Job description
You'll work closely with the founders and early engineers to build core product systems from the ground up.
- Build and ship backend systems (APIs, services, data models)
- Develop AI-powered workflows that replace manual operations
- Integrate with external systems (carrier tools, documents, communication layers)
- Build automation pipelines using LLMs and modern AI tooling
- Work on asynchronous systems (queues, workers, long-running tasks)
- Ship quickly - from idea production in days, not months
You won't just be handed tickets - you'll be expected to understand problems deeply and help shape solutions.
Requirements
- 2-5 years of experience building production systems
- Strong backend fundamentals (we use Python)
- Comfortable working with APIs, databases, and cloud environments
- Ability to learn quickly and operate in a fast-moving environment
- Experience or strong interest in modern AI systems (LLMs, RAG, agents)
- Solid engineering fundamentals (debugging, data modeling, system design)
- Good product instincts - you care about what you're building and why
Bonus:
- Experience with asynchronous systems (Celery, Redis, cron jobs)
- Production experience with LLM-based applications or automation workflows
- Familiarity with fintech, insurance, or regulated environments
We care more about how you think and learn than the exact tools you've used.
Technical Stack
Python (Django/DRF, FastAPI), React/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, AWS, Gemini/OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, Pydantic AI/LangChain, Docker
You don't need experience with everything here, but you should be comfortable working in production systems and picking up new tools quickly.
