Root Insurance (https://www.joinroot.com) | Senior Software Engineer | Fully Remote (HQ in Columbus, OH; occasional on-sites with provided travel)
About the role
Root uses technology to reimagine auto insurance — better pricing, better experience. Our engineering team builds a flexible platform where product designers and quantitative scientists can rapidly test, deploy, and iterate.
The Partner Activation team is hiring a Senior Software Engineer experienced with Ruby on Rails and API design in an enterprise setting. We power Root's embedded partnerships (Carvana, Experian, Toyota, Hyundai, and more) and you can see more of what we build here: https://root-bind-api.readme.io
This team sits at the intersection of multiple internal teams and external partners, mostly working on greenfield projects that bring modern tooling to legacy integrators. As the team's scope has grown, we're adding a dedicated engineer to own this work long-term. You'll coordinate across teams and with non-engineers regularly, so clear communication matters as much as technical chops. We're also exploring AI for integration-facing products (external dashboards, support tools, intake management) to reduce manual engineering overhead in our growth pipeline.
