At most companies, engineers wait for approvals, dependencies, and unaddressed problems. , we don’t wait. If you have an idea, you can explain, build, and ship it—sometimes in days, not months.

“Everything you do reflects immediately for the users,” said one engineer. “And things move fast.” Another shared, “At other companies I made very little difference here I can go do it.”

We build a culture of ownership, high standards, and rapid iteration. Engineers collaborate across teams and see their work reflected in real customer behavior quickly.

• Build automation systems that handle complex insurance servicing tasks end-to-end (policy endorsements, cancellations, document uploads, reinstatements) or reduce policy cancellations, improve renewals, and ensure users always have the best coverage.
• Fast sprint cycles: ship new automations in 1–2 weeks on average.
• Compose backend business logic that drives automation while respecting complex insurance carrier rules.
• Design backend pipelines that sync customer policy data, deliver timely alerts, and power seamless re-shopping experiences.
• Optimize and scale our internal tools (think: in-house Docu Sign for servicing) to reduce agent intervention to nearly zero.
• Collaborate closely with product, data, and engineering ops to anticipate churn and improve customer retention.
• Work asynchronously across time zones, with minimal meetings but strong collaboration through Asana and Slack.
• Continuously improve our backend systems, APIs, and microservice architecture.

• Frontend & backend:
  Type Script, Nest.js, Next.js, React, React Native, Expo
• API:
  GraphQL
• Data:
  Postgres, Dynamo
  
  DB, Clickhouse, Redis
• Infrastructure: AWS, microservices, containerized services on ECS/EKS, asynchronous processing on Lambda
• We’re refactoring major parts of our code base—simplifying old systems, rebuilding core flows, and setting up the next three years of our platform’s growth.

• Experience:
  
  At least 5 years full‑stack engineering experience building production‑grade software, ideally prior experience building large‑scale distributed systems for a fast‑growing consumer‑facing software.
• Technical strength:
  Strong foundations in data structures, algorithms, and systems design matter more than prior experience with our tech stack.
• Problem solver:
  You enjoy tackling ambiguous problems, breaking them down into actionable code, and iterating quickly.
• Ownership:
  You take responsibility for end‑to‑end outcomes and continuously improve the systems you build.
• Collaboration:
  
  Comfortable working asynchronously with a global team, with excellent communication skills.
• Curiosity + adaptability:
  You love learning, exploring new tools, and stepping outside your comfort zone to understand the bigger picture.

We’ll work in a flexible, fast‑moving, and highly collaborative culture, where innovation is encouraged, your voice is heard, and the impact of your work is immediate. You’ll tackle meaningful challenges, learn, and grow alongside talented peers.
