About the role

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
