Job/Position: Senior Software Engineer (Python)
Compensation: $165,000 – $185,000 plus equity
Come join a venture-backed Insurtech startup utilizing advanced AI and automation to modernize the $300B+ insurance claims industry. We are searching for a Senior Software Engineer (Python) to help scale our platform!
We’re building something special: a next-generation platform that uses AI and automation to solve long-standing challenges in insurance claims. Backed by top-tier investors and led by seasoned industry innovators, we’re on a mission to set a new standard for how technology powers claims operations.
We have bold but attainable goals - and we’re looking for builders who thrive in evolving environments. If you’re excited by the idea of shaping a product from the ground up and tackling complex, real-world problems, we’d love to meet you.
What You’ll Do:
As a Senior Software Engineer (Python), you’ll play a critical role in shaping our technology and growth trajectory for years to come. You’ll be part of a small, high-impact team where your contributions will be felt immediately.
- Design and build core features across the stack: from customer-facing dashboards to scalable backend systems and seamless integrations.
- Work with our core tech stack: Python, AWS (Lambda, ECS, Docker), Postgres, SQL, dbt, Ruby/Rails, plus exposure to React, TypeScript, and JavaScript.
- Turn analytics and data science breakthroughs into real, production-ready solutions - ML algorithms, dashboards, alerts, and more.
- Architect a scalable data and analytics stack that enables rapid experimentation while staying elegant and reliable. Ship code from day one and deploy continuously.
- Partner closely with product, design, and sales to deliver features that matter most to customers.
- Mentor teammates, influence engineering culture, and help set processes as we scale. Be creative and resourceful - we’re solving problems that don’t have a playbook.
What We’re Looking For
- 5 – 10 years of hands-on experience in modern backend software development, data frameworks, and analytics-driven systems. Strong Python expertise with a passion for shipping clean, maintainable, high-quality code.
- Experience building and scaling backend systems, data pipelines, or analytics platforms. Using Python, SQL, DBT, AWS and Data Engineering skills for Data Science and ML model development – as needed.
- A proven track record of delivering impactful products - inside or outside of work (we love side projects and open-source contributions!).
- Comfort balancing customer needs with technical priorities - knowing when to go deep and when to keep it simple. Curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to step outside your core skillset to get things done.
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation package and equity
- Comprehensive health, dental, vision insurance
- 401(k) with employer match. (100% Remote First)
- Unlimited vacation (with a minimum time-off policy - yes, we mean it)
- Generous parental and family leave
- Your choice of laptop, large monitor, and setup designed to make you productive and comfortable.
We believe that diverse perspectives fuel innovation. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences - if this role excites you, we encourage you to apply.
