Cortes 23 Remote
Software Engineer

Cortes 23 enables life insurance carriers to concentrate on what they do best—managing risk—by delivering a modern, fully integrated technology platform that replaces legacy systems. Our approach gives carriers seamless access to distribution sourcing, product creation, and platform coordination, all embedded directly within consumer premiums. The result is greater operational efficiency, stronger premium growth, and a better experience for both carriers and agents.  

Our Culture & Values 

At Cortes 23, we build our culture on trust, openness, and respect. We believe strong companies are formed through meaningful collaboration—driven by shared objectives and the willingness to support one another through both wins and challenges. 

We practice Radical Candor, encouraging honest, timely feedback across all levels of the organization. Our leadership philosophy blends autonomy with accountability: teams are empowered to take ownership, make decisions, and solve problems independently within a decentralized structure. 

We see mistakes as a natural part of learning and growth, favoring action and experimentation over hesitation. While we value commitment and effort, we prioritize your health and well-being—results matter more than hours logged. 

Excellence is a standard we uphold by placing the right people in the right roles, providing continuous feedback, and maintaining high performance expectations. We address conflict directly and constructively, fostering open communication and transparency across teams. 

At Cortes 23, ego has no place. Inspired by Navy SEAL after-action reviews, we focus on outcomes, shared learning, and continuous improvement—always aligned with the mission. 

Join our fully remote, fast-moving team and be part of a workplace committed to your growth, impact, and long-term success.

About the Role 

We’re seeking a full-stack software engineer who enjoys building features end-to-end. You’ll work closely with our CTO and contribute across our React/Next.js frontend and TypeScript backend, shipping real features into production. From time to time, you’ll also work with Python to support data integrations with partner systems.  

What You’ll Do 

  • Build and ship new features end-to-end using React, TypeScript, and Next.js—from data layer to user interface.

  • Work with clear, well-defined requirements so you can focus on building, not deciphering ambiguity.

  • Extend and reuse existing components to maintain consistency and code quality.

  • Write tests and uphold high standards for clean, reliable, and maintainable code.

  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines to support smooth, repeatable production deployments.

What We’re Looking For
 

  • 3–5+ years of professional software engineering experience.

  • Strong hands-on experience with React and TypeScript, including modern tooling and patterns.

  • Practical experience with Next.js, including routing and data fetching.

  • Familiarity with CI/CD workflows and deploying applications to production.

  • A track record of owning features from development through release.

  • Clear communication skills and a builder mindset—you enjoy turning specifications into working products.

Nice to Have
 

  • Experience with serverless or cloud-native architectures.

  • Experience working within JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos.

  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and deployment automation tools.

  • Experience with Pulumi (SST) and event-driven systems.

  • Working knowledge of Python and data pipeline development.

What You’ll Get
 

  • Fully remote work, permanently.

  • Relaxed, supportive work culture.

  • Opportunity to collaborate with a growing, international team.

Interview Process
 

  • Introductory call (20 minutes)

  • Technical interview (1 hour)

  • Team conversations (15 minutes per team member)
