Who you'll join


An early-stage AI startup building a domain-specific platform for the insurance industry. The product automates manual workflows so insurance agencies and brokerages can focus on higher-value work. You will join a team of five engineers at a moment of real traction, with customers ranging from independent agencies to enterprise-level brokerages.


What you'll do


  1. Build and refine autonomous digital workers that automate insurance workflows end-to-end.
  2. Design, implement, and ship features across the full stack, from UI to infrastructure.
  3. Write backend APIs and services that power core platform functionality.
  4. Strengthen infrastructure across asynchronous processing, observability, and AI compute.
  5. Work directly with customers to understand their processes and deliver tailored solutions.
  6. Collaborate with the go-to-market team to break down requirements and shape the roadmap.
  7. Own decisions end-to-end and get working software into customers' hands fast.


Who you are


  1. Bring 3 or more years of software engineering experience, ideally in a startup environment.
  2. Solve complex problems by breaking them into smaller, manageable parts.
  3. Take full ownership of your work without waiting to be told what to do next.
  4. Ship across the stack; you go wherever the feature needs you.
  5. Communicate clearly with non-engineers and work well in a cross-functional team.
  6. Demonstrate spikes, strong GitHub contributions, personal projects, or early-stage startup experience.
  7. Bonus: have worked with AI or LLM systems, async processing pipelines, or observability tooling.


Tech stack


React, TypeScript, Golang, REST APIs, AI/LLM integrations, asynchronous processing, observability tools


Why you'll thrive


  1. Join as one of the first eight engineers and shape how the platform is built.
  2. Work directly under a CTO who built systems at Stripe, with real mentorship available.
  3. Own meaningful parts of the codebase from your first weeks on the job.
  4. Earn competitive equity in a well-backed company operating in a trillion-dollar market.
  5. Ship code that changes how thousands of insurance professionals work every day.
