Founding Software Engineer

Department: Engineering

Location: New York

Employment Type: FullTime

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.
