Join a high-performance team as a Software Engineer to overhaul the $300B insurance industry.

What you will do:

• Own core system design including PostgreSQL databases, vector DBs, and scalable cloud architecture on AWS/GCP.

• Build and deploy multi-modal AI systems that automate complex insurance intake, fraud detection, and routing workflows.

• Drive the full product lifecycle from writing technical specs to shipping production features alongside the founding team.

The ideal candidate:

• Proven builder with 2-5+ years of experience in backend development, specifically with Python and cloud-native environments.

• High-agency problem solver with a background in high-performance environments like HFT firms, quant shops, or top research labs.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
