About the role

We’re Hiring Hardcore Generalist Software Engineers

(with backend leanings)

We work onsite 7 days a week — not because we’re clocking hours, but because we’re addicted to momentum. The team is all ex-founders. We move fast, we ship fast, and we care about what actually works.


Our Stack

  • Go, Python, TypeScript
  • Postgres, Docker, AWS (nice to have)
  • GenAI tooling experience? Hell yes.

How We Work

We’re ruthlessly metrics-driven.
Every office has four live dashboards — including one in the bathroom.
If it moves, we measure it.

We’re going after insurance — a $2T+ industry (12% of U.S. GDP) still powered by faxes and middlemen.

Our mission: Make insurance radically cheaper and faster to deliver.

Think about if gas dropped to $0.50/gallon tomorrow —
groceries would be cheaper, logistics would shift, businesses would transform.
That’s the kind of cascading economic effect we’re chasing for insurance.


We Go Hard, But Keep It Weird

Interview Process

We keep it simple and real:

  1. 15-minute intro call
     Just to make sure there’s a vibe.
  2. **Onsite working session (2–3 days)**
     We fly you out, cover housing, and drop you into a real (and fun) challenge with the team.
     You’ll build with us, get to know us, and see exactly how we work.

No take-homes, no leetcode. Just good builders doing what they do best.
