and design reviews and contribute ideas to our designs.
• Test your code and help keep our automation and delivery running smoothly.
• Help investigate and fix production issues.
• Support interns and entry-level engineers as you grow.
