Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE We're a seed-stage, Y Combinator-backed insurtech AI company building agentic workflows that automate complex claims operations for insurance carriers, third-party administrators (TPAs), and their partners. Our platform handles everything from claim intake and status updates to third-party outreach and document parsing — processing millions of claims across Workers' Compensation, Property & Casualty, and Health insurance sectors. We're looking for a Founding Software Engineer to join our small, high-velocity team and help shape the core platform. This is a forward-deployed engineering role — you'll work directly with customers, map their workflows, and ship production-grade code that solves real problems at scale. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build voice AI systems and document agent workflows that process millions of insurance claims. - Partner directly with customers to deeply understand their workflows and deliver friction-free solutions. - Ship production-grade TypeScript and Python code that operates on live claims data. - Design APIs, data models, and integrations with claims management systems and external platforms. - Contribute to foundational architectural decisions as an early member of the engineering team. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Required: - 3+ years of professional software development experience with TypeScript and Python in production environments. - Hands-on experience with AWS, Docker, and PostgreSQL in production. - Proven ability to design and implement APIs, data models, and integrations with external systems (e.g., claims management systems or similar enterprise platforms). - Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable collaborating directly with customers in a forward-deployed capacity. - Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment. - Must be authorized to work in the United States (US citizen or valid work visa). Visa sponsorship is not available. - Must be able to work from within the United States. Nice to Have: - Prior experience in insurtech, healthtech, or other regulated industries. - Familiarity with voice AI, LLM orchestration, or agentic workflow systems. - Experience at an early-stage startup or in a founding engineering role. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Salary: $150,000 – $200,000 per year - Early-stage equity as a founding team member LOCATION This role is based on-site in New York, NY. Candidates must be located in or willing to relocate to New York. Remote work is not available for this position.
