Your Mission

Establish Pie as the preeminent commercial insurer among small business owners by delivering reliable, scalable tech solutions. You’ll be joining Pie at an exciting time as we were recently named to DC Inno’s 50 on Fire.

How You’ll Do It

As a Backend Engineer, you’ll be an instrumental member of Pie’s growing Engineering team. You will own and build large scale backend systems and micro-services. You will design, develop, and deliver powerful server-side applications.

There’s a good bit of fire-fighting in a highly dynamic startup environment, so you should enjoy new application development, root cause analysis and rapid problem-solving. Expect challenges while helping us build something awe-inspiring.

Whether It’s Right For You

You will be joining our team in downtown Denver, specifically LoDo within walking distance from Union Station. Everything we do is connected: we need you to be a strong communicator and a doer. We are a start-up so hands and minds are needed at peak efficiency.

This is a Senior-level position. We expect you’ll have spent 8 or more years working in similar software engineering and backend development roles. Of course, you’ll also need certain skills and abilities to do the work.

• Required Tech Skills. Object-oriented languages like C#/.NET Core and/or Java. REST APIs. Agile (Scrum or Kanban) and JIRA

• Full SDLC. When we say this, we really mean you’ll be a part of the full SDLC
• Education. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field preferred or equivalent years of experience
• Adaptable. No other phrase describes a startup like chaotic change. You have to thrive in it, love it, and adapt as needed.
• Raise Our Game. Execute on your ideas and recommendations to position the team for exponential growth. 
• Learning Mentality. Desire to quickly understand Pie’s platform, architecture, and integrations with 3rd party vendors.

Working at Pie
