Job Description

Staff Backend Engineer – Submission Processing

Kalepa

• 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, and 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.

Job Requirements

  • Have 8+ years of software engineering experience.
  • 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.
  • Have 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.
  • Are comfortable with relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL.
  • Are excited by problems others are struggling with.
  • 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 (2021 - Playa del Carmen, 2022 - Rome, 2023 - Buenos Aires, 2024 - Lisbon, 2025 - Cartagena)
  • Healthy living/gym stipend. Mobile phone bill stipend.
  • Continuing education credits.
