Department: Engineering
Salary: Top of market salary + equity

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer with experience building web applications and service oriented architecture to help us build the core of our stack.This is a full-time, in-office position based in Austin, TX.

As a Sr Software Engineer you will:

• Build an experience for people to buy insurance that is so simple and intuitive your least-tech savvy relative could use it without help, regardless of device or platform.

• Pragmatic: We prioritize impact and delivery. You balance speed and quality, making thoughtful trade-offs to solve problems effectively. You leverage off-the-shelf solutions so we don’t re-invent the wheel but understand when a custom solution is appropriate. You'll be deploying code to production within hours of starting and working with us to iteratively build solutions.

• Specific languages: We don't really care if you've worked in our stack before as long as you're happy to learn it. If you're sharp enough to be on this team, you're sharp enough to learn any language or framework quickly.

• Python 3 / Kotlin

• Typescript

• React (Next.js)

• Django / FastAPI

• Postgres

• Kafka (we build on an event driven architecture)

• AWS (EKS)
