The Role at a Glance

This role is for a hands-on Senior Software Engineer (Java-focused primarily) to join Lincoln’s emerging Employer Benefits & Insurance Technology (InsurTech) team. The Workplace Solutions department provides insurance products and services to group/employer customers that reach millions of employee benefit plans across the United States. The InsurTech development team is tasked with modernizing connectivity to external partner platforms via real-time APIs – an initiative that is one of the top strategic priorities for the organization. 

Candidate for this role will provide key contributions to the development of exchanging activity/data between internal systems of record (including Admin, Policy, Claims systems, etc) and partner platforms (including Workday, ADP, Plansource, etc).

The InsurTech team is established, working within an Agile framework, but still in the early stages of scaling and operationalizing the solution – representing plenty of opportunity to contribute and influence. 

The new capabilities delivered by this role/team will be leveraged to enhance the experience of Lincoln’s commercial customers as well as their employees, and lead to improved sales opportunities and retention. This represents a significant and direct impact to Lincoln Financial’s position in the marketplace driven by technical capabilities.
