Job description
About the Position
At Coverzen, we're revolutionizing the insurance industry. Our platform is used by hundreds of brokers to compare quotes, issue policies, and manage clients and documents. We aim to bring everything into one place and automate the repetitive tasks that take time away from client interaction.
We are seeking a Backend Developer who is passionate about building, asking questions, and contributing ideas. You'll join a team where your input will help shape the product's future.
Why This Is Interesting
The code you write will directly impact the daily work of Coverzen users. A better integration can simplify a quote, and an automation can eliminate a manual task that is repeated dozens of times. Understanding the significance of what you're building is part of the job.
On the technical side, there are plenty of challenges. We connect systems from various insurance carriers, sometimes without available APIs, and build services that must keep working even when something breaks on the other end. This requires curiosity, patience in problem-solving, and the drive to find proper solutions.
Responsibilities
- Microservices in TypeScript with Fastify: You'll build new features and improve existing ones.
- Service and API design: You'll help make technical decisions, discussing options with the team.
- Insurance carrier integrations: You'll connect different systems, including through web scraping and data extraction when no API is available.
- Quality and production: You'll write tests, participate in code reviews, and help monitor and troubleshoot after a release.
- AI in development: You'll use AI tools like Claude Code daily to write code, explore existing code, and automate repetitive tasks.
Requirements
- Experience building backends with Node.js and TypeScript.
- Experience with Fastify, Express, NestJS, or similar frameworks, and willingness to work with Fastify.
- Experience building APIs, integrating third-party services, and contributing to production applications.
- Ability to write tests and use debugging tools to track down issues.
- Ability to manage agreed-upon tasks independently and seek help when needed.
- Curiosity about how the entire system fits together and a desire to take on more ownership over time.
Nice to Have
- Experience with microservices and distributed systems.
- Experience with PHP and Laravel.
- Experience with web scraping.
- Experience using AI tools for development.
- Familiarity with the insurance industry.
We Offer
- €40,000–50,000 gross annual salary, depending on experience.
- Permanent employee contract.
- Fully remote, from anywhere in Italy.
- Budget for training and conferences.
- Company benefits and meal vouchers.
Interested? We’d love to hear what you’ve built and what you’d like to take on in your next role.
