Senior Cloud-Native Workflow Automation Engineer (Remote)

Senior Software Engineer - Workflow Automation

Contract - Fully Remote (US)

Overview

This is a high-impact software engineering role within a large insurance organization undergoing a significant transformation. The team is focused on modernizing operational workflows, improving straight-through processing, and reducing manual intervention through scalable automation and integration solutions.

A key focus is workflow orchestration and backend engineering to support retirement decisioning, system integrations, and enterprise automation initiatives across highly connected platforms.

Role Purpose

• The Senior Software Engineer will design, build, and support scalable, cloud-native workflow and automation applications that power critical retirement business processes.
• The role is heavily focused on backend engineering, API integrations, and workflow orchestration, enabling straight-through processing and modernizing operational systems across the enterprise.
• This position requires strong technical execution in AWS while collaborating closely with business and engineering stakeholders to deliver reliable, production-grade solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop scalable, secure automated workflow applications supporting retirement operations
• Build and maintain cloud-native solutions using microservices, containers, and serverless AWS services
• Develop API integrations and backend services across enterprise systems
• Support workflow automation and straight-through processing initiatives to reduce manual work
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and DevOps practices
• Troubleshoot production issues and participate in root cause analysis
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver integrated automation solutions
• Support system onboarding and migration activities across platforms
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to engineering best practices

In Order to Be Successful

• Strong experience in backend engineering, workflow automation, and system integration within complex enterprise environments is essential.
• Candidates should have hands-on experience with Python and/or Node.js, AWS cloud-native development, APIs, and modern DevOps practices.
• Experience in insurance, retirement services, or regulated financial services environments is highly beneficial, particularly where automation and operational efficiency have been key priorities.

Why This Role Stands Out

• This is a rare opportunity to work on enterprise-scale automation and integration initiatives within a major insurance organization.
• The role offers strong visibility across engineering and business teams and the chance to directly impact how critical retirement workflows are modernized and scaled.
• It suits an engineer who enjoys solving complex integration challenges and building reliable, scalable cloud-native systems in a collaborative environment.
