About the job
Location: Austin, TX Employment Type: 4 days In-Office Department: Engineering Salary: Top of market salary + equity
We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer on the growth team with experience building web applications and analyzing data to improve our customer’s experiences. This is a full-time, 4 day in-office position based in Austin, TX.
AS A SR SOFTWARE ENGINEER, GROWTH YOU WILL:
- Work across marketing, product, and engineering to build out end to end solutions for the customer's journey from initial contact through their first policies.

- Pragmatic: We prioritize impact and delivery. You balance speed and quality, making thoughtful trade-offs to solve problems effectively. You leverage off-the-shelf solutions so we don’t re-invent the wheel but understand when a custom solution is appropriate. You'll be deploying code to production within hours of starting and working with us to iteratively build solutions.
- Specific languages: We don't really care if you've worked in our stack before as long as you're happy to learn it. If you're sharp enough to be on this team, you're sharp enough to learn any language or framework quickly.
