Staff Backend Engineer
Pubblicato il 28-09-2026 - WhyHireWrong? in Lazio
Insurance is a $7T global industry built on professional labor: underwriting, claims, pricing, operations, and distribution.
We're building AI that can perform that work - professional-grade systems for insurers that read, reason, decide, and act inside real workflows over long time horizons.
We start by augmenting professionals with the tools to succeed at their jobs.
That earns us the right to learn from real decisions, capture decision traces, and automate what can be automated successfully over time.
Our products are already in production with leading insurers, driving measurable outcomes and expanding across functions.
The opportunity is far broader than any single workflow - we're building the AI operating system for decision-making across insurance.
We're backed by leading investors, and our team brings experience from Facebook, Palantir, Google, Amazon, McKinsey, Mastercard, and Uber.
The role
We're looking for strong backend engineers who love building reliable systems around fragmented, high-value data.
As part of the Core Backend team, you'll work on the systems at the center of the business - designing services, data models, pipelines, and evaluation loops.
The goal isn't just cleaner data, but an intelligence layer that makes better, faster, and more explainable decisions.
You'll join a high-ownership team responsible for some of the company's most business-critical infrastructure.
Your work will make our data more complete, our decisions more transparent, and our products even more valuable.
What you bring
8+ years of software engineering experience
Hustle and grit - excellent at your craft and relentless in pursuing it
Full ownership of your work, driving projects to completion with minimal oversight
Proactive communication - surfacing blockers, asking the right questions, keeping stakeholders in the loop
Comfort with experimentation - testing ideas, measuring results, iterating quickly on problems no one has solved before
Strong fundamentals in system design, debugging, and problem-solving
Python (main stack), though we're open to strong candidates from other OO backgrounds
Experience with serverless technologies (Lambda, EC2), asynchronous workflows, and cloud environments
Comfort with relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL
Premio:
experience with LLMs/generative AI, distributed systems
What you'll get
Competitive salary based on experience level
Significant equity options package
Work with an ambitious, smart, global, and fun team transforming a $7T global industry
20 days of PTO a year
Global team offsites
Healthy living/gym stipend, mobile phone bill stipend
Continuing education credits
