Senior Software Engineer (Remote)
Team: Engineering
Location: Ontario
Commitment: Full-time
Workplace Type: remote
Overview of the role
We’re on a mission to modernize insurance, making it simpler, more accessible, and customer-first. The insurance industry is a $1T market that’s remained largely untouched by the digital revolution, and PolicyMe is here to change that. As a remote-first, Toronto-based startup with big ambitions, we’re building the future of insurance in Canada and beyond.
We're building a groundbreaking new product line that will transform the insurance broker experience through AI and machine learning. As an AI-Driven Full Stack Engineer, you'll be part of a team charting new territory - designing and implementing intelligent systems that automate manual processes and unlock powerful data-driven insights.
You will work across the stack, contributing to front end, back end, and AI/ML initiatives, while also participating in architecture discussions, release planning, and company-wide engineering initiatives. Our core stack includes Python, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, n8n, LangChain/LangGraph and AWS, and we are always open to adopting new tools and technologies that help us deliver better results
What you'll be doing:
- Leading the design and development of full stack features for our AI-powered web application using Python, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, and AWS
- Defining the technical vision and architectural principles for AI/ML systems
- Driving innovation by researching and prototyping cutting-edge AI technologies
- Ensuring security, scalability, and observability best practices across cloud architecture
- Work within a cross-functional environment partnering closely with product, design, and business teams to communicate technical designs/strategies
- Serve as a role model for engineering standards and bring consistency across systems and processes while mentoring junior and intermediate engineers
- Help drive sound technical decision-making across ambiguous, system-spanning problems
What we are looking for:
- A strong technical background with 5+ years of experience in fullstack web development and production AI/ML systems
- Deep expertise in AI/ML domains like NLP, computer vision, recommendation engines etc.
- Proficiency with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, microservices
- Proven ability to architect and lead end-to-end AI projects, including security best practices
- Exceptional technical communication and knowledge sharing abilities
- Track record of managing ambiguity and delivering innovative solutions
- An appreciation for fast-paced startup environments and experience building foundational systems
- Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous technical challenges and drive them to resolution with cross-functional teams
- Strong development skills in React, Python, and Node, or equivalent technologies with the ability to ramp up quickly
Why join us:
- Generous PTO - 20 vacation days
- A comprehensive benefits plan with premiums paid in full by PolicyMe
- Investment in your professional development, including an L&D budget, AI tooling budget, performance reviews twice a year and ongoing feedback to ensure you reach your highest potential
- An extremely high performing, low-ego, remote-first team that is truly disrupting an old industry
- Option to work from home or our Toronto-based office (bonus: we cover the costs to bring all our employees in-person twice a year for experiential socials!)
- Access to stock options based on performance
- Compensation: The total target cash compensation for this role is $154,000 - $176,000 CAD, based on experience. We’ll walk through the details together during the interview.
