Job Description
Senior Software Engineer — Product (On-site, San Francisco)
Compensation: $200K–$320K base + 0.1–0.3% equity
About the role
Join an AI company building automations for the insurance broking industry—turning hours of manual work into 3–4 minute workflows. The team has a +20M Series A, is at multi-seven-figure ARR, and counts ~25% of the top 50 brokers as customers. This is a product engineer role with true 0→1 and 1→10 ownership. On-site 5 days/week in SF.
What You’ll Do
- Ship end-to-end features across frontend and backend—own specs, code, tests, and rollout.
- Build core AI products: ingest hundreds-page PDFs/Excel, design browser automations for legacy systems, and scale the platform for high volume & throughput.
- Diagnose and debug across the stack; raise reliability, observability, and test coverage.
- Tune performance (latency, memory, concurrency) and harden systems for scale.
- Wear both PM and engineer hats: translate user needs and business goals into pragmatic, shippable software.
- Close the loop with customers; incorporate feedback rapidly and iterate.
What You’ll Bring
- 4+ years software engineering experience; proven record of shipping user-facing product.
- Strong TypeScript (backend + UI); Python a plus.
- Experience designing scalable systems and working across the full web stack.
- High agency, crisp communication, and product taste with deep user empathy.
- Comfortable being scrappy to get value in customers’ hands fast—and then hardening for scale.
- (Hiring for full-stack and backend tracks.)
Why This Seat
- Massive leverage: automate painful workflows in a $200B industry that’s under-digitized.
- Ownership: build agentic infrastructure that navigates legacy systems and saves customers thousands of hours daily.
- Trajectory: funded, real revenue, name-brand customers—move fast with experienced founders.
Logistics & Comp
- Location: San Francisco, on-site 5 days/week (relocation welcome).
- Compensation: $200K–$320K base + 0.1–0.3% equity.
- Headcount: hiring up to 5 engineers for this function.
- Process: ~4 steps with engineering and founders.
- Visa: No new sponsorships; transfers may be possible (processing timelines can vary).
