📋 Description

• We are looking for smart engineers who love to code, seek challenging problems, and appreciate recognition for excellent work. • As part of the Submission Processing team, you will work at the intersection of AI and backend engineering - this is core R&D work, not routine development. • Your day-to-day will involve building LLM-based solutions that process millions of insurance documents at scale, extracting precise information about companies and synthesizing it into a complete picture of the insured. • You'll collaborate with a global team of full-stack, data, ML, and DevOps engineers to build scalable backend solutions as we continue to grow.

🎯 Requirements

• Have 5+ years of software engineering experience with deep Python expertise. • Embody hustle and grit, you're excellent at your craft and relentless in pursuing it. • Take full ownership of your work and drive projects to completion with minimal oversight. • Communicate proactively, surfacing blockers, asking the right questions, keeping stakeholders in the loop. • Thrive on experimentation: you're comfortable testing ideas, measuring results, and iterating quickly on problems no one has solved before. • Have strong fundamentals in system design, debugging, and problem-solving. • Have worked with LLMs in production and understand what it takes to deploy them at scale. • Are fluent with coding agents and AI-assisted development - you don't just tolerate AI tools, you actively push their boundaries. • Have experience with AWS and serverless technologies (Lambda, EC2), asynchronous workflows, and cloud environments. • Are comfortable with relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL. • Are excited by R&D and want to solve problems others are still struggling with.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary (based on experience level). • Significant equity options package. • 401(k) plan with employer contribution (regardless of employee contribution) • Excellent benefits: 100% covered medical, 100% covered vision and dental, and others. • Work with an ambitious, smart, global, and fun team to transform a $1T global industry. • 20 days of PTO a year. • Global team offsites (2021 - Playa del Carmen, 2022 - Rome, 2023 - Buenos Aires, 2024 - Lisbon) • Healthy living/gym stipend. Mobile phone bill stipend. • Continuing education credits.
