About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You’ll be deep in the code, learning both the technical and business sides of our core product (insurance is very complex and every insurance provider uses different logic and behaves differently). Then you will lead incremental refactoring of our existing automation systems: designing and implementing new standards and pairing with engineers to ensure the new system is predictable and testable.
As the architecture stabilizes, you’ll shift towards using an AI-first approach to building the next generation of internal tools that will allow us to grow from 5M to 50M users.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A Player Coach: You likely founded a company or were a lead architect at an early stage startup. You are a builder at heart and like being in the trenches alongside your team.
A Detective: You are obsessed with success rates. You love hunting for edge cases in complex business logic and won't stop until you understand exactly why a script failed.
A Systems Thinker: You have a high bar for system design, especially for offline, asynchronous jobs. You understand that async work requires much stricter standards for decoupling, state management, and failure retry logic than synchronous online systems.
