Fullstack Engineer (Poland, Remote)

About First Connect:

First Connect Insurance Services is a digital marketplace providing independent insurance agents access to top US carriers and the optionality necessary to grow their businesses. Agents can work with 150+ carriers, selling various insurance policies, including home, auto, small business, and more. We're on a mission to overhaul the technology agents have access to, putting consumer-grade software at their fingertips. We've got thousands of active agents with hundreds joining monthly, and we plan to accelerate our growth.

Role Overview:

The core of our business revolves around retrieving and processing vast amounts of insurance carrier data. This isn't just about moving numbers — this data enables our most critical platform features and powers the entire agency commission cycle. You'll join a team that cares as much about _why_ we're building something as _how_ we build it.

We're looking for an engineer who can connect the dots between the data we process and the business outcomes it drives — someone who understands agent and carrier needs well enough to help shape the right solution, not just implement a spec.

You'll contribute to key data domains that power our core business, working comfortably with diverse data structures, real-time systems, and varying data quality. You'll also take part in a dynamic discovery flow — building POCs to validate the direction our product should take next. Our team operates in a highly dynamic, startup-like environment where priorities shift quickly based on customer needs.

This is a backend-leaning fullstack role: most of your day-to-day will live in data pipelines, integrations, and systems logic, with lighter, supporting exposure to the frontend.

What You'll Do:

In this role, you will contribute to:

• Real-Time Data integrations and Commission systems, with your main focus on the backend/data layer — frontend exposure here is secondary, mostly around how that data gets presented.
• Incentive programs, including our Rewards Program (Shared Growth Plan) and other new initiatives as they evolve.
• Existing data pipelines across backend and frontend systems, supporting improvements, maintenance, and incremental development where needed.
• Integrating and working with multiple data sources: build and maintain integrations with external systems, ensuring data consistency and reliability across pipelines.
• Bringing a product mindset to your work: thinking about how the data and systems you build ultimately serve agents, carriers, and business goals — not just solving the technical problem in isolation.
• Ensuring engineering quality: writing clean, maintainable code with a strong focus on testing culture.
• Leveraging modern tooling and AI: using AI tools as an active part of your development workflow.

We might be a match, if you:

• have 4+ years of commercial experience as a fullstack developer, with your strength primarily on the backend — you're confident writing NestJS services and PostgreSQL queries; frontend experience is important but doesn't need to be at the same level,
• feel comfortable using Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL,
• think like a product person as much as an engineer: you ask _why_ before _how_ , and you naturally connect your technical decisions to what agents, carriers, and the business actually need,
• have a Startup Mindset: high ownership and the ability to navigate ambiguity. We are looking for people who want to build and grow, not just maintain,
• are based in Poland with flexibility for partial US time zone overlap.
• are fluent in English (C1) and Polish (C1).

You’ll get extra points for:

• Advanced SQL & Optimization: Deep knowledge of PostgreSQL performance tuning, indexing strategies, and handling large-scale datasets.

Our tech-stack:

• TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, React, AWS
• Docker and container-based deployment technologies (e.g. Kubernetes/Fargate)
• Automated software testing on unit/integration/end-to-end levels

Recruitment process:

• Send us your CV and fill out the application form – it's the best way for us to get to know you
• Meet Karolina, our Recruiter for initial interview
• Join a technical interview with our Team Members
• Meet our team for a live coding interview
• Talk with Hiring Manager
• Join [Wojtek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wryczaj/?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAABMQj_IBev4f0-jw0z6SCIE7ymOK-aUKAas) and [Ola](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleksandrabugajska/) for final stage call
