Senior Full-Stack/Backend Software Engineer (AI Product, Insurance Broking)

Senior Software Engineer — Product (On-site, San Francisco)

Compensation: $200K–$320K base + 0.1–0.3% equity

About the role

Join an AI company building automations for the insurance broking industry—turning hours of manual work into 3–4 minute workflows. The team has a +20M Series A, is at multi-seven-figure ARR, and counts ~25% of the top 50 brokers as customers. This is a product engineer role with true 0→1 and 1→10 ownership. On-site 5 days/week in SF.

What You’ll Do

• Ship end-to-end features across frontend and backend—own specs, code, tests, and rollout.
• Build core AI products: ingest hundreds-page PDFs/Excel, design browser automations for legacy systems, and scale the platform for high volume & throughput.
• Diagnose and debug across the stack; raise reliability, observability, and test coverage.
• Tune performance (latency, memory, concurrency) and harden systems for scale.
• Wear both PM and engineer hats: translate user needs and business goals into pragmatic, shippable software.
• Close the loop with customers; incorporate feedback rapidly and iterate.

What You’ll Bring

• 4+ years software engineering experience; proven record of shipping user-facing product.
• Strong TypeScript (backend + UI); Python a plus.
• Experience designing scalable systems and working across the full web stack.
• High agency, crisp communication, and product taste with deep user empathy.
• Comfortable being scrappy to get value in customers’ hands fast—and then hardening for scale.
• (Hiring for full-stack and backend tracks.)

Why This Seat

• Massive leverage: automate painful workflows in a $200B industry that’s under-digitized.
• Ownership: build agentic infrastructure that navigates legacy systems and saves customers thousands of hours daily.
• Trajectory: funded, real revenue, name-brand customers—move fast with experienced founders.

Logistics & Comp

• Location: San Francisco, on-site 5 days/week (relocation welcome).
• Compensation: $200K–$320K base + 0.1–0.3% equity.
