📋 Description

• We are looking for engineers who enjoy going deep on hard problems and owning end-to-end outcomes. • As a Staff engineer on the Submission Processing team, you’ll work at the intersection of AI and backend engineering and have major ownership and agency: design the systems, make architectural calls under ambiguity, and play a key role in setting the technical direction for the team. • You’ll be working on building and scaling LLM-based systems that process billions of highly unstructured data points on a daily basis, extract precise information, and surface insights that insurers rely on for high-stakes decisions. • This is a problem the industry hasn't solved effectively yet, and you'll be working on cutting-edge challenges that require creativity and ambition. We're a small team where individual contributions have an outsized impact on both our technology and our business.

🎯 Requirements

• Have 8+ years of software engineering experience. • Embody hustle and grit, you're excellent at your craft and relentless in pursuing it. • Take full ownership of your work and drive projects to completion with minimal oversight. • Communicate proactively, surfacing blockers, asking the right questions, keeping stakeholders in the loop. • Thrive on experimentation: you're comfortable testing ideas, measuring results, and iterating quickly on problems no one has solved before. • Have strong fundamentals in system design, debugging, and problem-solving. • Have worked with LLMs in production and understand what it takes to deploy them at scale. • Have experience with AWS and serverless technologies (Lambda, EC2), asynchronous workflows, and cloud environments. • Know Python (our main stack), though we’re open to strong candidates from other OO backgrounds • Are comfortable with relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL. • Are excited by problems others are struggling with. • Bonus: experience with document pipelines and processing large amounts of data

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary (based on experience level)* • Significant equity options package. • Work with an ambitious, smart, global, and fun team to transform a $7T global industry. • 20 days of PTO a year. • Global team offsites. • 100% covered PPO medical, 100% covered vision and dental for individuals and families. • Healthy living/gym stipend. Mobile phone bill stipend. • Continuing education credits. • 401(k) plan with employer contribution (regardless of employee contribution)
