San Francisco, United States Rockstar Full time

Rockstar is recruiting for an innovative technology company that is revolutionizing the insurance industry. Our client has developed a cloud-native, customizable, and centralized producer management and compensation system tailored to meet the specific needs of insurance carriers and their distribution partners. Backed by notable investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Liquid 2 Ventures, they are focused on unlocking growth opportunities for their customers by providing the flexibility and insights necessary to manage commissions as a revenue driver.

About the Company

Our client is on a mission to overhaul the insurance industry’s technology and data infrastructure. They believe that existing solutions are outdated, inflexible, and insufficient to meet the needs of innovative insurance carriers and their distribution partners.

Their solution is a customizable, easy-to-use, and centralized producer management and compensation system that is purpose-built for the insurance industry. By using their cloud-native platform, carriers and their distribution partners can free themselves from operational constraints imposed by legacy software, static compensation structures, and manual processes. The platform unlocks growth opportunities by providing customers with the flexibility and insights needed to manage commissions as a revenue driver, and by enabling better engagement and retention of agents through a mobile-first agent app.

The company has raised a seed round from notable investors, including Andreessen Horowitz and Liquid 2 Ventures, to achieve their mission.

Engineering at the Company

The company is, at its core, a technology-driven organization building the best team. They are seeking engineers who are excited to be part of their early journey and want to help build a transformational company. The team is cross-functional and is looking for individuals with a broad set of technical skills eager to tackle a wide range of engineering challenges. They value ownership and look for engineers who take pride in their work and show an aptitude for rapid learning. As an early employee, you will work with a nimble, talented team and have a significant, long-term impact on the company’s technical design and engineering culture.

The team is inclusive, transparent, and takes large ownership in driving features from 0 to 1. As part of the engineering team, you will:

  • Collaborate: Work closely with product and design to ensure expectations and deliverables are met.
  • Attain Technical Alignment: Clearly communicate technical concepts via concise technical specs for internal feedback and external buy-in.
  • Optimize Performance: Identify and fix performance bottlenecks, improve application performance, and ensure the application can handle high traffic and load.
  • Ensure Security: Implement security measures to protect the application from attacks and ensure that user data is secure.

Tech stack: Golang / TypeScript / Docker / React / Tailwind / AWS / Git

About the Role

The company is looking to expand its founding engineering team. They are searching for someone who is equally passionate about developing robust APIs that stand the test of time and about building innovative solutions to solve immediate customer pain points—whether through SQL queries, hacky scripts, or small services.

Your Responsibilities
  • Manage Data: Design, implement, and maintain data schemas to ensure data is stored and accessed efficiently.
  • Design Sensible APIs: Implement and deploy APIs that balance business concerns (ship quickly), simplicity (satisfy short-term requirements), and flexibility (adaptable to a long-term vision).
  • Code: Develop backend applications using Golang to build business logic and define workflows utilizing Temporal. Develop frontend features in TypeScript using React.
Your Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience as a backend and/or full-stack engineer
  • Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles
  • Expert-level knowledge of Golang programming language and ecosystem
  • Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies like Docker and Kubernetes
  • Experience working with Git and writing technical specs
  • Experience working with gRPC and Protocol Buffers
  • Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in Computer Science or another STEM field (or equivalent work experience)
  • An entrepreneurial spirit—you have or have always wanted to start a company
Bonus Points
  • Experience at an early stage (Seed or Series A) company, or in the insurance industry
  • Familiarity with TypeScript / React or similar frameworks
  • Experience managing ETL data pipelines
  • Experience with general ledgers and double-entry accounting
  • Experience developing mobile applications
Benefits
  • Competitive salary and equity, with a 10-year exercise window for stock options
  • Remote-first work culture
  • Quarterly offsites for team bonding
  • Unlimited PTO with 4 weeks recommended per year
  • Top-notch health, dental, and vision insurance subsidized by the company
