Why Jerry.ai?

At most companies, engineers , we don’t wait. If you have an idea, you can explain it, build it, and ship it—sometimes in days, not months. One engineer said, "At other companies I made very little difference. Here, if I have a good idea, I can go do it." That sense of ownership is built into how we work. We move fast, and you’ll see your fingerprints on the product right away.

Engineers here love being able to touch every layer of the stack, collaborate across teams, and see their work reflected in real customer behavior—sometimes the same week they ship.

"Everything you do reflects immediately for the users," said another. "And things move fast."

We don’t do bureaucracy or politics. Everyone—from our CTO to our tech leads—writes code and sweats the details. "The leaders here lead by example," one teammate shared. "They have very high standards. They don’t settle for just OK."

It’s challenging work, but it’s meaningful. You’ll juggle new systems and old, context switch often, and learn constantly. You’ll also get more trust and autonomy than almost anywhere else. Engineers describe the culture as curious and collaborative: people step up to help, push each other to grow, and learn from every mistake. One teammate summed it up: "I once caused a bug that wasted $20,000 in AWS costs, but no one blamed me.

They only cared about how to prevent it next time."

We’re a remote‑first, global team with engineers across North America and Asia. We collaborate asynchronously, meet regularly to share context, and connect in person at our global off‑sites. Our engineers joined for the impact and stayed for the people: talented, no ego, and genuinely kind.

What You’ll Work On

• 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.

Our Tech Stack

• Frontend & back‑end:
Type Script, Nest.js, Next.js, React, React Native, Expo.

• API:
Graph

QL.

• Data:
Postgres, Dynamo

DB, Clickhouse, Redis.

• Infrastructure: AWS, microservices, containerized services on ECS/EKS, asynchronous processing on Lambda.

• Our business has grown more complex over time. 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. You’ll help build the foundation for that next phase.
