  • Maintain production systems handling voice, email, and file-based workflows in regulated insurance environments

What they're looking for

  • TypeScript (primary production language)
  • SQL and PostgreSQL
  • AWS or GCP infrastructure and deployment
  • REST API design and backend architecture
  • Vector databases and document processing
  • Docker and containerization
  • AI/LLM agent infrastructure and orchestration
  • System reliability and observability patterns

Benefits

  • Equity in a well-funded, high-growth Y Combinator startup
  • On-site role in Los Angeles with consideration for NYC and San Francisco candidates
  • Relocation support available for qualified candidates
  • High-agency role with true end-to-end ownership and autonomy
