The Specialist Software Engineer on the Commercial A-Team will focus on integration applications that enable policy transaction processing, downstream data movement, and operational support across Commercial Lines. This role will primarily support two integration domains: ACE (App Connect Enterprise) and CL ETL Batch. In ACE, the engineer will work on application and service integration, message routing, security, deployment, configuration, and data transformation between upstream and downstream systems. In CL ETL Batch, the engineer will support the pipeline that takes PolicyCenter transaction data through IDS/Oracle-based processing and transforms it into files, feeds, and reporting outputs used by downstream systems, vendors, and bureaus.

Primary focus areas

• Design, enhance, and support ACE integrations that connect PolicyCenter and other services through secure APIs, message routing, and payload transformation.

• Build and maintain ACE flows that obtain authentication tokens, invoke REST services, construct request payloads, apply field mappings, and return transformed responses to upstream applications.

• Support CL ETL Batch processing that consumes PolicyCenter transaction data from IDS Oracle after IIB/ACE processing and creates downstream extracts and statistical records.

• Deliver and support integrations and data feeds for business and regulatory consumers including Billing, Commissions, General Ledger, ISO/TICO, HSB, ISO/Verisk, WC PICS/Unit Stat, print, inforce, ECIF, AMI, SaRA, and PAM.
