Job description

Who We Are

Our mission at Quandri is to transform insurance into a trusted and delightful experience using AI. We are building the AI operating system for North America’s best insurance agencies and brokerages. For the first time ever, we have the technology to fundamentally change how insurance operates, and the stakes are human. Better insurance means families protected from harm, businesses able to take risks, and communities more resilient when the worst happens. For insurance practitioners, the ability to deliver this level of service finally becomes possible.

What We Do

Quandri brings deeply specific, vertically‑focused AI to the industry’s most critical stakeholders: insurance agencies and brokerages. Agents are the lifeblood of the industry, the place where most property and casualty insurance is sold and serviced. Yet operating an agency is harder than ever. Peak product complexity, accelerating consolidation, a deepening talent crisis, and the AI revolution are all reshaping how agencies work. Quandri sits at the cutting edge of this shift, rebuilding how agencies operate one workflow at a time. We pair a deep understanding of insurance processes, systems, and data with serious technical capability and proprietary models, so the transformation is tangible and operational rather than aspirational. We’re making insurance better for policyholders, while helping insurance brokerages deliver a better client service, grow faster, and harness AI so that they control the future of insurance distribution.

Why Join Us?

We are headquartered in beautiful Vancouver, BC, backed by leading US and Canadian investors. Recognition includes:

• LinkedIn’s Top Canadian Startups in 2024 & 2025
• Deloitte’s Fast 50
• CB Insights’ Insurtech 50 and Fintech 100
• The Globe and Mail’s Top Growing Companies in Canada.

About the Role

As a Full Stack Engineer at Quandri, you will be directly responsible as an IC leader of a team that builds our revenue‑generating customer‑facing product offerings on our intelligence platform. As a key member of our technical staff, you will also contribute to building and driving a high‑performing engineering culture of technical excellence that scales as headcount grows. Your expertise will be crucial in mentoring other developers, guiding them to grow their technical skills. You will also be responsible for hiring new talent and training them to ensure they meet our high standards. We expect effective communication and ownership, ensuring clarity and comprehensiveness through technical design documents, documentation, and technical roadmaps. The ideal candidate is excited by the improved developer velocity impacts of AI‑driven development tools. You are adaptable, curious, and driven, with a passion for diving deep into technical problems and a desire to make a significant impact.

Working with product owners, VP of Engineering, customer success, other IC leaders, and business stakeholders, you will drive impact through team health, operational excellence, and delivering large‑scale impact against aligned objectives.

If you enjoy transforming an industry, want to work with a close‑knit and high performing team, value a high level of ownership in everything you do, and want to take on a real challenge, then this could be the right fit. If you want to take marching orders, work on small features of massive products and don’t want a high level of direct responsibility, then this probably isn’t a fit.

In This Role You Will Be Expected To

• Build delightful enterprise‑level products with customers at the core.
• Define the technical vision and roadmap for the Quandri product offerings, implementation and delivery of critical functionality for our web application and product platforms.
• Drive accountability for your team’s technical health. Ensure the architecture, security and flexibility of your team’s technical infrastructure is excellent.
• Provide guidance, mentor and coach your team members in development best practices to help them grow as developers, leaders and people.
• Uplevel technical skills across the engineering organization through knowledge sharing, presentations, and pair programming.
• Be an employer brand ambassador for Quandri, driving tech industry awareness in the Vancouver community.
• Learn, share and grow with the rest of Quandri’s highly motivated, stellar team.

The Right Person for This Role Will Have

• 10–15 years of experience as a developer.
• A deep understanding of software development best practices and experience deploying software at scale.
• Experience designing and implementing complex software architecture.
• Experience designing and implementing user interfaces, databases, backends and APIs.
• A passion for software development and working alongside a team of highly intelligent, motivated software engineers.
• Experience with:
  • React/Typescript
  • Python, Django
  • PostgreSQL, DynamoDB
  • Front‑ and backend observability and product metrics
  • AWS
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes

Who We’re Looking For

• Problem solver who experiments, thinks creatively, and is okay with failing in order to find the right solutions.
• High standards: we hold high standards and expect you to push them even higher.
• Adaptable: as an early‑stage company, things change rapidly and you need to adapt.
• Impact: you take your work seriously and want to make a big impact, not play small.
• Curious: you genuinely want to understand our product, industry, customers and problems.
• Ownership: you own your work, take pride in your team’s success, and do not say “that’s not my job.”
• Deep technical understanding and leverage it to build better, holistic solutions.
• Intelligent and quick to learn new concepts.

Our Guiding Principles

• Customers at the core: we prioritise customer needs above everything else.
• Move with urgency: we embed urgency into everything we do.
• Be curious: we understand the world by asking why.
• Excellence in execution: we commit to high execution in all tasks.
• Act like an owner: we follow through on commitments and think long‑term.
• Fight for simplicity: we enforce streamlined solutions.
• AI‑first: we prioritize AI thinking in product and internal operations.

Compensation and Benefits

• Compensation range of $150k to $170k annually
• Employee stock options, granted based on experience level upon hire and subject to a standard vesting schedule
• Comprehensive health benefits, including a $500 lifestyle spending account
• Four weeks of paid vacation per year
• Work anywhere in the world for 60 calendar days of the year
• Parental leave top‑ups: 6 months for birthing parents, 8 weeks for non‑birthing parents (up to $100,000 annual salary)

Don’t let imposter syndrome stop you from applying. Great people sometimes don’t have the “right” experience. If you think that you’ll be amazing at this role, then we encourage you to apply.

At Quandri, we build technology that automates the repetitive so people can focus on what actually matters — and we apply that same philosophy internally. In our hiring process, that means using AI to handle the administrative and logistical work so our interviewers can show up more fully in every conversation with you. AI tools support parts of our process, such as analyzing resumes and taking notes during interviews. But AI is never the decision maker. Every hiring decision is made by real people who are invested in getting it right — for you and for Quandri. If you have questions about how your information is handled or how we use AI, don’t hesitate to reach out.
