Our Mission

We're not your average benefits platform; we're the unordinary force that uplifts people's lives. Our technology is the link that connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers.

Our mission is clear: we're here to create a world where everything operates at its very best, ensuring that every employee receives the support they need to live life to the fullest, both at work and beyond.

Your Mission

As part of our engineering team, you will continue developing the core API layer and business logic in our platform, as well as engaging frontend components that follow the latest UI, UX and accessibility trends.

We’re looking for self-starters who are seeking a fast-paced environment where they can make a difference. Our team is small, which means high autonomy, ownership, and responsibility. We love what we do, have fun and, while we ship on time, take life-work balance seriously.

Things you will be working on…

Design, implement and deliver web application features and projects with full ownership, using your technical expertise
Specifically, implement API endpoints, business logic, complex frontend components and MVPs for our employee benefits management platform
Deliver your implementations from start to finish
Take ownership of business critical components, ensure their stability & maintainability
Collaborate with product stakeholders and other members of the team to scope and estimate optimal solutions for business problems
Ensure that security considerations are taken into account, based on current best practices (e.g. OWASP Top 10, AWS Well-Architected Framework) in all software development and infrastructure projects

Behind the scenes

Our cross-functional delivery team is focused on business goals and solving problems in an efficient manner. We want the team to collaborate on new ideas and projects to find the best solutions.

Ben is built on Python 3, Django, PostgreSQL and React. We run on AWS and follow engineering best practices, with a pragmatic approach.
