Senior Fullstack Engineer (ReactJS, NodeJS)

At Hippo Insurance, we’ve got almost 20 tech charters up and running — and we’re still growing fast. That’s why hiring for engineering roles is a never-ending story here, and we usually have several recruitments going on at the same time. Joining us means becoming part of a product company in the insurance technology space — building and owning long-term solutions.

You'll join one of our product charters as a Sr. Fullstack Engineer (FE leaning) who owns features end to end – from an ambiguous problem statement, through design and implementation across the stack, to production and the metrics that follow. You'll work in a cross-functional team alongside Product, Design, QA, and other engineers, with real influence over what we build and how we build it.

If you've ever been curious about how insurance actually works under the hood, this is a great place to find out!

What will you do?

• You'll design and build user-facing features end to end – React frontends, the Node.js services and BFF layers behind them, and their interactions with data stores and third-party APIs.
• You'll own technical direction in your domain: you'll break down large, fuzzy problems into shippable increments and make the architecture calls that come with them.
• You'll partner with Product Managers and Designers early, challenging requirements and shaping scope before a line of code is written.
• You'll support reliable databases and APIs for real-time automated decision-making.
• You'll deploy your software using industry-standard tooling like Kubernetes clusters, and Lambda functions.
• You'll investigate and resolve production issues by analyzing code, data, and system behavior, then propose and implement timely fixes to minimize user impact.
• You'll care deeply about security in everything you do and constantly raise the baseline of how we defend our users' data against external threats and themselves.
• You'll implement robust automated test suites across the test pyramid to ensure high quality and a low failure rate of delivered code.
• You'll mentor mid-level engineers, give high-quality code review feedback, and act as a go-to person for engineers who lean more heavily to one side of the stack.
• You'll have huge creative freedom and the ability to put your mark on the project – and you'll take ownership and responsibility for what you do.
• You'll have a lot of chances to develop your skills as well as learn a lot about how tech business is done in the US.

• Have at least 5 years of hands-on commercial experience building web applications, with real depth on both sides of the stack – React, Node.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
