ABOUT BESTOW
Bestow is a leading insurance technology platform serving some of the world's largest and most innovative life insurers. We are on a mission to increase financial stability for everyone. Bestow is a team of mission-driven, results-oriented individuals. We offer all employees a remote (contiguous 48 only)/hybrid workplace, meaningful benefits, substantial growth opportunities, and equity.
ABOUT THE TEAM
The engineering team is responsible for all technology for Bestow and the Bestow Platform. We serve employees, consumers, and enterprise customers. In addition to building software, we integrate and manage many third-party products used by employees and as part of the platform. Our major functional teams are product engineering, infrastructure, IT, data and analytics, martech, and program management. Engineering works closely with product management and design to define and prioritize the product roadmap.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This role reports to the Manager of Engineering and is open to (US) Remote (continuous 48 only) #LI-Remote
As a Platform Engineer, you will automate cloud resources, implement developer tooling, and make changes to our products to increase their manageability. You should be able to define the technical design and implement work independently. You should have prior experience with systems administration and cloud service automation.
Bestow engineers are great teammates. You will spend most of your time with the Platform Engineers working on projects laying the cloud's foundation. You will also work directly with Product Engineering teams on their specific needs and build tooling and automation.
Do you want to build products to reinvent a centuries-old industry? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
Challenges on which you can expect to work:
Cloud Infrastructure Projects
We believe that all cloud infrastructure should be treated as code. Modifications go through code review and are executed via CI tools.
Automate cloud infrastructure via tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.
Administer our software platform, which includes Kubernetes, Pulumi Cloud, ArgoCD, CircleCI, and PostgreSQL.
Contribute to projects in languages such as TypeScript, Python, Go, or Bash.
Evaluate, design, and implement solutions for continuous integration, continuous delivery, and DevOps productivity.
Ensure the Reliability of Our Software
Great software is more than product features. It simultaneously considers non-functional concerns like security, maintainability, and extensibility. You are responsible for ensuring:
Collaborate with product engineers to identify observability/configurability gaps and make code-level improvements;
Creating the tooling to improve the developer experience, enabling them to deliver business value faster and more effectively;
Manage runbooks for incident response;
Measure operational performance and make gradual improvements.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
- Proficiency with GCP or other cloud platforms.
- Experience with IaC tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.

- Strong scripting skills in languages such as Python, Bash, or similar.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI.

- Bonus if familiar with using observability platforms such as New Relic or Datadog.
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Strong communication and collaboration abilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
