The Role
The Software Engineering Lead is a hands-on team member that helps a capable product team deliver their Integrate actuarial development environment reliably and continuously.

Our engineers act as product engineers. Your impact comes from creating clarity in ambiguous spaces, improving delivery discipline, and raising the bar across the team.
Your Responsibilities:
Contribute directly to the codebase while supporting, shielding, and unblocking the team.
Continuously improve how workflows from idea to production so changes ship quickly, safely, and with minimal ceremony.
Help shape solutions when problems are not fully defined-working with stakeholders to understand the domain, clarify intent, and make pragmatic trade-offs.
Champion modern engineering practices: small changes, automated testing, CI/CD, and low-risk releases.
Partner with QA and Operations to build quality, observability, and reliability into everyday work.
Use simple metrics and feedback loops to improve flow, reduce risk, and learn from incidents.
Coach engineers across experience levels through reviews, pairing, and clear expectations.
Act as connective tissue across Product, QA, Ops, and Engineering-clarifying ownership and keeping teams aligned.
