Location: Remote - United States

Company Stage of Funding: Venture-Backed Growth-Stage Company

Office Type: Remote or Hybrid, New York

Company Description

We're representing a venture-backed AI company building professional-grade software for the insurance industry. Its platform helps insurers automate and improve critical workflows across underwriting, claims, pricing, operations, and distribution.

The company’s products are already in production with leading insurers, and the team includes talent from companies such as Facebook, Palantir, Google, Amazon, Uber, Mastercard, and McKinsey.

About the Role

We are looking for engineers who enjoy going deep on hard problems and owning end-to-end outcomes. As a Staff engineer on the Submission Processing team, you'll work at the intersection of AI and backend engineering and have major ownership and agency: design the systems, make architectural calls under ambiguity, and play a key role in setting the technical direction for the team.

You'll be working on building and scaling LLM-based systems that process billions of highly unstructured data points on a daily basis, extract precise information, and surface insights that insurers rely on for high-stakes decisions. This is a problem the industry hasn't solved effectively yet, and you'll be working on cutting-edge challenges that require creativity and ambition. We're a small team where individual contributions have an outsized impact on both our technology and our business.

You’ll be right at home if you:

• Have 5+ years of software engineering experience.
• Embody hustle and grit, you're excellent at your craft and relentless in pursuing it.
• Take full ownership of your work and drive projects to completion with minimal oversight.
• Communicate proactively, surfacing blockers, asking the right questions, keeping stakeholders in the loop.
• Thrive on experimentation: you're comfortable testing ideas, measuring results, and iterating quickly on problems no one has solved before.
• Have strong fundamentals in system design, debugging, and problem-solving.
• Have worked with LLMs in production and understand what it takes to deploy them at scale.
• Have experience with AWS and serverless technologies (Lambda, EC2), asynchronous workflows, and cloud environments.
• Know Python (our main stack), though we're open to strong candidates from other OO backgrounds
• Are comfortable with relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL.
• Are excited by problems others are struggling with.
• Bonus: experience with document pipelines and processing large amounts of data

Compensation and Benefits

• $192K - $314K base
• Significant equity options package.
• Hybrid work environment.
• 20 days of PTO annually.
• 100% covered medical insurance.
• 100% covered dental and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with employer contribution regardless of employee contribution.
• Healthy living/gym stipend.
• Continuing education credits.
• Global company offsites.
• Best suited for a full-stack engineer who enjoys iterative product improvement, frontend polish, and making an established product feel exceptionally well crafted.
