About the role

We are looking for a Product Engineer with 4+ years of experience to build and own AI-powered products that directly impact business KPIs.

This is a highly product-oriented engineering role: the engineer will work directly with sales, service, underwriting, and operations teams, identify business problems, turn them into scalable technical solutions, and ship extremely quickly.

The company operates at a very fast pace — prototypes and production features are expected to ship within hours or the same week rather than over long development cycles.

Key responsibilities

• Own one or multiple business KPIs end-to-end and drive measurable improvements through technology.
• Work directly with non-technical stakeholders across sales, service, underwriting, and operations.
• Translate business problems into scalable product and engineering solutions.
• Design and build AI-powered and agentic systems, including RAG, MCP, AI agents, and automation.
• Build across the full stack, rather than focusing exclusively on backend or frontend.
• Prototype, ship, measure, and iterate extremely quickly.
• Support production systems and participate in on-call responsibilities.

Must-have profile

• 4+ years of software/product engineering experience.
• Strong hands-on engineering skills in Python and/or TypeScript.
• Experience building production AI/LLM applications, ideally including:
  • RAG
  • AI agents / agent frameworks
  • MCP
  • workflow automation
• Strong product mindset — comfortable owning a business outcome/KPI, not just completing engineering tickets.
• Experience working directly with business or non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work across the stack and independently take a problem from idea prototype production.
• Comfortable working in a very high-speed startup environment.
• Willing to work 5 days per week from the San Francisco office.
• Comfortable supporting live systems / participating in on-call.

Strong plus

• Experience with Voice AI.
• AWS and/or GCP.
• Experience using AI coding tools such as Cursor and Claude Code as part of the daily development workflow.
• Startup / early-stage company experience.
• Experience building internal tools or automation for sales, operations, underwriting, customer service, or other business teams.
• Insurance / InsurTech experience.

AI: RAG, Agent Frameworks, MCP, Voice AI
Cloud: AWS / GCP
