Job description

At Comulate, we’re transforming the insurance back office with AI. Our platform, which reinvents expensive and time-consuming accounting processes, is the first step in our vision to unlock the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on manual insurance operations.

Our Series B, announced in early 2025, led by BOND & Workday, comes on the heels of record growth and accelerating expansion plans.

Why you should consider joining

• Record-setting growth, having gone from zero to 8-figure ARRwithin three years of founding, representing 95th+ percentile company growth among startups that achieve these milestones

• Strong product market fit revealed in growth and through customer love, with users describing the platform as “the best thing since sliced bread” and "life-changing"

• Our lean, talented team is creating category-defining products for large public and private enterprises, driving 7-figure ROI and cash-flow positive operations, providing the best of both worlds: outsized employee ownership and low company risk

• We're continuing to take big, ambitious first-to-market bets for a highly committed customer base and an exciting pipeline of new customers

• We’re in the early innings of our vision and poised to take advantage of the massive opportunity to deploy AI into core workflows throughout the insurance industry

About the role

As our first Platform Engineer you'll play a critical role in shaping our cloud infrastructure and ensuring our systems are reliable, scalable, and secure. To keep pace with our explosive growth, we’re looking for an experienced team member to execute with best practices from day one.

Our stack: TypeScript, Node, Postgres, React, Next.js, AWS (ECS, RDS, ElastiCache)

Learn more about our engineering culture and learnings on our engineering blog.

You might be a good fit if you have/are:

• 3+ years of cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or SRE experience.

• 1+ years of experience architecting AWS infrastructure.

  • Examples you'll work on here: Blue-green deployments, VPN for employees (e.g. Tailscale) and Postgres observability tooling (e.g. pganalyze or pghero).

• 1+ years of experience writing application layer code.

• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), such as Terraform or CloudFormation

• Understanding of networking in AWS involving VPCs and VPNs.

• You are known for driving engineering best practices around application performance, monitoring, and alerting.

• Developer experience is top of mind: you have improved CI/CD pipelines and local development tooling (e.g. hot-reloading, unit testing speed, etc.)

• [Nice to have] Deep understanding of Postgres performance to help advise engineers on best practices / how to improve query performance.

• [Nice to have] Familiarity with compliance standards such as SOC 2.

Our team & philosophy

We’re backed by BOND, Spark Capital, Neo, and Workday, as well asfounders/executives from Brex, Asana, Plaid, Applied Intuition, Coalition, and more.

Our team hails from companies like Airbnb, Google, Brex, and LiveRamp and we’re fairly low-profile: focusing the majority of our energy on delivering for customers and building a category-defining company.

We’re hiring predominantly in San Francisco , as we believe in-person collaboration is strategically important for a company at our stage — both for velocity and company culture.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary and generous equity

• Generous medical, dental, and vision benefits

• 401K plan enrollment

• Flexible time-off policy

• Lunch & dinner every day

• Paid parental leave

• Company outings and offsites
