Software Developer II

• Committed to WOW our Customers: You build features knowing Operations, carriers, or teammates will lean on them daily - you test the edge cases, not just the happy path.
• Great Just Isn’t Good Enough: Shipping isn’t the finish line. You look back at your own modules and ask what would make them faster, cleaner, or more resilient.
• One Team, One Goal: You mentor Developer I’s work when asked and pull in senior developers when you’re stuck - you don’t let a blocker sit quietly.
• Passion for Excellence: Your pull requests are ones a senior developer can approve with confidence, not ones that need a rewrite.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build production features on The Platform in JavaScript/Node.js, C#, or an equivalent language
• Write and optimize SQL and relational database logic (Azure SQL/AWS DB)
• Use Azure cloud services (Container Apps, Blob Storage, Azure AI/OpenAI services) as part of feature delivery
• Apply AI-assisted development to complete most implementation work, refining and verifying the rest
• Lead small development initiatives or design sessions with guidance from senior developers
• Mentor Software Developer I on platform development practices
• Manage multiple tasks or projects at once and meet deadlines without sacrificing quality
• Follow Agile sprint assignments, focusing on the most critical projects set by the R&D Manager, * AI-fluent, not AI-dependent. A players move fast with AI-assisted tools but still know why the code works and can defend it in review.
• Mentors without being asked twice. When Developer I gets stuck, A players jump in - not because it’s assigned, but because that’s how the team gets better.
• Comfortable with ambiguity. Requirements aren’t always fully defined. A players ask the right clarifying questions and move, rather than waiting for a perfect spec.
• Owns the production quality bar. A players test edge cases, think about what breaks under load, and don’t treat “it works on my machine” as done.
• Speaks up early. If a design or deadline doesn’t make sense, A players raise it constructively and early, not after the sprint has failed., * You want fully scoped tickets with no ambiguity or ownership * You’re not interested in mentoring or supporting Developer I
• You’re uncomfortable with priorities shifting mid-sprint
• You’d rather avoid AI-assisted tools than integrate them into your workflow

• 3+ years of professional software development experience, including production work in JavaScript/Node.js, C#, or an equivalent modern language
• Proficient SQL and relational database design experience (Azure SQL, AWS DB, or equivalent)
• Working knowledge of cloud services such as Azure Container Apps, Blob Storage, or equivalent
• Working knowledge of authentication and access frameworks (Auth0, two-factor authentication, role-based access control)
• Fundamental knowledge of insurance BPO business processes across Print, Call Center, Virtual Mailroom, and Premium & Lockbox
• Proficient understanding of The Platform’s architecture, core modules, AI/API sandbox, and customer-facing portal, along with Covenir’s development standards and coding practices
• Experience with Git/GitHub and CI/CD-based deployment
• Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools as a core part of daily workflow
• Ability to create clear, concise technical and test documentation for platform modules
• Experience mentoring or supporting less experienced developers is a plus
• Completes Software Developer I onboarding requirements and SOC compliance/data-security training, and passes Covenir’s internal development standards review
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
• Performs other duties as assigned by the R&D Manager in support of Covenir’s broader business needs

What an A Player Looks Like

• Ships without babysitting. A players take a feature from idea to production with minimal handholding, checking in at the right moments instead of every step., * 3+ years of hands-on development experience,
• comfortable owning a feature end to end
• Proficient with JavaScript/Node.js, C#, or an
• equivalent language, and SQL/relational databases
• Enjoys mentoring more junior developers without
• needing to be asked
• Comfortable with AI-assisted development tools and
• confident explaining the resulting code
