Senior Frontend Developer

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 this role focuses on the Carrier Portal, a project built about six months ago featuring a fresh tech stack and a clean, independent frontend/backend architecture. It’s the perfect move if you want to switch from a software house to a product team. The project is only six months old, so instead of fighting years of legacy code, you get a clean slate, a small team, and a real say in how things are built.

In this position, you will shape how insurance carrier data is structured, processed, and ultimately delivered to end-users to provide actionable insights on agency performance, sales, inquiries, and geographic activity. What is more, you will participate in a dynamic discovery flow—implementing POC (Proof of Concept) projects to validate the direction in which our product should further develop.
Our team operates in a highly dynamic, startup-like environment where priorities shift quickly based on customer needs.

If you are a Senior Engineer who thrives on autonomy, high ownership, and driving product impact, you’ve come to the right place! 🚀

What You’ll Do:

• Evolve Frontend Architecture: Manage, scale, and mature a fresh tech stack with a clean, independent frontend/backend structure.
• Drive Product Ownership: Take full end-to-end ownership of POC projects.
• Build Shared Component Library: Build and maintain a shared component library used across multiple projects, ensuring meticulous attention to detail so updates do not break functionality for other teams.
• Deliver Actionable Insights: Shape how insurance carrier data is structured, processed, and presented to deliver clear insights on agency performance, sales, and geographic activity.
• Balance Speed and Quality: Execute within fast-paced, two-week end-to-end discovery cycles, standard delivery pipelines, and Proof of Concepts (PoCs).
• Foster High Autonomy: Work independently without the need for hand-holding, taking full responsibility for your code and architectural decisions.

What You Bring: 

• Minimum of 6 years of experience in frontend development.
• At least 4 years of hands-on experience working with React.
• Strong product mindset with a deep sense of ownership and autonomy.
• Proficiency in modern JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Familiarity with foundational tools, including Git, Docker, frontend tooling, and build bundlers.
• Strong architectural focus, with the ability to actively engage in discussions and decisions.
• Continuous learning mindset, showing readiness to expand your skillset as required by the product.
• Experience or willingness to work with Node.js and server-side development (to support the process).
• Ability to leverage AI-assisted development tools to boost productivity and streamline coding workflows.
• You are based in Poland and have a good command of both Polish and English (written and spoken).

You’ll get extra points for:

• Track record of leading projects end-to-end as an owner.
