Senior Software Engineer, GRS Distribution & Underwriting

Description
Do you have the skills, and drive, to help modernize mission-critical underwriting systems? Join Liberty Mutual's Global Risk Solutions (GRS) - Underwriting Risk Proposal, & Issuance team to help transform our Surety bond servicing platform from legacy tech to a modern, scalable platform. You'll work in an agile environment with the autonomy to own complex problems, the opportunity to mentor teammates, and the stability of a Fortune 100 company.
Responsibilities:

• Own and deliver subcomponents of the Surety Underwriting product lifecycle in an Agile & collaborative team space. Design, implement, test, deploy, and operate.
• Translate higher-level architecture into pragmatic, testable solutions that teams can implement and maintain.
• Provide day-to-day technical leadership: lead design discussions, code reviews, ensure engineering standards, and mentor less experienced engineers while also guiding other contractor teams.
• Drive CI/CD and quality: help maintain pipeline, ensure reliable automated testing practices, and improve deployment frequency and safety.
• Improve observability and operational resilience: add metrics, logs, alerts, and runbook procedures to reduce MTTR and support 24/7 operations.
• Coordinate across multiple delivery teams and vendors to align on API contracts, data models, integration patterns, and deliverable timelines.
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, and demos; estimate and decompose stories into clear technical tasks.
• Advocate for continuous improvement: performance tuning, technical debt reduction, and modernization efforts that enable international scale.

Impact & outcomes:

• Accelerate delivery of the GPL Keystone initiative by reliably delivering feature components and reducing rework due to integration issues.
• Improve deployment cadence and reduce release risk through stronger CI/CD, automated testing, and observability.
• Raise team capability by mentoring engineers and stabilizing contractor contributions.

Qualifications

• A minimum of five years of software engineering experience
• Domain experience in insurance, underwriting, or financial services (helpful but not required).
• Prior experience modernizing legacy systems or migrating monoliths to microservices.
• Experience in tech stack (React, NestJS, Aurora Progress, Github Actions, GraphQL, Typescript, Javascript)
• Experience with observability tools (Datadog, Splunk, etc.) and designing runbooks/incident response processes.
• Bonus:
  • Familiarity with test automation frameworks (Playwright, Selenium) and experience collaborating closely with QA automation leads.

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in a technical or business discipline, or equivalent experience
