Job Description
Our client is a fast-growing, technology-driven specialty insurance platform that is transforming how commercial insurance products are built, distributed, and serviced. Backed by a leading private equity firm, the company combines deep industry expertise with modern engineering, data, and AI to deliver innovative solutions at scale.

The company is investing heavily in AI-enabled engineering practices, and is looking for a hands-on Senior Staff Engineer who can help raise the technical bar, accelerate delivery, and guide small engineering pods through complex product work.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who enjoys building, designing, and shipping software - not just advising from a distance. You will lead complex projects end-to-end, write production code, guide engineers, partner closely with product and business stakeholders, and help the team adopt more advanced AI-assisted development practices. You will act as a technical lead within small project-based pods, helping with architecture, task breakdown, code quality, delivery execution, and team mentorship.

Employment Type: Full-Time Permanent

Location: Remote, but MUST be physically located in the US.

Compensation: USD $,000 base + bonus + full benefits (see below)

What You'll Do:

• Design, build, and ship full stack software across backend services, APIs, data layers, and user-facing applications.
• Lead small engineering pods through complex, high-impact projects from discovery through delivery.
• Write production code while also guiding solution design, architecture, and technical decisions.
• Break down business and product requirements into clear technical plans and executable tasks.
• Partner with product managers, QA, business stakeholders, and engineering leadership to deliver practical, scalable solutions.
• Own technical quality across performance, reliability, maintainability, security, and user experience.
• Lead backend-heavy development involving APIs, third-party integrations, and internal platform capabilities.
• Support database design, proof-of-concepts, integration planning, and technical trade-off discussions.
• Help unblock engineers through code review, design guidance, troubleshooting, and hands-on problem solving.
• Use AI coding tools and agents to accelerate development, testing, documentation, and delivery workflows.
• Mentor engineers on effective AI-assisted development practices, including prompting, task decomposition, review, and validation.
• Step into complex or time-sensitive projects and help bring them to a successful outcome.
