Engineering engagements.
Senior engineers working inside product and engineering teams at international insurance and financial services companies.
The Lab's advisory practice takes two forms. Diagnostic engagements apply the Lab's research instruments to an organization's AI configuration. Engineering engagements put senior engineers to work alongside client teams on the systems those organizations run on: backend platforms, integration layers, and identity. The second grows out of the first. The Lab studies how people, technology, and institutions reshape each other, and the engineers we work with build in exactly that territory, where a new channel, an AI-driven interface, or a new way of signing in changes the platform beneath it. We look for engineers who read a system before changing it.
Small, senior, and embedded. Engineering inside the client's own environment.
We support product and engineering teams at international insurance companies and in financial services more broadly. Engineers join existing teams, work on clearly scoped problems, and take real ownership of what they build. The work is remote and async-first, with defined points of overlap for design reviews and planning.
Clear problems, real ownership.
Engagements are hands-on and well defined. Engineers coordinate with a technical lead on architecture and priorities, and keep autonomy over how they plan and implement their work.
Inside the client's environment.
We work inside our clients' secure environments and follow their security procedures. The Lab has a documented Information Security Policy that all personnel acknowledge.
Discretion by default.
Every engagement runs under signed confidentiality and intellectual-property terms. The work belongs to the client, so we describe our skills and sectors, never our clients or what we built for them.
Part of the Lab's advisory practice. The Configurations Lab works through research, convening, and advisory. Engineering engagements sit under advisory, next to the Lab's diagnostic work on organizational AI configurations. For research collaboration, see working with the Lab.
Two senior engineering roles. Both in Go, both remote.
Both roles are independent contractor engagements with The Configurations Lab LLC, for product and engineering teams in the insurance sector. Candidates based in Colombia are our first focus, and we also consider candidates in other Latin American countries.
Senior Software Engineer. Integration Platform.
Build the services and integration patterns that connect AI-driven channels, such as conversational agents and partner-facing APIs, to a large-scale insurance platform. You join a small, focused team and coordinate with a technical lead on architecture, scope, and priorities. The work combines new API design with pragmatic integration of existing backend systems.
Senior Software Engineer. Identity & Access Management.
Design and operate the identity services a whole engineering organization depends on: single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, session management, and federation, built for high throughput and low latency. You become the reference point other teams turn to when they integrate securely with the identity platform. The work combines new service design with the steady evolution of established identity infrastructure.
How the engagement works. Stated plainly, before you apply.
Independent contractor (B2B)
This is a services engagement with The Configurations Lab LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, not employment. You provide services through your own company or as an independent professional, and invoice for your work.
Your own taxes and contributions
You remain responsible for your own local taxes, social-security and statutory contributions, and equipment.
Monthly fee in USD
A competitive monthly fee in USD, aligned with senior-level experience and invoiced under an independent services agreement. Share your expectation when you apply and we will confirm the figure before contracting.
Contracting comes first
Work starts once a signed agreement is in place, including confidentiality, intellectual-property assignment, and data-deletion terms, and the Lab's Information Security Policy has been acknowledged. Start dates are confirmed once contracting is complete.
If this resonates with how you work, we would be glad to hear from you.

Location and rate
Tell us your country and city of residence, so we can confirm time-zone overlap, and your expected monthly fee in USD for a full-time engagement. A few lines on the work you are proudest of are welcome too.
Conversation
Shortlisted candidates are invited to a conversation and a technical discussion. We aim to reply to every application.
Please send only what an application needs: your CV, location, expected monthly fee, and contact details. Do not include identity-document numbers, photos, or other sensitive personal data. How we handle applicant information is described in our privacy notice.
