Swyfft (www.Swyfft.com) is a fast growing, tech enabled MGA that's disrupting the traditional insurance industry by re-imagining how you price and bind home insurance. From lightning-fast quotes to hassle-free claims servicing, Swyfft leverages big data to provide the very best customer service experience in the industry-from click bound to quote in sixty seconds. We’re a fast-moving insurance company that totally gets why people don't normally use "fast-moving" and "insurance company" in the same sentence - and wants to change that.

** This position can be based in Morristown, NJ or Tallahassee, FL or Seattle, WA*** Other US remote options considered.

About the Role:

We need an excellent tester with authentic experience in the insurance industry. Swyfft has been growing quickly and when we mean quickly, we mean out of this world! We’ve been one of the fastest growing insurance companies, well, in the history of insurance companies. We’ve built a sustainable business, but now we need you to keep us on track to keep growing. We rely heavily on automated tests, but as you know those can only get you so far. We need someone with previous insurance industry experience who can dive right in and help us manage complex, multi-system integrated testing scenarios.

 

Key Responsibilities: (What you'll be asked to do)

  • Understand insurance related technical jargon/lingo well enough to communicate with the developers who are still playing D&D in their parent’s basement every Wednesday night.  
  • Ability to effectively learn and understand our underlying technology to predict and prevent where things are likely to break.
  • Troubleshoot system problems (in test and production) to highlight the root causes of failures and to focus dev effort efficiently.
  • Execute test plans efficiently and perform ad-hoc testing as needed.
  • Perform your own data validation and analysis using SQL.
  • Work independently, with other team members and from spec docs to create targeted test plans that exhibit the intersection of business needs and likely tech failures.

 

The Successful Candidate: (what we're looking for)

  • You have previous experience working in the insurance space (Ideally a small to mid-sized homeowners or commercial insurance carriers).
  • You understand complex insurance processes enough to know what we need before we even ask for it.
  • Deadlines don’t phase you, you’ve already finished the project three days early and can start working on something else.
  • You are an analytical problem solver that thrives in a fast-paced, very collaborative environment. 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Oh, and you have to be a reasonably nice person. Life is too short: we want to work with people we like.

 

Some Requirements:

  • Must have 2+ years in the property and casualty insurance space.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, IT or relevant experience required.
  • Remote work is fine, though it’s a plus (shrug) if you’re in one of the following areas: Morristown, NJ; Tallahassee, FL; Seattle, WA;

 

Computer Skills:

  • 3+ years performing testing or other similar tech-related work.
  • 2+ years SQL or similar scripting experience.
  • Coding and troubleshooting experience with our tech stack (.NET/C#/SQL Server).

 

We Have a Great Benefits Package!

  • 20 days of PTO annually
  • Medical, Dental, Vision
  • Short- and Long-Term Disability (Company Paid)
  • Life & AD&D (Company Paid)
  • Healthcare, Dependent Care and Transit FSA
  • 401K with a generous matching contribution and no vesting schedule
