Forward Deployed Software Engineer

As we scale, we’re building a team shaping the future of commercial underwriting. Join us in modernizing commercial insurance with modern AI.

Role Overview: We are looking for a Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDSE) who thrives at the intersection of high-level architecture and deep-stack technical execution. This isn't a "one-off" integration role. You are a hybrid of a software engineer, product strategist, and technical consultant. You will embed with our most strategic customers to solve their most complex problems. However, your mission is dual-purpose: while you deliver immediate value to the customer, you are simultaneously acting as a product scout. You will identify patterns in customer needs and translate those into scalable, core features for our SaaS platform.

What You'll be Doing:

* Lead the design and implementation of new features in our core SaaS product. You aren't just building for one user; you are building for the platform.
* Work across the entire stack, from optimizing database queries and API endpoints to crafting intuitive UI/UX.
* Architect production-ready integrations and workflows. You will lead technical workshops with stakeholders to define "future state" solutions.
* Write high-quality, type-safe, and maintainable code in TypeScript, leveraging modern React and Next.js patterns for performance and scalability.
* Prevent "bespoke bloat." Identify universal customer needs and collaborate with product and engineering teams to bake those into the core technical direction.
* Contribute to CI/CD, testing, and performance monitoring to ensure the stability and reliability of your deployments.
* Mentor teammates and establish engineering best practices to level up the entire team’s output.

Who You Are:

* You think in terms of scalability. When you build a solution for one customer, you’re already thinking about how it could benefit the next ten.
* You take 100% ownership of the success of your deployments. You don't wait for a ticket; you find the bottleneck and fix it.
* You are as comfortable whiteboarding a system diagram for a CTO as you are submitting a pull request for a mission-critical API endpoint.

Experience Requirements:

* 7+ years of professional experience in full-stack or frontend development, specifically within SaaS products or startup environments.
* Strong coder with shown proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, C++, or similar.
* Hands-on experience with Next.js App Router (server components, layouts, streaming, caching).
* Experience with tRPC or equivalent type-safe API frameworks.
* Experience implementing complex, data-heavy views with Tailwind and component libraries (shadcn/ui, Mantine, etc.). Background in UI/UX design or working closely with designers is highly preferred.
* Ability to design scalable systems and a solid understanding of frontend performance, state management, and accessibility.
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to work autonomously, acting as a consultant/partner to our customers while remaining accountable for deliverables.
* Familiarity with insurance and underwriting operations, gained through prior work in insurtech or with carriers, MGAs, or brokers
* Ability and interest to travel up to 20% as needed to customer sites.
