Grow Your Skills, Grow Your Potential
Responsibilities

The Agent Office Identification (AOI) team builds the technology that connects State Farm customers with their agents — the Agent Locator, Agent Search, agent microsites, and the APIs that power them. If you've ever searched for a State Farm agent online or visited an agent web page, you've used something our team built.

As an engineer here, you'll own solutions from concept through production — not just write code to a spec. You'll work directly with product, business partners, analytics, UX, and other engineers to figure out what's broken, shape the fix, and ship it. You'll have real input into technical decisions early in your career, not just once you're senior.

Our platform runs on AWS and Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA). Right now, we're modernizing legacy systems into reusable services, strengthening data quality and security, and using AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot, Codex to build faster and better. You'll be learning modern cloud-native engineering practices from engineers who are actively modernizing a platform that touches millions of customer interactions — not maintaining something static.

If you want to grow fast, take real ownership early, and see your code affect how customers actually find and connect with an agent, this is that role.

What we're looking for: 2-3 years of professional software development experience, or a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field plus relevant internship/project experience.
