Staff Software Engineer (Full-Stack, Backend-leaning)

Jerry.ai is America’s first and only super app to radically simplify car ownership. They are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to build automation systems for insurance servicing tasks, optimize internal tools, and collaborate closely with product and data teams.

Responsibilities:

• Build automation systems that handle complex insurance servicing tasks end-to-end (policy endorsements, cancellations, document uploads, reinstatements) or reduce policy cancellations, improve renewals, and ensure users always have the best coverage
• Fast sprint cycles: ship new automations in 1–2 weeks on average
• Compose backend business logic that drives automation while respecting complex insurance carrier rules
• Design backend pipelines that sync customer policy data, deliver timely alerts, and power seamless re-shopping experiences
• Optimize and scale our internal tools (think: in-house DocuSign for servicing) to reduce agent intervention to nearly zero
• Collaborate closely with product, data, and engineering ops to anticipate churn and improve customer retention
• Work asynchronously across time zones, with minimal meetings but strong collaboration through Asana and Slack
• Continuously improve our backend systems, APIs, and microservice architecture

Requirements:

• At least 7 years full stack engineering experience building production-grade software, ideally prior experience building large scale distributed systems for a fast-growing consumer-facing software
• Strong foundations in data structures, algorithms, and systems design matter more than prior experience with our tech stack
• You enjoy tackling ambiguous problems, breaking them down into actionable code, and iterating quickly
• You take responsibility for end-to-end outcomes and continuously improve the systems you build
• Comfortable working asynchronously with a global team, with excellent communication skills
• You love learning, exploring new tools, and stepping outside your comfort zone to understand the bigger picture
