  • Strong backend and product engineering skills, with experience shipping products end to end and a focus on user impact.

  • Experience working at an established company or an early-stage startup, and the ability to work independently with minimal onboarding.

  • A degree from a strong university or relevant startup experience.

  • Insurance or financial services experience is a plus.
