Team Context
One of the next high-performing teams we are establishing will be responsible for evolving the core integration platform at Aflac. The purpose of the platform is to act as the business-critical glue between our world-class policyholder, agent and partner web and mobile applications and our core data, workflow, and security services and systems. It supports our implementation of an Enterprise Data Model that is enabling us to modernise our underlying systems and software without impact to our web and mobile apps, as well as allowing us to build a new Event Driven Architecture. This enables Aflac to serve customers in near real time and helps our product teams to reimagine the experience for the customer.
The platform is based on a modern microservices architecture using API gateway technologies, Java Spring Boot containerised services, and a focus on migrating the platform to AWS. This platform needs to operate with extreme scalability, reliability and resilience as it is responsible for serving the bulk of API transactions at Aflac.
This team will set out the core technical architecture and engineering best practices for the platform as it moves to cloud and will be critical to the infrastructure and deployment designs to ensure platform maintains a high level of reliability and availability.
The intention is for our teams to continually adapt and reinvent their skills and capabilities over time as technologies change and evolve. We will provide the right challenges and opportunities to enable your success, however we need you to bring your enthusiasm, the ability to learn quickly, and to take minimum-viable-product technology to produce industrialised solutions for the enterprise. Once you have successfully delivered robust and scalable solutions for Aflac, there will be a new technology waiting to be explored and built to scale within our organisation. We’ll be keeping things pretty fresh.
The role
We want a Software Engineer in Test who is passionate about high quality outcomes for the customer and can put the end-user at the centre of their thinking. We will provide you with the opportunity to use the latest technology to serve our customers and sales agents and apply your skills as part of our exciting new and existing team.
