Senior Fullstack Engineer (Poland, Remote)

Job description

# **About First Connect:** First Connect Insurance Services is a digital marketplace providing independent insurance agents access to top US carriers and the optionality necessary to grow their businesses. Agents can work with 150+ carriers, selling various insurance policies, including home, auto, small business, and more. We're on a mission to overhaul the technology agents have access to, putting consumer-grade software at their fingertips. We've got thousands of active agents with hundreds joining monthly, and we plan to accelerate our growth. # **Role Overview:** The core of our business revolves around retrieving and processing vast amounts of insurance carrier data. This isn't just about moving numbers — this data enables our most critical platform features and powers the entire agency commission cycle. You'll join a team that cares as much about *why* we're building something as *how* we build it. We're looking for an engineer who can connect the dots between the data we process and the business outcomes it drives — someone who understands agent and carrier needs well enough to help shape the right solution, not just implement a spec. You'll contribute to key data domains that power our core business, working comfortably with diverse data structures, real-time systems, and varying data quality. You'll also take part in a dynamic discovery flow — building POCs to validate the direction our product should take next. Our team operates in a highly dynamic, startup-like environment where priorities shift quickly based on customer needs. This is a backend-leaning fullstack role: most of your day-to-day will live in data pipelines, integrations, and systems logic, with lighter, supporting exposure to the frontend. ### **What You'll Do:** In this role, you will contribute to: - Real-Time Data integrations and Commission systems, with your main focus on the backend/data layer — frontend exposure here is secondary, mostly around how that data gets presented. - Incentive programs, including our Rewards Program (Shared Growth Plan) and other new initiatives as they evolve. - Existing data pipelines across backend and frontend systems, supporting improvements, maintenance, and incremental development where needed. - Integrating and working with multiple data sources: build and maintain integrations with external systems, ensuring data consistency and reliability across pipelines. - Bringing a product mindset to your work: thinking about how the data and systems you build ultimately serve agents, carriers, and business goals — not just solving the technical problem in isolation. - Ensuring engineering quality: writing clean, maintainable code with a strong focus on testing culture. - Leveraging modern tooling and AI: using AI tools as an active part of your development workflow. ## **We might be a match, if you:** - have 4+ years of commercial experience as a fullstack developer, with your strength primarily on the backend — you're confident writing NestJS services and PostgreSQL queries; frontend experience is important but doesn't need to be at the same level, - feel comfortable using Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL, - think like a product person as much as an engineer: you ask *why* before *how*, and you naturally connect your technical decisions to what agents, carriers, and the business actually need, - have a Startup Mindset: high ownership and the ability to navigate ambiguity. We are looking for people who want to build and grow, not just maintain, - are based in Poland with flexibility for partial US time zone overlap. - are fluent in English (C1) and Polish (C1). **You’ll get extra points for:** - Advanced SQL & Optimization: Deep knowledge of PostgreSQL performance tuning, indexing strategies, and handling large-scale datasets. ### **Our tech-stack:** - TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, React, AWS - Docker and container-based deployment technologies (e.g. Kubernetes/Fargate) - Automated software testing on unit/integration/end-to-end levels ## Recruitment process: - Send us your CV and fill out the application form – it's the best way for us to get to know you - Meet Karolina, our Recruiter for initial interview - Join a technical interview with our Team Members - Meet our team for a live coding interview - Talk with Hiring Manager - Join [**Wojtek**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wryczaj/?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAABMQj_IBev4f0-jw0z6SCIE7ymOK-aUKAas) and [**Ola**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleksandrabugajska/) for final stage call ... and welcome aboard! 👋 ## **What benefits are waiting for you:** **Salary** 26 000 PLN - 31 000 PLN net + VAT on B2B **Benefits & Perks** 🌎 Remote work & flexible working hours 🏖️ Non-service days 💊 Private medical care with dentists & orthodontists package for you and your family ❤️ Group life insurance 🤸 Multisport card reimbursed 75% 💻 Gear with Apple logo and a nice Dell monitor 🎫 Cafeteria platform — monthly allowance to spend on whatever you want 🎉 Team building events — annual Offsite & Christmas Parties, plus our #WinterEscape workation week in the Mediterranean
