About the Role

We're a fast-moving, VC-backed insurtech startup building an AI-native platform that is transforming how insurance agencies sell, service, and support their customers. Our platform includes a real-time voice layer, an AI agent/skills system, omnichannel messaging, and deep integrations with insurance-industry systems — all built on a modern, production-grade backend. We're already trusted by a growing base of insurance agencies and shipping fast.

We're looking for a Backend Engineer who takes full ownership of features — from design through deployment and production support — and is excited to work in an AI-native engineering culture where tools like Claude Code and Codex are part of the daily workflow.

What You'll Do

• Build and ship features across the backend platform: campaign/workflow engine, integrations layer, and core APIs.

• Work directly with a multi-tenant PostgreSQL data model — schema design, migrations, and query performance optimization.

• Design and implement event-driven and queue-based workflows using Temporal as the workflow orchestration engine.

• Own features end-to-end: design, build, test, deploy, and support in production.

• Ship daily using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code / Codex) as a core part of your engineering workflow.

• Partner closely with the Head of Engineering on architecture decisions and code reviews.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript / Node.js — comfortable building and maintaining production APIs and services.

• Solid experience with PostgreSQL, including multi-tenant schema design, migrations, and query optimization.

• Experience designing and building event-driven / asynchronous workflows using queue-based systems or workflow engines (e.g., Temporal or similar).

• Demonstrated ability to own features end-to-end, from design to production support.

• Familiarity with AI-native development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or similar coding assistants — used daily.

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and production monitoring / on-call readiness.

• Clear, async-friendly communicator, comfortable working across a distributed international team.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with NestJS or another structured Node.js framework.

• AWS experience: RDS, ECS/EKS, Terraform (IaC).

• Experience building or operating LLM/agent systems in production (prompt engineering, agent orchestration, evals).

• Background in insurance, fintech, or another regulated/compliance-heavy vertical.

Our Stack

• Backend: TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS (monorepo)

• Orchestration: Temporal (Temporal Cloud)

• Data: PostgreSQL on AWS RDS (multi-tenant, row-level security)

• Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform IaC

• AI: Anthropic + OpenAI models, prompt/agent orchestration, evals

• Frontend: React / Next.js

• Observability & Auth: Datadog, Clerk

• Tooling: Linear, GitHub, Claude Code + Codex

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: Up to $72,000 USD annually (range dependent on experience)

• Fully remote role — work from anywhere

• Early-stage equity opportunity

• Visa sponsorship is not available for this role
