Software Developer (12 Month Term)

About RivalRival Insurance Technology is a Canadian insurtech company building Canada's next-generation insurance platform. We are modernizing how brokers run their business while building AI-native capabilities that belong in a regulated environment. We are remote-first, move fast, and take technical quality seriously.
The RoleWe are looking for an Intermediate Full Stack Developer to join our engineering team. You bring around 4 years of hands‑on experience building production software, are comfortable across the stack in C# and modern front‑end frameworks, and are ready to take real ownership of features end‑to‑end. This position is a 12 month contract role.
This is not a checkbox role. You will work on meaningful problems, collaborate with a small and capable team, and have visible impact on a platform used by insurance brokers across Canada. AI is not a supplement to how we work here -- it is central to how we build, ship, and improve software every day.
What You Will DoAI-Native & Agentic Development
Work with Claude Code and GitHub Copilot as standard parts of your daily development workflow -- not as supplements, but as core tools that shape how you write, review, and ship code
Build and work with agentic AI workflows -- using tools that plan, reason, and act across multi‑step tasks -- and understand how to scope, prompt, and supervise agents effectively in a development context
Use AI tooling to accelerate code generation, refactoring, documentation, and test coverage, and know how to critically review and validate AI-generated output before it ships
Contribute to a team culture where AI fluency raises the collective bar, sharing effective prompting approaches, agentic patterns, and what actually works in practice
Full Stack Development
Build, maintain, and improve front‑end interfaces and back‑end services using C#, ASP.NET, and Azure‑hosted infrastructure
Design and implement RESTful APIs and support integration with internal systems and third‑party services
Participate in the full software development lifecycle from design through deployment and post‑release support
Write clean, testable, well‑documented code with attention to performance and reliability
Quality & Testing
Write and maintain unit and integration tests as a standard part of delivery
Support code reviews and contribute constructive, actionable feedback
Debug and resolve issues across the stack with a systematic, evidence‑based approach
Collaboration & Delivery
Work in an Agile environment, contributing actively to sprint planning, refinement, and retrospectives
Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and technical leads to deliver outcomes, not just outputs
Surface blockers and risks early and communicate clearly about progress and scope
What You BringExperience & Technical Skills
Approximately 4 years of experience in full stack software development in production environments
Strong proficiency in C# and ASP.NET for back‑end development
Solid front‑end skills in a modern framework (React, Angular, or equivalent)
Experience working with Microsoft Azure and Azure DevOps
Familiarity with cloud‑hosted services, microservices concepts, and API design
Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and Git‑based workflows
Comfortable writing and reviewing unit and integration tests
Demonstrated, hands‑on fluency with AI development tools -- specifically Claude Code and GitHub Copilot -- in a production or meaningful project context
Practical experience with agentic AI workflows: prompting, scoping tasks for agents, and validating agent output before it reaches production
Ways of Working
Reliable and delivery‑focused with a high standard for the quality of your own work
Clear communicator who flags issues early and asks good questions
Curious and growth‑oriented -- you want to get better and you take feedback well
Collaborative without being dependent -- you can work independently and know when to involve others
Nice to Have
Experience in insurance, financial services, or other regulated industries
Exposure to containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, or AKS)
Familiarity with observability tooling (logging, metrics, distributed tracing)
Experience with event‑driven architectures or messaging platforms
Why Join Rival
Remote‑first across Canada with a team that trusts you to do the work
Meaningful technical problems on a platform that is actively evolving
A small enough team that your contributions are visible and your voice is heard
A culture that values accountability, continuous improvement, and doing things right
