## About the Role

* Solid hands-on experience as a software engineer with Node.js and TypeScript.
 * First experience leading or managing people - you don't need years of management under your belt, but you've done it at least once and want to grow into it further.
 * Full-stack understanding across frontend and backend, with a cloud-agnostic mindset.
 * Solid experience working with AI tools in your engineering workflow - Harnesses, delegating tasks to subagents, orchestrating multi-agent setups, and similar. Clear communicator, motivated to grow into building and guiding a team over time.
 * Insurance or finance experience is a plus.

## Description

* Take technical ownership of Configuration Experience - the team that builds and manages our insurance products - and set the direction for how the team delivers.
 * Spend the bulk of your time hands-on: researching technical solutions, writing RFCs, building PoCs with other teams, and shipping the resulting code yourself.
 * Act as a sparring partner for product managers and stakeholders on key business and technical decisions.
 * Keep delivery on track - plan realistically, follow agile principles, hit deadlines.
 * Lead people by example: give feedback, run team meetings, support colleagues' growth. This is a smaller part of the role - most of your time stays technical.
 * Spot obstacles early, resolve them, and keep stakeholders proactively informed.
