- Production engineering experience, with a strong balance of hands-on coding and customer-facing scoping and requirements gathering.
- Full-stack proficiency and experience shipping software features or automations for enterprise customers.
- Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript.
- Experience at a venture-backed startup and comfort working in a fast-moving environment.
- Strong customer communication, ownership, and ability to switch between customer conversations and focused coding.
- Experience building or deploying AI, machine learning, or LLM-powered workflows in production is a plus.
- Insurance or financial services experience is a plus, as is a strong technical education background.
