Job Description
Senior Backend Engineer – Submission Processing Team
Kalepa
• We are looking for smart engineers who love to code, seek challenging problems, and appreciate recognition for excellent work. • As part of the Submission Processing team, you will work at the intersection of AI and backend engineering - this is core R&D work, not routine development. • Your day-to-day will involve building LLM-based solutions that process millions of insurance documents at scale, extracting precise information about companies and synthesizing it into a complete picture of the insured. • You'll collaborate with a global team of full-stack, data, ML, and DevOps engineers to build scalable backend solutions as we continue to grow. • We're a small team where individual contributions have an outsized impact on both our technology and our business.
Job Requirements
- Have 5+ years of software engineering experience with deep Python expertise.
- Embody hustle and grit, you're 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: you're comfortable testing ideas, measuring results, and iterating quickly on problems no one has solved before.
- Have strong fundamentals in system design, debugging, and problem-solving.
- Have worked with LLMs in production and understand what it takes to deploy them at scale.
- Are fluent with coding agents and AI-assisted development - you don't just tolerate AI tools, you actively push their boundaries.
- Have experience with AWS and serverless technologies (Lambda, EC2), asynchronous workflows, and cloud environments.
- Are comfortable with relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL.
- Are excited by R&D and want to solve problems others are still struggling with.
Benefits
- Competitive salary (based on experience level).
- Significant equity options package.
- 401(k) plan with employer contribution (regardless of employee contribution)
- Excellent benefits: 100% covered medical, 100% covered vision and dental, and others.
- Work with an ambitious, smart, global, and fun team to transform a $1T global industry.
- 20 days of PTO a year.
- Global team offsites (2021 - Playa del Carmen, 2022 - Rome, 2023 - Buenos Aires, 2024 - Lisbon)
- Healthy living/gym stipend. Mobile phone bill stipend.
- Continuing education credits.
