What you will do

You’ll be part of a product development squad and help to build auto insurance tech solutions leveraging bleeding edge AI visual models to provide automation for our insurance customers.

Product squads for our auto products help our customers to generate estimates from a collection of damaged photos of the vehicle or help to review existing damage estimates that are sent by body shops. Our product greatly increases the efficiency of insurers’ processes and enables them to resolve their customers’ problems much more rapidly after an accident.

As an Engineer, you’ll be responsible for the entire lifecycle of the code you write: Development, test, deployment, support and any bug fixes. You’ll be a subject matter expert in at least a large part of the code base with a good understanding of the overall product.

On a day to day basis you will

• Be a member of your scrum squad developing solutions to make Tractable products better
• Write code with deep emphasis on scalability, reliability and maintainability.
• Actively participate in the various scrum ceremonies to promote collaboration between the squad members.
• Ensure that best engineering practices are followed.
• Pair with other Senior and Staff Engineers to break down complicated problems into actionable sprint items.
• Be a part of the on-call rota to provide support to your work product.
• Regularly present your tasks and achievements in the Tractable ceremonies like Show and Tell and Engineering Huddles.
• Be proactive in applying novel technologies in order to ensure incremental increase in quality and/or performance of the product.
