Lily learns how your business works, builds the software the work needs, and runs it across the systems and agents you already use. Backed by Insight.
About the role
We work in small teams with real ownership: clear problems, direct access to the customers whose work you're changing, and room to ship. Your code runs in live production systems inside billion-dollar operations, so you see your impact directly. People who do well here want that proximity to the work. We're growing fast, and the people who join now shape what this company becomes. Everything runs on three principles: Customers, Culture, and Code.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s in CS, engineering, math, physics, or related: demonstrated ability matters more than credential
- 0–1 years as a software engineer (strong candidates have shipped something with real users)
- Strong fluency in at least one backend language (Python, TypeScript, or similar) and a modern web stack
- AI-serious: you’ve built something with LLMs (a RAG system, an agent, a fine-tuned model, a real integration)
- Strong communication: you can explain what you built and why you built it that way to non-technical audiences
- Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
