Senior Front End Engineer React

We didn’t create Bold Penguin because commercial insurance is broken. It isn’t. But as the world has gotten more connected and digitized, commercial insurance lags — creating a fragmented landscape where businesses, agents, and insurance companies struggle to interact in a smooth and easy way. That’s why we’ve built a highly efficient exchange that cuts the friction out of commercial insurance by connecting everyone to the right quote in record time.

Powering the world of insurance is no small feat, so we’ve built a team that's incredibly talented and passionate about our potential to upgrade the entire industry. As more and more companies, big and small, depend on our technology to operate in the commercial insurance space, we’ll need the best talent all around to support our growth. That’s why we’re looking at you (yes, you!) to make a bold move and join our adventure.

YOUR ROLE You’ll be part of a cross-functional product team to help build & launch products that drastically improve the commercial insurance industry. Your knowledge on the front-end using React is what we will be seeking the most use of, along with collaboration in other technical areas with your teammates (backend, deployment, etc.). Your users will be commercial insurance agents and insurance carriers who will benefit from your engineering expertise everyday to efficiently provide commercial insurance for small business owners. In other words, you’ll be seen as a pretty big deal here. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO Build amazingly powerful and intuitive user experiences for commercial insurance agents and small business owners. Write clean, well-tested JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. Participate in agile ceremonies such as iteration planning, retrospective, and daily standups. Proactively research possible issues affecting the availability of our platform. Collaborate with product managers, designers, backend engineers, and customers to build impactful features. Build internal component libraries that will be used across products to ensure an uncommonly great user experience.
