Job description

  • Hard backend/automation engineering problems on day 1. Backend is all we do, and the projects you’ll work on will be challenging and interesting.
  • Above-market cash and equity
  • We’ve raised funding from great investors including top fintech funds, ex-Plaid folks, and insurance industry insiders., * You’ll work closely with the team and early customers to build a world-class agentic platform.
  • You’ll solve hard technical problems from scratch, owning the solution through the entire development lifecycle.
  • You’ll help define the tech stack/architecture for an evolving product - we’re technology agnostic and focus using the right tool for the job.
  • You’ll contribute to the creation of the team culture, as well as internal tooling and processes.

Requirements

We are seeking highly autonomous engineers excited about owning the design and implementation of end-to-end workflows for a complex, high-stakes industry and playing a foundational role in the formation of the company., * 4+ years professional backend/full-stack engineering experience. Working on large-scale open-source projects works too. You’ve played significant roles in either crafting AI products, building processing pipelines, or systemic integration of external systems.

  • Bachelor’s degree in CS or equivalent
  • Early-stage startup experience (or other similar unstructured, fast-paced environment)
  • Live in or willing to relocate to the Bay Area to work full-time in our SF office, * Experience with web scraping, email scraping, browser automation - in general just getting data creatively out of hard-to-reach places
  • TypeScript/JavaScript experience in a professional or large-scale OSS setting. If you have a comprehensive side project you think is equivalent, send it our way! Clear, concise, and extensible code is important to us and collaborating with others is often a forcing function to that end.
  • Experience integrating with low tech industries, or other time spent integrating with poorly documented, antiquated APIs (and sometimes even a lack thereof).

About the company

Adapt API is a venture-backed startup building the agentic operations layer for Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance.

Today, walking into an insurance agency is like stepping into a time machine. Filing cabinets, fax machines, piles of incoming and outgoing mail. What you don’t see is that even for the parts that have been “digitized”, needless manual work abounds. Few systems communicate directly, leading to endless copy-pasting from emails to various proprietary web portals/desktop apps and back again.

Carrier by carrier, process by process, Adapt is bringing each of those manual and error-prone workflows into our comprehensive agentic platform.

The implementation details are subject to change, but this is our north star, and the future we envision isn’t possible without it.
