Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for a teammate who has taken ownership in the design of complex backend software systems — someone who has years of experience building software that interfaces with many other components, internal or external, via various forms of APIs
- You’re the right person for this role if you’re also excited to figure out what challenges we should solve next and to lead us in solving them
- 7+ years full-stack or backend engineering experience
- Advanced system design expertise
- SRE, DevOps, or DevSecOps experience or familiarity
- Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript-based ecosystems, preferably with PostgreSQL and/or Redis components
- Curiosity and enthusiasm for learning new skills on the job!
- Passion for building things from the ground up
- Dedication to the creation of a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. We’re building a community that cherishes unique perspectives and creates the conditions for every team member to thrive
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a critical engineer to join our small but fast-growing team
- We’re at a key inflection point in our company scaling, and need someone to help us take our infrastructure to the next level
- We know things change quickly at a startup our size
- Coding: Solving complex problems with high quality code. Not only coding but reviewing to maintain our coding standards
- We want you to help us chart a course to transform a trillion-dollar industry
- Architecture Design: Design and implement complex systems and solutions, ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance
- Technical Documentation: Create and maintain technical documentation, including system architecture diagrams, API documentation, and technical specifications
- Internal Ops Rotation: Participate in a rotation where you’ll be off sprint work but will instead provide technical expertise to help unblock customers, assist the our integrations team in building out our connections to insurance carrier APIs, and help support our engineering team but helping to identify ways to improve
- Development Environment Setup/(CI/CD): We are moving forward soon with splitting out some of our software process into smaller projects and repos. Someone to help develop that system that keeps local development environments in sync and easy to work with while still allowing us to test deploy as well
Our take
Brokerages selling commercial insurance process large numbers of complex transactions, all occurring across disconnected software systems. Herald uses AI to help brokerages extract, process and load data from a wide variety of formats, centralising processing and accelerating their efficiency.
Herald’s infrastructure works as a single API that can lift data from PDFs, spreadsheets and various information-holding software. It can be integrated into existing brokerage workflows, including both CRM systems and Agency Management software.
This dedication to flexibility and scalability reflects Herald’s mission to simplify insurance purchasing, both for the customer and the brokerage. With impressive funding at its back, it continues to work to enhance its AI platform and streamline workflows.
