## About the role

As a founding engineer you will build the company at the earliest stage, both technically and culturally. The role of an engineer is evolving from writing code to being full-stack problem solvers (and using lots of AI agents to do it), and we are looking for AI-pilled engineers with strong technical foundations who are excited by this. You’ll build the core product, work directly with our customers, and do whatever it takes to make our customers successful.

## What they're looking for

- Experienced full-stack software engineer — we care more about what you have done than years of experience
- You leverage agentic engineering heavily, but still care about your code and its quality
- Want to work directly with customers, go deep on insurance topics, and creatively solve their problems
