About the role

Own major product surfaces on Handle's agent platform. You'll set technical direction, architect core systems, and ship high-leverage work end-to-end alongside a small team.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and evolve full-stack systems across Handle's agent platform
  • Architect scalable services that process thousands of insurance workflows daily
  • Set technical direction and raise the bar on code quality, testing, and reliability
  • Mentor teammates and help grow a strong engineering culture as the team scales
  • Participate in on-call and take ownership of production systems end-to-end

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Deep experience building products on modern stacks, such as TypeScript, React/Next.js, Python, or similar
  • Experience designing, operating, and debugging systems in production
  • Experience building with LLMs, agent frameworks, or AI-native products — side projects count
  • Solid understanding of relational databases, data modeling, and API design
  • Excellent communication and a strong track record of shipping high-quality software

You don't need to check every box — if most of this resonates, apply.

What we look for

  • Creativity — Finding the simple, surprising solution.
  • High agency — Bias to act — finding a path through ambiguity instead of waiting for one.
  • Ownership — Accountable for outcomes, not just outputs.
  • Craft — Love for building carefully crafted products for users.

Nice to have

  • Background in insurance, fintech, or other regulated industries
  • Previous early-stage startup experience (Series A or earlier)
  • Contributions to open-source projects or technical writing

Compensation

$200,000 – $280,000 + equity
