Software Engineer (Applied AI)

About the role

About Euphoric:

Euphoric builds AI-first employee benefits administration software for the world’s largest and most prestigious employers. Born out of Peppy Health — a fast-growing, category-defining Series B startup — we spun out in May 2025 to tackle a far bigger opportunity.

Global employers spend $3–5 trillion on benefits every year. It’s their second-largest cost after payroll — yet the entire category is still running on legacy systems and outdated assumptions. The space is primed for transformation: despite its scale, it’s been almost completely overlooked by AI-first startups. Incumbents — including one U.S. heavyweight with $2B+ in annual revenue — are constrained by archaic tech stacks and can’t move fast enough to innovate.

And this isn’t just a massive market — it’s genuine “tech for good.” Smarter benefits administration, richer analytics, and clearer communication have the power to directly improve the everyday lives, wellbeing, and financial security of millions of employees worldwide.

We’re a sharp, high-velocity team with bold ambitions, obsessed with building category-defining technology and partnering with exceptional people who want their work to truly matter.

We closed significant seed rounds in October 2025 & May 2026 and are building from a position of strength with a long cash runway. We've already secured contracts with several of the world's largest enterprises and are now preparing for rapid expansion as we scale the platform globally.

The role:

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to bring their ambition, creativity, and technical prowess to join our high-powered team to build the technology that powers the world’s first lovable, AI-native benefits platform.

You’ll have real ownership, big targets, and a chance to help shape both the work you do and the company in general. We care less about traditional career paths and more about raw talent, bias for action, and how much fire you bring.

What you’ll do:

- Build AI-first features end-to-end: You’ll contribute to the design, deployment, and iteration of our next-generation benefits platform features that leverage personalization, experimentation, and AI/ML methods (e.g. agents/LLMs, recommender systems, reinforcement learning) to enhance user experience in a meaningful business domain.

- Contribute across the tech stack: You’ll work in React (JavaScript/TypeScript) on the frontend and Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy) on the backend, shipping production-ready code and user-facing features in addition to innovative ML work.

- Live on the cutting edge of AI tooling: You’ll help push the boundary of what’s feasible with modern AI-powered software development tools (Cursor, Windsurf), keep up with the regular drumbeat of AI advances, and find new and exciting ways to build and explore new features faster.

- Participate in a fast-paced iterative environment: Collaborate closely with design, product, and beyond to deliver and iterate on impressive features and prototypes at world-class pace.
