The Role

We are looking for a Software Developer to own and evolve our internal insurance platform. It is a live, actively used system built on Hono/TypeScript and hosted on Azure. Working directly under our CTO, you will be responsible for keeping the platform healthy, improving usability, and progressively building out new features.

This is an AI-first role. Rather than writing code from scratch line-by-line, we expect you to work primarily through AI coding assistants, using Claude Cowork as your primary tool. We will provide a Claude Max 20x licence and a healthy token allocation. Your value will come from understanding our business well enough to direct AI effectively, review what it produces, and ship reliable improvements.

This is a stable, ongoing full-time position, not a short-term build engagement. The platform is already in production and serving our team daily.

What You'll Do

• Maintain and support our live Hono/TypeScript platform running on Azure, ensuring reliability and performance.

• Implement new features and usability improvements, prioritised and directed by the CTO.

• Use Claude Code and AI coding tools as your primary development method; prompting, reviewing, testing, and iterating rather than manual coding.

• Translate insurance business logic such as policy lifecycles, appetite guidelines, quoting mechanics into well-structured software prompts and architecture.

• Manage deployments and general Azure environment maintenance.

• Collaborate closely with the CTO and the broader FTA team to understand operational needs and deliver practical solutions.

Who You Are

• You have a solid foundation in full-stack development, Hono/TypeScript experience is a plus, but the ability to learn quickly with AI assistance matters more.

• You have a minimum of 2-3 years of full-stack development experience.

• It is a bonus if you have meaningful exposure to the insurance industry, ideally including familiarity with policy lifecycles, quoting, and general insurance operations.

• You are a confident and experienced user of AI coding assistants, and you genuinely prefer orchestrating AI over manual coding.

• You have regular use experience with AI coding assistants in professional development environments.

• You are comfortable owning a live production system, patient, methodical, and thorough when it comes to testing and deployment.

• You are a pragmatic problem solver who cares about outcomes for the business and the team using the platform every day.

• You must be an Australian citizen with the right to work in Australia.
