Software Engineer - Frontend

About CoverForce At CoverForce, we're on a mission to transform the insurance industry by making it faster and easier for businesses to get the coverage they need. Now is the perfect time to join our team and help shape the future of insurtech. Thousands of insurance agents and corporate customers depend on our tools to simplify quoting, comparing, and buying insurance policies. We partner with top insurers like Travelers, Liberty Mutual, and Chubb to streamline underwriting and sales, cutting the time spent on a single insurance policy by 75%. Our innovative solutions include: Quote and Bind Platform: Trusted by several of the Top 100 insurance distributors in the US, our platform lets agents generate and purchase business insurance quotes with a single click, saving time and eliminating repetitive paperwork. Carriers also use it to digitally empower their appointed agencies. Embedded Commercial Product: This allows partners like Walmart, Gusto, and Uber to offer business insurance directly through their platforms using our API. It also integrates with other Agency Management Systems to enhance their quote and binding capabilities. We're positioned to be the central API for insurance distribution, much like how Plaid has transformed banking. Whether through our user-friendly web platform or our powerful API, CoverForce is here to make insurance purchasing easy, digital and efficient. Join us and be part of a team that's dedicated to innovation and excellence. We are headquartered in New York City and have our engineering team based in India. The Opportunity As a Frontend Engineer at CoverForce, you will design and implement the core front-end web application of the CoverForce platform — onboarding flows, authentication, and the quote/bind/pay experience, including complex, dynamic forms across multiple insurance carriers. You will build core libraries and components that power different web applications depending on customer type (business vs. consumer), and you'll help shape decisions on API structure, front-end architecture, and UI/UX as we scale a complex front-end system. This role is a perfect fit for an engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments looking to build a product from the ground up. You will have the opportunity to take ownership and wear many hats as you develop the product. As an early engineer, you'll impact product development, system architecture, engineering culture, and more. You will work across the stack building out our centralized API and the front-end portal. We use ReactJS, Ant Design, NodeJS, NestJS, MongoDB, Docker, and JavaScript/TypeScript on AWS. Our product was inspired by talking with hundreds of agents and identifying the critical pain points in the quote, bind, and payment process. We see our solution scaling to independent agencies, agency management systems, and corporate customers. Tasks will include: Develop core UI components and libraries — identify and build re-usable components that are configurable across multiple front-end experiences. Design, recommend, and implement UI/UX best practices — research and apply patterns like responsive design and performance optimization. Identify and drive AI-based improvements — bring AI-assisted tooling and workflows into the front-end codebase and development process to boost velocity and quality. Proactively identify opportunities to improve the quality, stability, and scalability of our systems. Conduct code reviews and provide helpful feedback that maintains our high code quality. Collaborate cross-functionally to solve business problems and support our rapid growth. What We're Looking For We are looking for a strong, independent Frontend Engineer who would like to work in a fast-paced environment with lots of responsibility and scale. Ideal candidates will have prior startup experience and the ability to build systems from scratch. To succeed in this role, you have: Strong ownership mentality — you take initiative, see projects through from start to finish, and treat the codebase and product as if you built the company yourself. Exceptional communication skills — you can clearly articulate technical problems, propose solutions, and collaborate effectively across teams. You understand that in a startup, clear proactive communication is as important as clean code. Intellectual curiosity and learning agility — you're excited to dive into unfamiliar territory, whether it's insurance domain knowledge, a new carrier's API, or an emerging technology. You ask questions, seek to understand the "why," and continuously expand your skill set. Comfort with ambiguity — you thrive in environments where requirements evolve, and you can navigate complex systems that require deep domain context. Pragmatic approach to AI tooling — you actively leverage and experiment with the latest AI development tools (like Cursor, Claude, Codex) to accelerate your work and aren't afraid to build on top of LLM APIs to solve business problems. Quality-focused craftsmanship — you take pride in writing clean, maintainable code and understand that good testing empowers rather than burdens the team. 3+ years of production software development experience , with proven work in frontend systems (ReactJS, RESTful APIs, mono-repo) and production experience with NestJS. Nice to have, but not essential: Previous startup experience and understanding of the rapid pace and evolving priorities. Production experience with our tech stack: ReactJS, Ant Design, NestJS, TypeScript. What CoverForce Offers CoverForce has been a remote-first company in India since its inception and will always strive to be flexible to employees' preferences. We know how to cultivate a successful and highly collaborative environment despite the distance. This includes: Quarterly virtual events to connect with your team members while celebrating our success and accomplishments. Clear norms and etiquette around virtual meetings. Team building activities every month to let off steam and relax. We offer competitive compensation packages.
