Direct surety and business insurance with instant online policy issuance
Colonial Surety is a 1930-founded direct insurer operating a lean 11–50-person org anchored on product and engineering (5 hires combined, mostly senior-level). The tech stack—Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python paired with Selenium, WebdriverIO, JUnit, TestNG, and a CI/CD backbone of Jenkins, Bamboo, and GitHub Actions—reflects a QA-heavy, test-driven build culture typical of financial-services platforms handling bonds and liability policies. Current pain points (rapid product rollout, competing priorities, requirements-gathering friction) signal velocity strain on a small team scaling digital distribution.
Colonial Surety offers surety bonds, fidelity bonds, and business liability insurance (cyber, EPLI, professional liability) sold directly to business owners, attorneys, pension professionals, and insurance agents across all 50 U.S. states and territories. The company operates a digital-first model with instant online policy issuance and a streamlined purchase process. Founded in 1930 and Treasury-listed, the firm positions itself on regulatory approval, AM Best rating (A Excellent), and decades of customer-service expertise. Recent project focus includes smart form digitization, strategic efficiency improvements, and accelerated product rollouts—all managed by a small, senior-weighted team.
Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python for development; Selenium, WebdriverIO, JUnit, TestNG, Pytest for QA; Jenkins, Bamboo, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines for CI/CD; JFrog and Nexus for artifact management.
