The role

This company is rebuilding the foundation of the world's largest industry – insurance – with AI-driven claims processing. They've reached multi seven-figure ARR in under a year, growing 50% MoM, and are backed by leading VCs, including one known for early investments in major AI companies. The team brings deep technical expertise from top universities and firms like Optiver, AMD, and Palantir.

This is a core backend role for a founder-archetype operator. You'll own the infrastructure, databases (PostgreSQL, vector DBs), and architecture that powers real-time claims processing at carrier scale. This isn't a ticket-taker role; you'll deploy to production on day one, set the bar for what gets shipped, and help hire your next teammate. You'll force solutions into existence, not wait for a spec.

The work

  • Design and scale core systems for real-time AI-driven claims processing.
  • Own the end-to-end infrastructure, architecture, and databases (PostgreSQL, vector DBs).
  • Ship production-grade code from day one, taking full responsibility for its performance and reliability.
  • Create specs, build features, and continuously scale the existing codebase to meet rapid growth.
  • Help define the engineering culture and raise the bar for technical excellence across the team.

What You Bring

  • 2+ years shipping production-grade backend Python.
  • You've owned core system design (infrastructure, databases like PostgreSQL/vector DBs, architecture) end-to-end. Not just contributed.
  • Expertise in cloud-native services (GCP/AWS, Docker) and APIs (REST/GraphQL). You can stand up services from scratch.
  • High agency. You force solutions into existence, even without a spec. You take full responsibility for your code in production.

Why apply through Dex

This is a rare, high-ownership role at a rapidly growing AI company, the kind that's often oversubscribed or hard to find. Apply through Dex to cut through the noise: get properly briefed on the full company context, skip cold-applying, and get matched to this role and others like it.
