As a Senior Software Engineer on our Ancillaries squad, you will build integrations that expand what we can offer travelers—connecting external providers to our platform so partners like , Skyscanner, and Ryanair can deliver personalized protection and services at scale.

We're building AI-first. You'll use agentic tools like Claude Code and Gemini as core parts of your workflow—not as novelties, but as multipliers that let a small team ship like a big one. You'll shape how we integrate AI into development practices, from code generation to testing to documentation, and help define what "agentic software engineering" looks like at Cover Genius.

This is a founding role: high ownership, high ambiguity, high impact. You'll make architectural decisions that scale across dozens of provider integrations, mentor engineers in AI-augmented workflows, and own outcomes from day one.

Design and build integrations with external providers—defining patterns that scale across many partners and product types.

Use AI tools (Claude Code, Gemini) as core workflow accelerators; develop prompt strategies and agentic workflows that multiply your output.

Lead technical decisions for the Ancillaries squad, balancing speed-to-market with long-term maintainability.

Drive technical quality through code reviews, design discussions, and by setting standards that raise the bar for AI-augmented development.

Collaborate with product and business stakeholders to prioritize integrations and translate partner needs into technical solutions.

Mentor engineers in AI-first development practices—help the team adopt tools and workflows that make everyone more effective.

Own reliability and observability for integration surfaces; ensure we know when things break before our partners do.

6+ years of experience in software development, with a track record of shipping production systems.

Fluent with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, or similar)—you've integrated them into real workflows, not just experimented.

Working understanding of LLMs beyond code generation

Deep experience with Node.js and Type Script; hands‑on experience with NestJS or similar frameworks.

Polyglot mindset—comfortable picking up new languages; experience or exposure to Python or PHP is a plus.

Experience designing APIs and building integrations with third‑party services at scale.

Strong understanding of microservices architectures, cloud infrastructure (AWS), and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).

Solid grasp of relational databases, data modeling, and event‑driven patterns.

Comfort with ambiguity—you've built systems where requirements were discovered along the way.

Strong communication skills; able to document decisions, write clear specs, and influence without authority.

Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, a postgraduate degree and/or a record of academic achievement is also desirable

Takes ambiguous problems and drives them to shipped outcomes—not just code, but results.
