Requirements and responsibilities
Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.
Why you will (or won’t) like working here:
- Ownership: You’ll report directly to our co-founder/CTO, who is actively involved in product implementation. There is no red tape, no slow-moving processes, and no layers of approvals needed. If you have an idea, you can pitch it, build it, and see it live in days.
- Stellar team: We have a very high bar for talent, as a result, we have a small but mighty team that can move fast and accomplish a lot. You will work with likeminded peers who are equally passionate and who care intensely about what they do.
- Hands-on: Many of our TLMs are ex-founders, they like getting their hands dirty and solving difficult problems. You will spend 80% of your time doing hands-on technical work (e.g. transitioning our legacy automation systems into a more decoupled, scalable architecture).
- Volume of customer data: We are a consumer-facing business (5M+ customers) and have access to a massive amount of customer data across behaviours like driving/telematics, shopping, payment, etc. which helps guide our product, technical and business decisions.
What you’ll own:
- Phase 1: You’ll be deep in the code, learning both the technical and business sides of our core product (insurance is very complex and every insurance provider uses different logic and behaves differently). Then you will lead incremental refactoring of our existing automation systems: designing and implementing new standards and pairing with engineers to ensure the new system is predictable and testable.
- Phase 2: As the architecture stabilizes, you’ll shift towards using an AI-first approach to building the next generation of internal tools that will allow us to grow from 5M to 50M users.
Who you are:
- A Player Coach: You likely founded a company or were a lead architect at an early stage startup. You are a builder at heart and like being in the trenches alongside your team.
- A Detective: You are obsessed with success rates. You love hunting for edge cases in complex business logic and won't stop until you understand exactly why a script failed.
- A Systems Thinker: You have a high bar for system design, especially for offline, asynchronous jobs. You understand that async work requires much stricter standards for decoupling, state management, and failure retry logic than synchronous online systems.
