We are driven to do more. More for our customers and the financial professionals who offer our products. If you are driven to do more and love the challenge of pursuing more, Athene is your kind of company. You will find we offer more than the basics to create an inclusive and dynamic work environment at our various locations. Purpose: The Opportunity Vitera is Apollo and Athene's highest-conviction growth channel in retirement income — and we're building the engineering team that will define how it scales. This isn't a maintenance role. You'll be architecting and shipping cloud-native applications at the center of a product that genuinely changes how Americans retire, while helping us reinvent how software gets built in an AI-first world. What Vitera Is Vitera turns retirement savings into guaranteed lifetime income — automatically, flexibly, and simply. No complexity, no fine print, no anxiety. Backed by Apollo, Athene we're setting a new standard for what retirement income can look like: clear, accessible, and built on trust. The engineering you ship here directly determines whether someone spends their retirement with confidence or uncertainty. Accountabilities: What You'll Actually Do You'll build full stack applications and cloud services across a modern, collaborative engineering stack — owning features end to end, from API design through to user-facing UI. But the work goes beyond shipping features. You'll be one of the engineers helping us redefine our agentic AI SDLC — rethinking how we plan, build, test, and deploy software when AI agents are part of the team. This is frontier work. You'll have real influence over how Vitera engineers ship software for years to come. Qualifications and Experience: ## What You Need to Bring - 6+ years of relevant software engineering experience designing and building cloud-native applications using modern JavaScript frameworks, Node.js, React.js, AWS services, and API technologies or relevant experience. - Experience developing secure applications utilizing AWS services (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS, IAM), RESTful and GraphQL APIs, authentication technologies (JWT/OAuth), PostgreSQL databases, and Git-based version control. - Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives, solve complex problems, influence technical decisions, and thrive in Agile development environments while embracing innovation, adaptability, AI-enabled development practices, and continuous learning. - Strong collaboration, communication, and critical thinking skills with the ability to partner effectively across engineering, product, architecture, and business teams while embodying Athene's BEAM values. - Bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
