Software Engineer (up to $250k)
About the role
This company is rebuilding the foundation of a trillion-dollar industry with AI-driven claims processing. They've achieved significant ARR in under a year and are growing rapidly, backed by leading VCs, including a partner with early investments in foundational AI companies. The team combines deep academic rigor from top universities with experience from elite trading firms and AI powerhouses. This is a core backend engineering seat. You will own the infrastructure, databases, and architecture that powers real-time AI claims processing. Expect to deploy to production on day one. You'll design and scale systems handling real-time claims at massive scale, not just implement features from a backlog. This isn't a ticket-taker role. You're a founder-archetype operator: you'll help hire, set the bar for shipping, and force solutions into existence.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement core backend systems for real-time AI claims processing.
- Own the infrastructure, architecture, and database layers, including PostgreSQL and vector databases.
- Scale existing services to handle massive transaction volumes for enterprise clients.
- Drive technical specifications and build features from concept to production.
- Take full responsibility for your code in production, ensuring reliability and performance.
Requirements
- 2+ years of backend development experience, primarily with Python.
- Proven ownership of core system design: infrastructure, architecture, and databases (PostgreSQL, vector DBs).
- Ability to stand up cloud-native services end-to-end using REST, GraphQL, GCP/AWS, and Docker.
- High agency and a track record of forcing solutions into existence, even without a clear spec.
- A history of solving genuinely hard technical problems; bonus if you've been a CTO or founding engineer.
