Sr Engineer, Software Engineer - Full-stack (Java/Angular) 2 - 5 years' experience
About The Position
Nationwide Financials' Institutional Life Insurance (ILI) technology team is seeking a Software Engineer to support this business line. ILI manufactures, sells, and services employer-owned life insurance products for institutional and business clients, including Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (COLI), Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI), and Insurance Company-Owned Life Insurance (ICOLI). As a Senior Software Engineer, you will focus primarily on providing high-quality, efficient technology solutions to business partners by crafting new software applications or modifying and/or supporting existing packaged or custom-built applications. In this capacity, you’ll analyze, code, configure, test, debug, document, and maintain applications.
Requirements
- Java: Experience developing with Spring Boot and designing, building, and maintaining REST APIs.
- Angular: Frontend development experience, with the ability to work within and extend existing Angular applications.
- SQL: Working knowledge of relational databases and query writing.
- Two or more years of software engineering, analysis, or related technology experience.
- Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Java, C++, Python, or JavaScript.
- Knowledge of software development lifecycle.
- Proven ability to tackle moderately complex business and development problems.
- Ability to thrive in a team environment.
- Independent ownership: Takes responsibility for assigned work, operates effectively with minimal direction, and navigates ambiguity to resolve blockers.
- Self-directed debugging: Troubleshoots and resolves issues in their own code without relying on others as a first resort.
- Curiosity-driven learning: Learns unfamiliar systems and functionality by tracing code, researching available information, and building understanding from first principles.
- Legacy code literacy: Comfortable understanding and extending existing codebases. Much of the team’s work involves enhancing established systems rather than building entirely new applications.
- Continuous learning: Motivated to stay current with the tools, frameworks, and development practices the team uses today and adopts in the future.
Nice To Haves
- .NET: API development experience, including familiarity with LINQ for data querying.
- GitHub Actions: Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline automation. Knowledge of Nationwide’s internal Actions library is a significant plus for internal candidates, particularly as the team prepares for upcoming chart migration work aligned with golden paths.
- GitHub Copilot: Experience using Copilot to plan and execute package and version migrations—not solely for code generation.
- Apigee: API proxy experience is a plus, especially for internal candidates familiar with Nationwide’s proxy enforcement rules. Strong external candidates can be trained in this area.
- Technical documentation literacy: Ability to read and interpret technical changelogs, migration guides, and framework release notes, including identifying breaking changes in Angular versions that may affect the team.
- Insurance/financial services industry knowledge a plus.
