Job details:
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Software Engineer - Backend/Fullstack based in India.
This is an early-team engineering opportunity for a senior builder who wants substantial ownership over a rapidly scaling AI product.
You’ll help develop and scale core backend systems that power AI-driven solutions for the insurance industry.
The role combines hands-on Python development with architectural decision-making and product ownership.
You’ll work closely with founders and experienced AI engineers to shape technical direction and build high-impact capabilities from the ground up.
The environment is fast-moving, highly autonomous, and designed for engineers who thrive on solving complex problems.
You’ll have the opportunity to influence both the technology and engineering culture as the organization continues to scale.
This is an ideal role for someone with a founder’s mindset who wants to build transformative products rather than simply maintain existing systems.
Accountabilities
- Build and scale core products: Develop backend and fullstack capabilities that are performant, reliable, scalable, and continuously improving.
- Own backend architecture: Take significant ownership of backend systems and services, primarily using Python, while making thoughtful decisions around architecture, scalability, and maintainability.
- Drive technical direction: Partner directly with founders and senior technical leaders to define engineering priorities, architectural approaches, and the technical roadmap.
- Deliver end-to-end solutions: Translate product and business requirements into robust technical implementations, taking ownership from initial design through deployment and iteration.
- Solve complex engineering challenges: Tackle difficult problems across backend infrastructure, AI-enabled product functionality, system performance, and reliability.
- Operate with high ownership: Proactively identify opportunities, resolve technical issues, and take responsibility for meaningful portions of the product without requiring extensive direction.
- Collaborate across disciplines: Work closely with engineers, AI specialists, product stakeholders, and company leadership in a highly collaborative environment.
- Contribute to engineering culture: Help establish strong development practices, technical standards, and a culture centered on speed, quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Requirements
- Professional experience: 5+ years of experience building and shipping software products in professional engineering environments.
- Backend expertise: Strong experience designing and developing backend systems, with significant hands-on experience in Python preferred.
- Product engineering: Demonstrated ability to build production-quality software and contribute across the product development lifecycle.
- Technical ownership: Comfortable taking ownership of substantial systems, making architectural decisions, and operating with limited supervision.
- Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly and collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders.
- Problem-solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a pragmatic approach to tackling ambiguous and technically challenging problems.
- Startup mindset: Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-output environment where priorities evolve quickly and engineers are expected to make an outsized impact.
- Founder’s mindset: Demonstrated drive, resilience, initiative, and willingness to take responsibility beyond narrowly defined responsibilities.
- B2B SaaS experience: Experience building B2B SaaS products is a plus.
- 0-to-1 experience: Previous experience taking products or major features from concept to production is highly desirable.
- Fullstack capabilities: Broader frontend or fullstack experience is a bonus, particularly for engineers interested in contributing across the product stack.
Benefits
- Opportunity to join an early engineering team during a period of rapid growth.
- Significant ownership and autonomy over important areas of the product and technology stack.
- Direct collaboration with founders and highly experienced AI and engineering professionals.
- Exposure to cutting-edge AI technologies and scalable backend engineering challenges.
- Opportunity to work on products transforming a large, globally significant insurance market.
- High-impact environment where individual contributions can materially influence product and company direction.
- Fast-paced culture built around ownership, initiative, technical excellence, and continuous learning.
- Opportunity to help shape engineering culture and technical standards as the team grows.
- Strong growth potential for engineers who want to expand their responsibilities and operate with a founder-like mindset.
- Location: India, with the opportunity to work in a highly ambitious technology environment.
