Job Title

Founding Engineer

Company Description

Corgi - YC S24 full-stack AI insurance carrier

Job Description

Join the Strategic Projects team at a YC S24 startup rebuilding the $6 trillion insurance industry from scratch. As a founding engineer, you will own entire product surfaces, architecting AI-native systems that handle real-world risk and regulation. This is a high-intensity role for builders who thrive on autonomy and extreme shipping speed.

Location

London, UK

Why this role is remarkable

• Work at a hyper-growth startup that recently raised a $108M Series A at a $630M valuation with over $40M in ARR.
• Join an elite engineering culture alongside veterans from Google, Databricks, and Perplexity AI, moving at a pace that defines the industry's cutting edge.
• Take true founding ownership of a licensed insurance carrier where your code directly manages millions in capital and disrupts 30-year-old legacy infrastructure.

What you will do

• Architect and ship end-to-end systems using Python, TypeScript, Django Ninja, and React to automate underwriting and claims.
• Collaborate with AI as a primary architectural partner to achieve order-of-magnitude improvements in development velocity and system capability.
• Build compliant-by-design features that turn complex US insurance regulations into a scalable competitive moat for the platform.

The ideal candidate

• 2-4 years of experience shipping production-grade systems at high-growth startups or top-tier technology companies.
• An AI-native workflow where LLMs are used for complex architectural reasoning and rapid prototyping, not just basic code completion.
• High-ownership mentality with a track record of self-initiated projects and the ability to thrive in high-ambiguity, intense environments.
