About the role

We’re bringing much needed simplicity to the complex world of employee leave. Today, the process is needlessly complex: going on leave (be it parental, medical, bereavement, or for any other reason) means talking to reps and wading through a mountain of government and insurance claims just to get your time off and income in moments when you're the most stressed and busy. We talked to hundreds of employees and employers who had nightmare stories to tell, so we decided to fix it.

What they're looking for

  • Are an experienced engineer with experience leading large-scope projects
  • Previously worked in a fast-paced engineering environment. Ideally, you have experience building complex products or infrastructure end-to-end
  • Obsess over the details, whether it’s getting that user-facing flow or code abstraction just right. We take great pride in things that have a high level of craftsmanship, both inside and outside of work
  • Know when to “move fast and break things”, and when to slow down and think through all of the details to build something robust and scalable
  • Are intellectually curious and enjoy digging into the nuts-and-bolts of how things work
  • Debate without animosity or ego. We thrive on thinking from first principles, questioning assumptions, and always pushing to make things better

Our mission is to empower every working person to take care of the important things in life when it matters most — removing all of the friction that exists today for both employees and employers — and be the #1 advocate for folks going through the process. It's a really exciting space, and we're moving incredibly fast on both product and user momentum.

Excited about taking the most frustrating processes companies and employees face and making it surprisingly delightful? We'd love to work with you.

We're a small but mighty team looking to build out the rest of our engineering org.

As a software engineer, you'll end up working on everything up and down the stack. You'll spend a lot of time talking to...
