Software Engineer

About Us- Open for Both Mumbai & Bangalore locations

At Coverfox Group, we’re not just changing how insurance is bought - we’re redefining how protection is built, delivered, and experienced across every corner of India.

Our mission is bold yet deeply rooted: to make insurance simple, affordable, and truly accessible - not just in cities, but in the most remote parts of Bharat. With innovation at our core, we launched India’s first digital insurance brokerage, pioneered the PoSP (Point of Sales Person) model, and enabled some of India’s largest consumer brands to embed insurance effortlessly into their ecosystems. But this is just the beginning.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We believe great engineers do more than write code — they build products. We’re looking for

engineers who combine strong software engineering fundamentals with systems thinking, AI-

assisted development, sound architectural judgment, and the ownership to take ideas from

concept to production.

What Will You Do?

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend systems and APIs using Python and Django.

• Translate product ideas into robust technical solutions, taking features from concept to

production.

• Design clean system architectures, database schemas, and APIs with scalability, reliability,

and maintainability in mind.

• Collaborate with AI to brainstorm solutions, accelerate development, and improve

productivity while applying sound engineering judgment.

• Think through edge cases, performance bottlenecks, security considerations, and failure

scenarios before implementation.

• Build AI-powered features, automate workflows, and experiment with emerging technologies

to create better products.

• Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code, and participate in code reviews to uphold

engineering quality.

• Debug production issues, optimize application performance, and continuously improve

system reliability.

• Work closely with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to deliver high-quality user

experiences.

• Continuously learn, experiment, and contribute ideas that improve our products, engineering

practices, and developer experience.

What Are We Looking For?

• 2–5 years of experience building production-grade backend applications using Python and

Django.

• Strong computer science fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, object-oriented

programming, and software design principles.

• Ability to independently design scalable systems, APIs, database schemas, and backend

architectures with a strong focus on maintainability, performance, and reliability.

• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to identify edge cases, trade-offs, failure

scenarios, and production bottlenecks before implementation.

• Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL/SQL, REST APIs, authentication, caching,

asynchronous processing, and distributed systems concepts.

• Comfortable using AI-powered development tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub

Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.) to accelerate development while critically evaluating AI-generated

code.

• Experience building AI-powered products, LLM integrations, agentic workflows, RAG

pipelines, or AI-assisted developer tooling is a strong advantage.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (preferably AWS), Docker, Linux, CI/CD, Git, and basic

DevOps practices.

• Experience with Redis, Celery, Kafka, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, Nginx, or similar backend

infrastructure is a plus.

• Strong debugging, communication, and collaboration skills, with a high sense of ownership

and accountability.

• Curious to learn continuously, embrace new technologies, and build products with speed,

quality, and customer impact.
