The role
A backend heavy fullstack engineer who owns third party integrations and schema mapping end to end. This is not a forms and rates specialist. The person is accountable for the integration surface working, not for configuring a rating engine.
What the person owns
- Own third party integrations end to end, from contract negotiation with the counterparty system through to production support.
- Own schema mapping between external data shapes and the internal model.
- Build backend services for the Agentic MGA pre bind flow, with enough frontend range to ship a working slice.
- Work with the lead architect on integration and data design rather than receiving finished specifications.
Must have
- Strong backend engineering. Backend is the centre of this role and frontend is the supporting skill, not the reverse.
- Real ownership of third party integrations, including the messy parts: bad data, undocumented behaviour, unreliable counterparties.
- Data modelling and schema mapping depth.
- Insurance domain knowledge. The pre bind data model is genuinely complex and this seat is expected to carry that context, not learn it on the job.
Preferred, not required
- Experience with agentic or LLM based systems in production.
- MGA or program business exposure specifically, as opposed to carrier side only.
