Remote Full-stack engineer
Description:
At Feather, we are making insurance honest, transparent, and simple. We do this by building products that are easy to use and understand, and they are being used by thousands of happy customers every day.
We are looking for a full-stack engineer to join our product team. In this role, you'll be working alongside talented developers, product managers, and designers from around the world.
You will contribute across all of our technical stack — from frontend, to backend, to data and infrastructure — and help us launch new products throughout Europe.
We're small, lean, and we love what we do.
The usual buzzwords here, except we actually mean them. Staying small helps us focus on what matters, and we want to keep it that way.
A modern tech stack to work with.
We use TypeScript with
NestJS,
Prisma
and React. Our CI/CD runs on GitHub actions, and the code is deployed to GCP with Docker and
Terraform .
You'll work on a product that is loved by customers.
Our excellent
Trustpilot
and
reviews speak for themselves.
There's plenty of space to grow.
We trust you to take ownership and make decisions from day one, and we will give you all the support and mentorship you need to succeed.
You'll have the freedom to explore and innovate.
Our regular
hack days
let you experiment with new technologies and ideas. In fact, our design system
Dirty Swan
and several other internal tools were once a hack day project.
Unique company perks.
We offer a remote-first work environment (EU-only), yearly education and home-office budgets, regular company retreats and dinners, and an option to take a sabbatical to recharge or pursue personal goals.
Above all, we value excellent communication and self-management. At Feather, you'll be trusted with significant responsibility early on and will wear many hats. We're looking for engineers with a strong product mindset who are comfortable diving into product work beyond just coding.
If you thrive in environments with a fair degree of uncertainty and enjoy shaping both the "what" and the "how" of building products, you'll fit right in. But if you prefer a traditional setup where engineers focus solely on writing code while PMs handle the rest, Feather might not be the right place for you.
Of course, your tech skills are still most important, and here is the baseline:
You've built full-stack applications with React and node.js, backed by a SQL database.
You have an eye for design, care about accessibility and are comfortable contributing to our design system
Dirty Swan .
You can write clean, maintainable, and reusable code and make design decisions regarding the architecture.
You have a good understanding of how modern codebases are maintained and deployed – containers, VMs, CI/CD, testing.
But that's it. We don't expect you to know everything about the latest hype architecture or framework that the internet is raving about. Quite the opposite—we would prefer someone curious but practical, who can pick the right, often boring, tool for the job.
We don't care about degrees or formal years of experience as a software developer. We encourage people who switched to engineering late in their careers to join. If you enjoy the challenge and can learn fast, the team will provide you with every bit of support you need.In 2025, we aim to expand our insurance products and customer base across the EU while keeping our team intentionally lean, focused and pragmatic.
In a nutshell, you will work on product features in a highly collaborative, small team. There will be lots of hands-on coding, but that's only a part of the job. We expect you to contribute beyond the codebase, to get involved in shaping the projects on our roadmap, and to lead projects early on.
This role is full-stack, and you'll face a wide variety of challenging problems that will push you to grow and excel. From day one, you'll ship code to production, and over time, you'll explore every corner of our product. Here's a glimpse of what you'll work on:
Scale and optimize our React SPA, improving performance for daily users.
Work on a signup flow builder to support rapid launches in new countries.
Enhance UI/UX, accessibility, and our design system,
Dirty Swan .
Automate policy management backend jobs with
Temporal .
Collaborate across teams: data, marketing, customer support, and insurance.
Introduce new payment methods to our
Stripe -backed checkout screen.
Manage our serverless GCP infra with
Terraform
and Docker.
Experiment with low-code tools like
customer.io,
Tally
and
n8n .
Develop robust REST APIs with NestJS, Prisma and PostgreSQL.
Streamline the customer support work in a GraphQL/React admin panel.
Propose architectural changes using our
RFC process .
Improve claims, notifications and auth in our iOS/Android
Expo
apps.
Integrate out
Next.js
marketing website with a self-hosted
Strapi CMS .
Bring your own ideas to life during our regular
hack days .
Introduction call.
We'll have a chat over Google Meet, ask you a few questions about your past experience, and talk shortly about projects you've worked on (30 min).
Technical interview.
In another video call, we'll ask you questions relevant to the job description. This would be a mix of theoretical and practical questions. We promise, there won't be any puzzles! (30-45 min).
Live coding session.
At this stage, you'll have a pair programming session with one or two engineers from our team. This will help us understand how you think and collaborate (2h).
Chat with the founders.
We'd like to know more about you! This will also be a great time for you to ask any questions about the company (30min).
Offer.
We're huge advocates for diversity and inclusion. From LGBTQ+ events to open discussions about eliminating bias, we highly encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply.
We also encourage people without degrees to apply: we believe that what you've worked on and achieved is way more important than on-paper qualifications.
