What We're Looking For Required: 3+ years of professional software development experience with TypeScript and Python in production environments. Hands-on experience with AWS , Docker , and PostgreSQL in production. Proven ability to design and implement APIs, data models, and integrations with external systems (e.g., claims management systems or similar enterprise platforms). Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable collaborating directly with customers in a forward-deployed capacity. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment. Must be authorized to work in the United States (US citizen or valid work visa). Visa sponsorship is not available. Must be able to work from within the United States. Nice to Have: Prior experience in insurtech, healthtech, or other regulated industries. Familiarity with voice AI, LLM orchestration, or agentic workflow systems. Experience at an early-stage startup or in a founding engineering role.
