Our client, an enterprise fintech startup focused on the insurance industry, is seeking Backend Software Engineers (4–12 YOE) to join its growing team.
This is a high-impact role for a curious, highly autonomous engineer who wants to own the design and implementation of end-to-end workflows in a complex, high-stakes domain.

What you'll do:
- Build end-to-end workflows for insurance agencies, with a focus on automation and AI-driven solutions
- Integrate with fragmented and often low-tech systems, creating reliable and scalable infrastructure
- Work directly with customers to gather feedback, iterate quickly, and translate technical concepts into clear solutions
- Contribute to greenfield development, building on top of an existing browser automation layer
- Collaborate on system design and architecture to solve complex, real-world problems
What they're looking for:
- 4–12 years of backend engineering experience, ideally in startup environments
- Experience at early-stage companies (pre-Series D); founding engineer experience is a plus
- Background working in complex or low-tech industries (insurance, fintech, healthcare) preferred
- Proficiency with modern AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor)
- Experience with browser automation or web scraping is a plus
- Strong curiosity and willingness to engage directly with customers
This is an opportunity to build meaningful infrastructure at the intersection of AI, fintech, and insurance—while having real ownership and impact from day one.
