Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer

About the role

Corgi (YC S24) is a full-stack AI-native insurance carrier building better insurance products and software across multiple verticals. We’re not a broker, so we underwrite and issue policies directly, with fewer handoffs and less friction.

We've raised $374M from Kindred, TCV, and others at a $2.6B valuation. We're hiring a senior software engineer for a new agentic product in real estate. You will be the first technical hire on it. We want someone who has built and operated 0->1 systems to a high standard of reliability and correctness, and who has shipped AI features in regulated industries.

You would be the technical voice in the room for a product we are building and help us define the architecture, the stack, and work with product and design on what to build and ship. You will be shipping constantly.

Responsibilities

• Own the data model for money movement and make it hold up under audit

• Build the agent layer that does real work in the product

• Build the ingestion pipeline that turns third-party documents and exports into structured records our users can trust

• Own the migration path for customers coming off incumbent systems

• Decide what our tests actually guarantee, and close the gap between green and correct

• Set the release process: what can ship, what needs a rollback plan, what needs a gate

• Help recruit and ramp the engineers who come after you

• What We're Looking For

• 3+ years shipping B2B or B2C products, with at least 3 of those in AI or fintech, insurtech, or health tech. Adjacent experience in accounting, payroll, or HR software accepted.

Requirements

• You have 3+ years building production systems at a high-growth startup or technically demanding environment in either fintech, insurtech, healthtech, payments, payroll, accounting, banking, or marketplaces with payouts or where the costs for failure is high

• You've owned services end to end, including the schema design, the API contract, the deployment, the on-call, and the deprecation

• You're comfortable working across the stack. You can ship a React workflow, a Node service, and a Python data pipeline in the same week without asking permission

• You're AI-Native and use modern AI tooling in your workflows

• You think clearly about tradeoffs and have good product sense. You can tell the difference between a problem worth automating and one worth not solving yet

• Strong SQL and relational modeling, and comfort running migrations against live data.

• You are comfortable being the only engineer. You can make a call, explain why, and move fast.

• High agency, high ownership, low drama

• Additional Preferences

• You have run a migration onto a live system and can talk about what went wrong

• You have built or maintained and reconciled between two systems of records

• You are strongly opinionated about not just what we build, but what we must deprioritize

• You’re an ex-founder

• Expectations

• In person. This role is on site with the team in one of our offices in SF/Chicago/NYC/London/Dallas.

• AI-native and velocity. You’re a power user of AI and you use it to execute with high velocity.

• High ownership. You will help decide what matters, defend the call, and ship.

• Collaborative. You will work collaboratively with XFNs to help define product requirements, design, and overall strategy.

• Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $150K - $275K USD

• Health, dental and vision, 401k with matching plan
