Insurity’s Next Architect 
We’re looking for a hands-on Architect to join the Insurity Submission Gateway team. This is a small, senior engineering team where you’ll sit between our Senior Architect and Lead Developer and act as the connective tissue between business requirements, code, and cloud infrastructure. The ideal person is a jack-of-all-trades who loves rolling up their sleeves in the codebase, shaping architecture, troubleshooting, and building the automation that makes high-quality delivery repeatable.
 
What Our Architect Will Do 
  • Work with business stakeholders to define the technical path for the Insurity Submission Gateway application roadmaps and ensure alignment with business goals and architecture principles.
  • Own the technical solutions for complex features, determining approach, breaking down work, and guiding the team through delivery.
  • Participate in SDLC estimation, architecture decisions, and development processes for highly complex assignments.
  • Partner closely with development team to translate product and business requirements into scalable, cloud-native designs and implementation plans for the team.
  • Investigate, assess, and conduct proofs of concept for new and emerging technologies to ensure the best fit for Insurity’s cost structure, technical ecosystem, and product roadmap.
  • Evangelize new technologies, design standards, and architectural principles across engineering and business stakeholders.
  • Create architecture designs, design proposals, prototypes, and technical documentation (e.g., C4 diagrams, impact assessments) for new problem spaces and complex solutions and present them to stakeholders.
  • Reduce technical complexity and improve maintainability across the codebase, identifying opportunities to simplify, refactor, and standardize.
  • Lead and support development teams by providing technical guidance, peer reviews, and architectural oversight, and by coaching developers on best practices.
  • Design and evolve automated testing frameworks and harnesses to exercise complex flows, reduce manual testing, and enable push-button, high-confidence deployments.
  • Write high-quality code and unit tests in alignment with Insurity coding and documentation standards and provide in-depth troubleshooting and defect remediation when needed.
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies (grooming, design sessions, demos, Inspect & Adapt) and help prepare product backlog items so that technical scope, risks, and dependencies are well understood.
  • Contribute to the product’s architectural runway, identifying enablers and improvements across application, integration, and infrastructure layers to support new features and performance, scalability, and security needs.
  • Stay current on industry trends, best practices, and relevant technologies for cloud-native submission experiences, bringing new ideas and approaches back to the team.
Who We’re Looking For 
  • Proven ability to champion architecture and design decisions for application roadmaps and long-term product evolution.
  • Strong experience determining and evaluating technical solutions, including effective use of common design patterns.
  • Expertise in providing guidance to developers and reviewing architectural and technical solutions for quality, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Experience reviewing and troubleshooting system and application logs to identify and resolve issues.
  • Experience with relational and NoSQL databases for analyzing and modeling data structures to inform software design decisions.
  • Working knowledge of Kubernetes command-line tools to extract logs and identify potential issues during troubleshooting.
  • Experience with Git repositories and GitOps practices, including updating version configurations, supporting rollouts and rollbacks, and managing version inquiries.
  • Ability to learn, document, and provide configuration guidance to Professional Services, Product Support, and System Integrator (SI) partners on how to configure the software to support customer business use cases.
  • Solid understanding of development processes and principles to support troubleshooting, deployment, rollout coordination, and configuration management.
  • Fluent in PHP syntax to read, understand, and reason about existing code.
  • Recommended: 10+ years of experience in software development and architecture.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent work experience.
  • Strong technical leadership skills, including the ability to influence without authority.
  • Expert skills in analytical thinking, problem solving, and process improvement.
  • Ability to clearly present technical solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Travel required: 0–25%.
