Senior Software Engineer

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
