Infrastructure & Security Engineer

About the role

Axle is building the AI-native clearinghouse for insurance, unlocking access to a core financial data primitive that impacts almost every industry and transaction. Our mission is to completely transform the communication layer for insurance.

As an Infrastructure & Security Engineer at Axle, you'll play a critical role in building, scaling, and securing the systems that power our platform. Axle powers mission-critical insurance data extraction, validation, and verification — where getting things wrong has real-world consequences. You’ll be responsible for maintaining reliable, scalable infrastructure across compute, storage, and deployment systems and protecting sensitive insurance and customer data, securing our infrastructure, and embedding best-in-class security practices across the engineering organization.

We’re looking for individuals who think creatively about problems, keep up to date on the latest in AI research, and are excited about helping financial data reach full connectivity.

Our team is based in-person in New York City (Flatiron/NoMad).

Why you should consider joining

- We have a product loved by customers and being used in mission-critical flows at Fortune 500 banks and leading brands like Hertz, Avis, and Audi.

- We're punching well above our weight, supporting customer and revenue metrics with half the team size of other startups — everyone joining at this stage will have outsized impact.

- We're tackling unsolved problems at the intersection of complex data structuring, agentic workflows, and financial risk analysis.

- We've grown revenue 5x this year to multiple $millions ARR, with our growth continuing to accelerate.

- We're backed by world class investors, including Google (Gradient Ventures), YC, and leaders from Plaid and Cox Automotive.

- We care deeply about our team and provide great compensation and equity, full benefits & 401k, unlimited time-off, and plan an annual team offsite!

We're a lean team, and our customer base is growing too fast for us to keep up. We're looking for talented engineers to join our early team ahead of our next round and execute on an ambitious roadmap.

Impact

We're powering mission-critical insurance data extraction, validation, and verification at companies where if we get things wrong, there are real world impacts (e.g., denied lending applications, modified compliance statuses, etc.).

Here's a few of the complex problems you’ll be working on:

- Building industry-first evals for insurance data extractors and transformers

- Integrating context and understanding to standardize high-variability data points

- Understanding data management and hierarchy across overlapping data ingestors

- Orchestrating self-healing agents that automatically get better over time

Role

- Build and scale infrastructure: Design and maintain cloud infrastructure across compute, storage, and networking.
