About Eventual Eventual is a well-funded https://fortune.com/2025/07/22/eventual-a-climate-fintech-raises-7-5-million-seed-round-from-alleycorp-and-upfront-ventures/ AI fintech startup on a mission to improve housing affordability for hundreds of millions of Americans. We use AI and proprietary data to build (i) software and (ii) novel embedded financial products to bring better predictability to housing operating expenses. Today, we're focused on emerging problems in the cost of insuring US property under changing climate, inflation, and regulatory dynamics.
Americans are finding meaningful value from Eventual's approach to these problems, with customers in 39 US states and exponential revenue growth. Thousands of B2B2C distribution partners, primarily comprising financial services professionals and platforms, help to scale our mission.
We’re a small, high-energy team building in-person in NYC and LA.

The Role We're looking for a software engineer who's excited to build and ship across the full stack. You'll work closely with design, data science, and product to deliver features end-to-end, from backend APIs and data pipelines to frontend interfaces our customers use every day. It's a high-ownership role with real impact on a live product.
What You'll Do
- Build and maintain backend services and APIs in FastAPI and PostgreSQL
- Develop frontend components and flows in Next.js and Tailwind
- Translate Figma designs into responsive, accessible interfaces
- Integrate with external services including Stripe, Auth0, and Canopy Connect
- Own features end-to-end: design, build, test, deploy, support
- Help shape engineering practices and architecture as the team scales
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience building and shipping production software
- Comfortable working across the stack, or strong in one area with willingness to stretch
- Solid fundamentals in Python and/or TypeScript or equivalent
- Experience with relational databases and clean API design
- Works well with autonomy and takes ownership over end-to-end delivery
- Bonus: experience at an early-stage company or on a 0→1 product
Why Join Us
- Meaningful equity and a chance to shape our trajectory early
- A product already in use by real customers, with real stakes
- A small, close-knit team that values speed, craft, and clear thinking
- Space to grow into leadership or specialize as we scale
