About Dyad

Dyad is a provider of comprehensive property and casualty insurance processing and distribution solutions that empower and connect agents, brokers, wholesalers, MGAs/MGUs, program administrators, carriers, and policyholders. Dyad’s software and service solutions drive efficient insurance processing, superior customer service, and insightful business management.

The Engineering team plays a central role in this transformation, partnering with Product, QA, PMO, and Customer Success to deliver high-quality SaaS and custom solutions that enable our clients to focus on evolving their business.

About the Role

Individuals in this role are responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining both new and existing (often legacy) applications. Much of the initial work will involve enhancing, modernizing, and refactoring older codebases while also contributing to the design and development of new systems.

Newer applications are built using modern Microsoft technologies and frameworks as well as Angular. Legacy applications have been built using a variety of previous-generation Microsoft technologies and frameworks. One of the key focuses for this role will be to steadily reduce technical debt and improve stability while innovating at the same time.

This role is ideal for engineers who take satisfaction in improving and extending complex, existing systems—making them more robust, maintainable, and future-ready. It requires strong technical expertise, great attention to detail, deep familiarity with the Microsoft stack, comfort with ambiguity, and excellent written and verbal communication skills.

The person in this role will:

  • Provide immediate leadership in terms of modern software development methods and practices
  • Write code 50-75% of the time across a mix of modern and legacy Microsoft frameworks, tools, and codebases
  • Partner with Product Management and the Director of Engineering to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
  • Apply a cloud-first perspective to the code and architecture, ensuring that solutions support cost efficiency, maintainability, scalability, and deployability.
  • Work closely with QA to ensure code quality, test coverage, and defect resolution.
  • Support Customer Success by addressing technical issues impacting client delivery

This role directly contributes to Dyad’s mission of delivering reliable, innovative solutions with measurable impact.
