Job Description

We are looking for a Staff or Principal Software Engineer to own the end-to-end technical architecture for one or more Chubb Life markets. This is a senior individual contributor role — at the same technical level as a Technical Lead — who writes production code, raises engineering standards, and drives measurable improvements in how we build and operate software.
The systems you'll work on serve millions of insurance customers and thousands of agents across Asia. You'll design and ship customer-facing policy and claims applications, agent and broker portals, payment gateway integrations, regulatory and partner reporting systems, and the middleware and APIs that connect them. Our stack is primarily Java and JavaScript (Node / Angular / React). We care about engineering depth, not a specific language — and we want someone who can mentor other engineers and raise the bar for the whole team.
About Our Team
Chubb is an internationally recognized global provider of insurance products, including property and casualty, accident and health, reinsurance, and life insurance. We are building a dynamic tech team that will drive the future of insurance. Our goal is to create a seamless connection between customers, agents, and partners across the entire insurance product lifecycle. We operate as a flat organization and place immense value on innovative ideas, technical expertise, attention to detail, and personal initiative.
