## About the role

As a Staff Engineer on the AirCover Insurance Platform, you will lead the design and evolution of the core subsystems that manage policies, coverage, enrollment and regional rules, and the experimentation capabilities that drive attach rate. At the staff level, you establish the technical vision, then deliver a solution that is flexible, always available, auditable and able to scale with the needs of the business. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Design the future-state architecture that lets us expand AirCover to new regions and products without rebuilding for each market, balancing short-term launch needs against long-term technical quality
- Lead the design of an experimentation framework for insurance offers, pricing and placement, with trustworthy measurement of attach rate and downstream outcomes
- Lead engineers inside and outside your team in building these solutions, and be the technical lead and owner of significant scope through ambiguity
- Engage early with product managers, designers, data scientists and legal partners to shape requirements and steer teams toward the most efficient path to our goals
- Raise the bar for technical quality from design, through code review, to production operations
- Mentor engineers, and be a player/coach who helps build the team and drives collaboration across multiple teams
