• Workflow Automation & LLM Integration: Leverage your knowledge of workflow automation and Large Language Models to design and implement intelligent workflows that enhance productivity in the insurance industry.
• Scalability & Performance: Ensure our platform is stable, scalable, and optimized for growth—establishing best practices and guiding architectural decisions.

• Rapid Iteration: Actively contribute in a startup environment by testing hypotheses quickly, learning from failures, and celebrating successes.

Qualifications

• Back-end: Strong knowledge of TypeScript/Node and/or Python/FastAPI.
