We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with 4+ YOE (ideally 4 - 8 YOE) to join our founding engineering team. We need a relentless builder who has scaled products through hyper-growth at successful startups and is excited to own core systems, shape the technical roadmap, and push the boundaries of what's possible with agentic AI in the insurance industry. This is a critical hire as we close our Series A and scale to meet demand from the largest brokers in the country.

Responsibilities

• Own and scale our core extraction engine and backend systems, maintaining quality and performance as we grow

• Build and maintain integrations with customer platforms and legacy insurance systems

• Develop cutting-edge agentic features, including browser-use agents that automate insurance portal workflows end-to-end

• Partner directly with the CTO to shape the product roadmap and contribute to long-term technical vision

• Join customer check-ins to understand pain points, inform product priorities, and help design solutions that directly address their needs

• Mentor junior engineers through code reviews and technical standards, setting the pace for code quality across the team

• Work in a fast-paced, high-output environment with direct ownership of features from design through production

Python, AWS, EC2, S3

Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience in backend software engineering,​ primarily in Python.​
• Experience building from 0→1 — founding or early engineer who has shipped from scratch.​

• Expert-​level proficiency in Python.​
• Experience building with LLMs or generative AI in production.​

• Cutting-Edge Technical Work: Building production agentic systems (browser-use agents for insurance portals), scaling a core extraction engine, and integrating with legacy systems at a company with real PMF and customer pull.
