About Corgi

Corgi is a full-stack insurance carrier building better, faster insurance products for startups. We’re not a broker, so we underwrite and issue policies directly, with fewer handoffs and less friction. Cutting out intermediaries lets us tailor coverage to how companies actually operate and price risk more efficiently.

We build insurance products from the ground up, using AI and software to automate the workflows traditionally handled by large teams of brokers, underwriters, TPAs, accountants, and operations staff. Our goal is not to incrementally improve insurance, it is to rebuild the industry infrastructure itself.

We move quickly, care deeply about talent density, and hire people who want to solve difficult problems with unusually high ownership.

About the Role

We're hiring a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to lead the design and development of the systems that power our insurance companies and internal operations.

You will own large technical initiatives across underwriting, claims, finance, compliance, and internal tooling. You'll work directly with leadership, product, and operations teams to build software that eliminates manual work and enables the company to scale. This role is for someone who wants significant ownership, enjoys solving complex problems, and can independently drive projects from concept to production.

This role is based in our London office.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain critical internal and customer-facing software systems.
• Lead the development of backend services, APIs, and scalable infrastructure.
• Own major projects from architecture through deployment and ongoing maintenance.
• Work across the stack to rapidly ship products and features.
• Partner closely with operations, finance, underwriting, and leadership teams to automate complex workflows.
• Improve system reliability, performance, security, and scalability.
• Make architectural decisions and establish engineering best practices.
• Mentor engineers and help raise the technical bar across the team.
• Help shape the future direction of our engineering organization.

Who You Are

• Exceptional software engineering fundamentals.
• Comfortable operating with limited structure and high levels of responsibility.
• Strong product and business intuition.
• High ownership and relentless execution.
• Able to balance speed with sound technical judgment.
• Excited by difficult technical and operational challenges.
• Interested in building software that directly impacts how businesses operate.

Preferred Experience

• 5+ years of software engineering work experience.
• Experienced in Typescript, Python, React, FastAPI, Django, Flask, and AWS.
• Strong experience designing distributed systems and scalable applications.
• Experience owning production systems and making architectural decisions.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, APIs, databases, and modern development practices.
• Built significant personal, startup, or professional projects.
• Experience in fintech, insurance, workflow automation, or other complex operational businesses is helpful but not required.

Why Join

• Build foundational systems for a new kind of insurance company.
• Own business-critical systems and technical decisions.
• Work directly with senior leadership and core operators.
• High ownership and visibility from day one.
• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity.
• Opportunity to help define how insurance infrastructure is built in the AI era.
