NEXT’s mission is to help entrepreneurs thrive. We’re doing that by building the only technology-led, full-stack provider of small business insurance in the industry, taking on the entire value chain and transforming the customer experience.

Simply put, wherever you find small businesses, you’ll find NEXT.

Since 2016, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of small business customers across the United States get fast, customized and affordable coverage. We’re backed by industry leaders in insurance and tech, and we still have room to grow — that’s where you come in.

Our Backend Software Engineer can expect to work with the latest backend technologies and programming languages. We’re big fans of server-side Kotlin and produce clean, testable code fast and push it into production several times a day via our CI / CD pipeline. You will work closely with other functional areas in the company – Product, Marketing, and our Front-end engineers- to rapidly iterate on our product and find the best solutions to our challenges. You will take ownership of features – from inception through design and coding, eventually bringing your feature to production at a high level of quality and test coverage.

Requirements:

• At least 5 years of proven experience in Backend development. Java/Kotlin or similar languages (Python, .NET).
• B.Sc. in Computer Science or equivalent is a must.
• Excellent knowledge and understanding of OOP concepts and best practices.
• Hands-on development of highly distributed, cloud-based environments - an advantage. We work with AWS, but any cloud experience is a plus.
