At SimplyInsured we are on a mission to eliminate fear in health insurance.

Health insurance is complicated, expensive, and really important - so it tends to create fear for most people; our goal is to reduce that fear as much as possible. 

We specifically work with small business owners who have the enormous task of purchasing the right type of insurance for their employees and their families. With more than 20,000 customers and several major partnerships including Intuit and Square, we're growing quickly and disrupting this convoluted and confusing industry by making it more transparent and fully accessible to everyone. We got our start in the Y-Combinator incubator, and have been funded by top-tier investors at Polaris Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, New York Life Ventures and AltaIR Capital. 

Job Summary:

We're seeking a Full Stack Software Engineer to join our engineering team and play a pivotal role in elevating our platform to new heights.

  • Exhibit a strong aptitude for problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration and rapidly identifying and rectifying frontend issues and roadblocks with efficiency and precision.
  • Demonstrate leadership by setting standards, fostering innovation, and ensuring feature quality through rigorous testing.
  • Harness your background in consumer-facing tools/products to bring a user-centric perspective to all engineering endeavors.

What You'll Bring:

  • A robust background of at least 6+ years in full-stack web development, with a strong emphasis on front end technologies in one or more of the technologies within our stack (React, Redux, Ruby).
  • Expertise in debugging and enhancing infrastructure, with a keen eye for identifying areas of improvement.
  • Versatility across the entire technology stack, demonstrating proficiency from designing Redux stores to optimizing deployment scripts.
  • A knack for architecting elegant solutions amidst complex business scenarios, especially in domains such as health insurance.
  • A track record of sucessfully leading and contributing to projects from concept to launch 
  • Superb written and verbal communication skills, allowing you to articulate ideas and collaborate effectively with diverse teams.
  • A deep understanding of reading the DOM, interpreting network and JavaScript interactions, and navigating the intricacies of web applications.

If you're excited to play a pivotal role in steering a cutting-edge platform's evolution, driving collaboration across diverse teams, and employing your prowess in frontend and backend technologies, we encourage you to apply. Your expertise will directly contribute to our mission of delivering an exceptional consumer-facing product in a dynamic startup environment.

  • FSA plan
  • 401k 
  • A values-based culture that invests in employee success

Compensation:

The base salary range for this position is $137,500 to $165,000.

We have a market-based compensation structure. The salary for this position may vary based on a candidate's experience, industry expertise, technical skills, and location. The range provided is just one component of total compensation including, but not limited to bonus eligibility based upon the achievement of performance objectives and company stock options.

Our Culture:

We value radical transparency, feedback, bias to action, growth, and an obligation to dissent. Every opinion is respected, we hold each other to extremely high standards, we're driven by the diversity in our backgrounds, and unified by 100% alignment on our mission.

Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don't apply for roles if they don't meet all the criteria. We strongly encourage you to apply if you're interested; we'd love to learn how you can amplify our team with your unique experience!

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in SimplyInsured’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
