Bold Penguin, a digital broker for commercial insurance, is seeking a Full Stack Developer to design, build, and maintain internal applications, developer portals, automated workflows, and APIs that empower engineering and cross-functional teams.
In this role, you will design, develop, and deploy full-stack web applications and internal developer portals that automate manual processes across engineering and business teams. You'll build self-service web interfaces, CLI tools, and automated backend services to provision ephemeral environments and manage CI/CD pipelines. You'll develop robust data pipelines to move, transform, and integrate data across internal systems and third-party services, and craft intuitive, responsive user interfaces and dashboards that provide real-time visibility into workflow automation, deployment status, and platform metrics.
You'll apply security best practices, identity/auth controls, unit/integration testing, and compliance guardrails across full-stack applications. You'll implement logging, monitoring, and tracing to ensure high availability and performance, and partner closely with engineering, product, and operations teams to gather requirements and deliver high-impact developer experiences.
This is a fully remote role with the exception of onboarding and optional in-office events.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 3–5 years of relevant engineering experience
- Strong backend development skills (Python or Ruby preferred), with experience building RESTful APIs and microservices in cloud-native environments
- Experience with relational and non-relational database technologies (PostgreSQL, AWS RDS, MongoDB, Redis)
- Frontend development experience building interactive web applications and dashboards using JavaScript/TypeScript
- Solid understanding of containerization (Docker) and deploying/debugging full-stack applications in cloud environments, particularly AWS
- Experience consuming, configuring, or extending CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline) to automate build, test, and release processes
- Good understanding of software architecture, data modeling, automated testing (unit, integration, end-to-end), and security/authentication standards (OAuth2, OIDC)
NICE TO HAVES:
- Experience developing internal developer tools, CLI utilities, or self-service developer portals (e.g., Backstage)
- Modern JavaScript/TypeScript frontend frameworks (React, Vue.js, Next.js)
- Building or supporting data pipelines and ETL processes (Apache Spark, AWS Glue, Snowflake)
- Infrastructure as Code concepts (Terraform, AWS CDK) and monitoring/observability platforms (DataDog, Grafana)
