Nice to Haves * Experience in regulated industries (healthcare, fintech, etc.) * Strong sense of design and attention to UI detail ## Description We're looking for Principal Software Engineers to help build the systems that power an AI-native insurance company. Insurance operations are sprawling: underwriting, claims, premium finance, broker operations, member support, care navigation, and more. Most companies run these functions through fragmented vendors, legacy software, and manual workflows. At Arlo, we build our own infrastructure. You'll work closely with operational teams and AI Forward Deployed Engineers to turn real business workflows into AI-native products and internal platforms. The goal isn't to bolt AI onto existing software it's to redesign how the work happens altogether. We care about engineers who want to own real operational problems end-to-end: product architecture, backend systems, frontend experiences, AI workflows, and production deployment. What You Will Do * Design and ship full-stack products across the insurance lifecycle, working across React, React Native, TypeScript, Python, Postgres, and modern AI infrastructure. * Build AI-native underwriting systems that synthesize risk, structure messy data, and assist decision-making. * Create claims tooling that automates review, coordination, and document processing workflows. * Develop internal operational platforms for teams managing millions in premiums and healthcare spend. * Build member-facing products that combine conversational AI, navigation, and real-time healthcare workflows. * Design retrieval, memory, and evaluation systems that improve reliability and operational performance over time * Work directly with operational teams to identify bottlenecks and rapidly ship systems that eliminate manual work. * Own projects end-to-end: product architecture, backend systems, frontend experiences, AI integration, and production deployment. The work is highly applied. Success is measured by whether the systems you build become core infrastructure for how the company operates, reducing operational overhead, improving member experience, and allowing teams to scale far beyond traditional insurance companies. What We're Looking For Principal Engineers at Arlo operate across functions, not just within them. In addition to owning large technical systems, Principal Engineers identify opportunities to redesign how the company itself operates. They work across underwriting, claims, finance, operations, and member experience to build shared platforms, AI infrastructure, and workflows that become foundational to the business. This role is deeply hands-on. Principal engineers are expected to ship quickly, work directly with operators, and build systems that create leverage across the organization, not just within a single team. ## Related Videos - [Optimizing Discovery: PostgreSQL's Role in Transforming GetYourGuide's Search](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1647-optimizing-discovery-postgresql-s-role-in-transforming-getyourguide-s-search) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [The Software Engineer 2030: From Coder To AI Orchestrator? - Patrick Schnell](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1825-the-software-engineer-2030-from-coder-to-ai-orchestrator-patrick-schnell) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [Discover the open source trio you didn’t expect: .NET and PostgreSQL on Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2042-discover-the-open-source-trio-you-didn-t-expect-net-and-postgresql-on-linux) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
