Root Insurance (https://www.joinroot.com) | Senior Software Engineer | Fully Remote (HQ in Columbus, OH; occasional on-sites with provided travel)

Root uses technology to reimagine auto insurance — better pricing, better experience. Our engineering team builds a flexible platform where product designers and quantitative scientists can rapidly test, deploy, and iterate.

The Partner Activation team is hiring a Senior Software Engineer experienced with Ruby on Rails and API design in an enterprise setting. We power Root's embedded partnerships (Carvana, Experian, Toyota, Hyundai, and more) and you can see more of what we build here: https://root-bind-api.readme.io

This team sits at the intersection of multiple internal teams and external partners, mostly working on greenfield projects that bring modern tooling to legacy integrators. As the team's scope has grown, we're adding a dedicated engineer to own this work long-term. You'll coordinate across teams and with non-engineers regularly, so clear communication matters as much as technical chops. We're also exploring AI for integration-facing products (external dashboards, support tools, intake management) to reduce manual engineering overhead in our growth pipeline.

Open roles:

- Senior Software Engineer: https://ats.rippling.com/joinroot/jobs/125eb9e1-6121-4455-8b...

- Technical Services Engineer (partner-facing, non-IC): https://ats.rippling.com/joinroot/jobs/0e51f79d-07ef-47cf-93...

The Arazzo specification[0] (from OpenAPI contributors) aims to solve the dependent arguments issue by introducing the concept of a "runtime expressions"[1] within a series of independent tool calls which compose a workflow.

I would agree. Interest rate hikes generally take a while to actually work through the economy. This current hiking cycle is the fastest we've raised rates, especially considering the interest payments required for our debt. I don't think it'll be a soft landing.

He was also a guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast not too long ago if anyone’s interested.

I’ve been following a keto diet for some time now and still learned a lot from Peter’s discussion with Joe.

Subscriptions are available through the ‘absinthe_phoenix’ (https://github.com/absinthe-graphql/absinthe_phoenix) library as an add-on to the Phoenix Framework’s channels. It’s a pretty robust solution and its maintainers Ben & Bruce are very helpful on Slack.
