Salary

Top of market salary + equity

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer with experience building web applications and service oriented architecture to help us build the core of our stack. This is a full-time, in-office position based in Austin, TX.

As a Sr Software Engineer You Will

• Build an experience for people to buy insurance that is so simple and intuitive your least-tech savvy relative could use it without help, regardless of device or platform.
• Create a way for customers to document damage, making the claims process smarter and easier-no matter how they access our services.
• Design rating engines for calculating how much an insurance policy should cost
• Combine property intelligence APIs sources to flag flood, fire, and vandalism risks

What You'll Bring

• Experienced: This isn't your first rodeo. There's no specific minimum number of years requirement, but we expect you to be able to dive into a complex codebase without too much spin-up. Past experience as a team lead is definitely a plus.
• Builder: You like the product-side of engineering and have thoughtful opinions on what the user experience should be. You're not the type of engineer who wants a fully-fleshed out spec thrown over the wall for you to code.
• Pragmatic: We prioritize impact and delivery. You balance speed and quality, making thoughtful trade-offs to solve problems effectively. You leverage off-the-shelf solutions so we don’t re-invent the wheel but understand when a custom solution is appropriate. You'll be deploying code to production within hours of starting and working with us to iteratively build solutions.
• Specific languages: We don't really care if you've worked in our stack before as long as you're happy to learn it. If you're sharp enough to be on this team, you're sharp enough to learn any language or framework quickly.

• Python 3 / Kotlin
• Typescript
• React (Next.js)
• Django / FastAPI
• Postgres
• Kafka (we build on an event driven architecture)
• AWS (EKS)

Compensation and Benefits

• Compensation: Top of market salary + equity
• Time Off: 3 weeks PTO + 6 federal holidays
• Insurance: Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, HSA, FSA
• Retirement: 401(k)
• Perks: Free snacks, team lunches, collaborative office culture
