Kalepa
Role Description
We are looking for engineers who enjoy going deep on hard problems and owning end-to-end outcomes. As a Staff engineer on the Submission Processing team, you’ll work at the intersection of AI and backend engineering and have major ownership and agency:
- Design the systems
- Make architectural calls under ambiguity
- Play a key role in setting the technical direction for the team
You’ll be working on building and scaling LLM-based systems that process billions of highly unstructured data points on a daily basis, extract precise information, and surface insights that insurers rely on for high-stakes decisions. This is a problem the industry hasn't solved effectively yet, and you'll be working on cutting-edge challenges that require creativity and ambition. We're a small team where individual contributions have an outsized impact on both our technology and our business.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of software engineering experience
- Embody hustle and grit, excellent at your craft and relentless in pursuing it
- Take full ownership of your work and drive projects to completion with minimal oversight
- Communicate proactively, surfacing blockers, asking the right questions, keeping stakeholders in the loop
- Thrive on experimentation: comfortable testing ideas, measuring results, and iterating quickly on problems no one has solved before
- Strong fundamentals in system design, debugging, and problem-solving
- Experience with LLMs in production and understand what it takes to deploy them at scale
- Experience with AWS and serverless technologies (Lambda, EC2), asynchronous workflows, and cloud environments
- Know Python (our main stack), though we’re open to strong candidates from other OO backgrounds
- Comfortable with relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL
- Excited by problems others are struggling with
Requirements
- Bonus: experience with document pipelines and processing large amounts of data
Benefits
- Competitive salary (based on experience level)*
- Significant equity options package
- Work with an ambitious, smart, global, and fun team to transform a $7T global industry
- 20 days of PTO a year
- Global team offsites
- 100% covered PPO medical, 100% covered vision and dental for individuals and families
- Healthy living/gym stipend
- Mobile phone bill stipend
- Continuing education credits
- 401(k) plan with employer contribution (regardless of employee contribution)
