Job description

We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer to help build the operating system for the next generation of insurance. This isn't feature work on a mature product - it's foundational engineering where your code ships to production and generates business value the same week you write it.

You'll own the full stack: interfaces our team and clients use, backend systems powering quoting and policy management, and the AI layer that automates what used to take hours. You'll work directly with leadership - no committees, no approval chains.

What You'll Do

  • Build and own features end-to-end, from UI to database to deployment
  • Design internal tools, automations, and AI workflows that eliminate manual processes
  • Integrate with carrier APIs, agency management systems (Applied Epic), and payment platforms
  • Shape technical architecture and engineering culture from the ground up
  • Ship meaningful features in days, not months

Requirements

  • You're a technical generalist comfortable across frontend, backend, and infrastructure
  • You've shipped production code real users depend on
  • You use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude, Copilot) to move faster, not as a crutch
  • You think in outcomes: "cut placement time 40%" not "refactored the module"
  • You have 2-6 years of software engineering experience, * 2+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong Python or TypeScript; you pick up new tools fast
  • Experience with React/Next.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL (or similar)
  • Can own features from concept to production independently
  • US-based

Nice to Have

  • LLMs, AI agents, or workflow automation in production
  • Insurance, fintech, or regulated-industry experience
  • Prior startup experience
  • API integration experience with third-party platforms

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive salary + equity
  • Health, dental, and vision
  • Flexible PTO
  • Small, high-caliber team with immediate, visible impact
  • Ground-floor opportunity in one of the largest underserved markets in the world
