Job description
Our Mission

We're not your average benefits platform; we're the unordinary force that uplifts people's lives. Our technology is the link that connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers.

Our mission is clear: we're here to create a world where everything operates at its very best, ensuring that every employee receives the support they need to live life to the fullest, both at work and beyond.

Your Mission

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a big part in the development of the core API layer and business logic in our platform, as well as engaging frontend components that follow the latest UI, UX and accessibility trends.

We’re looking for self-starters who are seeking a fast-paced environment where they can make a difference. Our team is small, which means high autonomy, ownership, and responsibility. We love what we do, have fun and, while we ship on time, take life-work balance seriously.

Things you will be working on…

Design, implement and deliver web application features and projects with full ownership, using your technical expertise

Specifically, implement API endpoints, business logic, complex frontend components and MVPs for our employee benefits management platform

Deliver your implementations from start to finish

Take ownership of business critical components, ensure their stability & maintainability

Collaborate with product stakeholders and other members of the team to scope and estimate optimal solutions for business problems

Ensure that security considerations are taken into account, based on current best practices (e.g. OWASP Top 10, AWS Well-Architected Framework) in all software development and infrastructure projects

Behind the scenes

Our cross-functional delivery team is focused on business goals and solving problems in an efficient manner. We want the team to collaborate on new ideas and projects to find the best solutions.

Ben is built on Python 3, Django, Go, PostgreSQL and React. We run on AWS and follow engineering best practices, with a pragmatic approach.

We've just released our first ever Go service at Ben, so, whilst the language is relatively known, there's still huge amounts of work to be done here!

You’ll love this role if you are/have:

Fluent in Python

Strong experience with Django, or other related frameworks (Flask, FastAPI)

Fluent in Typescript and/or JavaScript

Experienced with at least one major web framework; ideally React.js

Temporal.io experience (nice to have)

Excellent software engineering knowledge: Clean architecture & design patterns, SOLID design principles and clean code

Applied information security in building secure web applications and infrastructure configurations

Have an understanding and appreciation of the principles and practices of agile and lean ways of working, but with a pragmatic edge

An excellent communicator, adaptable to both tech and business audiences

and you...

are a self-starter who thrives on autonomy, enjoys a rapid pace and wants to make a difference

have a continuous improvement mindset. You appreciate that there are always ways to do things better and ensure your team does too

have a preference to action-oriented behaviour with just enough analysis, as compared to too much time spent doing analysis with no action

have the ability to make decisions balancing different factors such as business requirements, technical integrity, overall priorities etc.

appreciate the opportunities and challenges of a distributed work environment

are solution-focused with a pragmatic approach to problem-solving
