About the role

We are building the first universal API for insurance, unlocking access to a core financial data primitive that impacts almost every industry and transaction. Our mission is to completely transform the communication layer for insurance.

Responsibilities

  • Guide the core platform that pairs complex data structuring (using LLM inference) with durable data acquisition pipelines (using agentic workflows).
  • Impact every customer we work with, across foundational use cases such as asset lending and business contracting.
  • Work on complex problems including building industry-first evals for insurance data extractors and transformers, integrating context and understanding to standardize high-variability data points, understanding data management and hierarchy across overlapping data ingestors, orchestrating self-healing agents that automatically get better over time, building, and maintaining durable, scalable systems capable of processing millions of complex transactions per month, defining interfaces (API-driven) to enable turn-key usage of our data platform across varied applications, designing novel AI-led techniques for increasing the accuracy and reliability of our data integrations.
  • Have complete ownership over the work you do — as an early team member, you’ll have the opportunity to truly own large areas of product and engineering and have direct relationship with customers.
  • Work directly with the CTO and other founding members to help build out our team.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience (or equivalent) building complex systems in high-scale environments.
  • A perspective when approaching common system patterns (e.g., state machines, event brokers, etc.) as well as API design and maintenance.
  • A desire to define ways to increase observability, simplicity, and velocity across our engineering processes.
  • Experience deploying AI/ML systems into production environments.
  • Ability to take abstract projects end-to-end, operating with high agency.
  • You've been at high-growth startups and know what "high velocity" looks like.

Qualifications

  • Experience in fintech or data aggregation is a plus.

Skills

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Node.js
  • TypeScript

Benefits

  • We have a product loved by customers and being used in mission-critical flows at Fortune 500 banks and leading brands like Hertz, Avis, and Audi.
  • We're punching well above our weight, supporting customer and revenue metrics with half the team size of other startups — everyone joining at this stage will have outsized impact.
  • We're tackling unsolved problems at the intersection of complex data structuring, agentic workflows, and financial risk analysis.
  • We've grown revenue 5x this year to multiple $millions ARR, with our growth continuing to accelerate.
  • We're backed by world-class investors, including Google (Gradient Ventures), YC, and leaders from Plaid and Cox Automotive.
  • We care deeply about our team and provide great compensation and equity, full benefits & 401k, unlimited time-off, and plan an annual team offsite!
