About Ignition Benefits

The AI-Native Benefits Brokerage. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

Ignition Benefits is the AI-native employee-benefits brokerage for companies with 25–200 employees. We believe the $900B+ employer benefits market is broken: opaque, manual, and stuck in the 1990s. We are changing that with technology, transparency, and a radically better client experience. We're backed by Y Combinator and Equal Ventures, and our CEO previously built and sold Plated for $300M, the largest exit in Shark Tank history. You are joining a team that knows how to build and scale.

What they're looking for

  • Build full-stack web apps our customers and our own ops team use every day
  • Ship features end to end — architecture, CI/CD, testing, monitoring, and beyond
  • Build AI agents and durable workflows that run our back office — processes that run for weeks, wait on external systems, and resume where they left off
  • Put agents in production, not in demos — human approval, evals, observability, etc
  • Integrate third-party tools and external systems, proactively managing edge cases and risk
  • Debug hard production issues and fix them for good
