Senior Software Engineer Integration Platform

𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿 | 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺
Fully remote (Colombia) · European business hours (CET/CEST)

The Configurations Lab is hiring on behalf of a client, one of the largest players in the global insurance sector. This is a position on the client's engineering team, not at the Lab. We run the search and manage applications; you would work directly with their team, fully remote from Colombia. Expect real ownership, clear technical direction, and well-scoped work.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲
The client is building a modern connectivity layer between AI-driven channels (conversational agents, chatbots, and partner-facing APIs) and a large-scale insurance platform. The existing architecture was designed for browser-based customer journeys and needs to evolve to support AI-native experiences end-to-end. You would join a focused engineering team building the services and integration patterns that make this possible, combining greenfield API design with pragmatic integration of existing backend systems.

- Build and maintain Go microservices exposing a clean, unified API surface across quote, pricing, policy, and payment operations
- Design integration adapters that abstract protocol heterogeneity (REST, gRPC, SOAP, XML) behind consistent internal interfaces
- Implement async and event-driven patterns to replace synchronous polling in payment and policy lifecycle flows
- Contribute to API contract definitions (OpenAPI, Protobuf) as the source of truth for new interfaces
- Write unit and integration tests against real backing services
- Participate in design reviews, code review, and collaborative async communication across time zones

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿
𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong Go expertise

- Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and cloud infrastructure (AWS)
- Able to read and extend existing codebases confidently without over-engineering
- Strong written English for async-first, distributed collaboration

𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲:
- OpenAPI contract-first development experience
- Familiarity with Kafka or event streaming platforms
- Background in fintech, insurtech, or regulated payment integrations
- Experience with secrets management in production environments (Vault or equivalent)

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀
- Fully remote, open to candidates based in Colombia
- Team of 4-5 engineers under internal technical leadership
- Async-first culture with regular synchronous touchpoints for design and planning

Availability aligned to Central European Time (CET/CEST, UTC+1/UTC+2) is required. Bogotá (COT) is UTC-5, so Europe runs 6 hours ahead in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer. A European workday of roughly 9:00-18:00 falls between about 3:00-12:00 in Bogotá (2:00-11:00 during European summer). Since the team is async-first, the expectation is reliable overlap during the European morning rather than a fully replicated European day.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Competitive salary for a multinational company, aligned with senior-level experience.
