Insurance domain experience must
LinkedIn with location

Internal notes:
Experience Level: Senior. The client needs someone who already has the experience to hit the ground running (they felt a previous candidate, needed more time to reach this level).
Working Style: Highly self-sufficient and hands-on. While they will drive the team forward, this is an individual contributor role, not a formal lead.

Technical Stack
MUST- Back end Java Required: Must have strong skills in Java (backend) and AI

PLUS/preferred-React (frontend).
Engineering Fundamentals: Must have a strong grasp of design patterns, the ability to take specifications and deliver a finished product, and the engineering maturity to evaluate the quality of AI-generated code.

AI Expertise
Mandatory AI Skills: The candidate must come in with existing AI development experience (specifically mentioning Claude or similar tools).
Why it's crucial: The client has limited resources and AI licenses, so they cannot afford the overhead of training someone on AI from scratch. The engineer's job will be to help build out the company's AI competency.
