About this role

As a Founding Engineer at Truvo, you’ll work across our product and our backend and infrastructure, with full freedom in how you build and full ownership of the decisions you make. This role is in person at our office in Soho, New York City, 6 days a week.

About this role

Insurance is a $10T market that still runs on phone calls and legacy software. Truvo is building the first autonomous consumer insurance broker with a single goal: enabling Americans to never worry about insurance again.

We work with 50+ (soon 100+) carriers like GEICO, Root and Lemonade to quote, bind, and service policies across auto, home, pet, and more.

We're a small team that works six days a week in-person in Soho, NYC. We care about winning, not performing.

What you might work on (product)

  • AI agents for quoting, binding, and servicing insurance policies
  • Our consumer web, mobile, and agentic apps
  • Truvo OS, our internal system that unifies 20+ legacy insurtech systems into a single platform, currently used by our internal sales team
  • Truvo Platform, our public API and developer portal, which embeds in fintech apps, property management software, and more

What you might work on (backend and infra)

  • API integrations with the largest insurance companies in the US
  • DevEx: building and maintaining the infra that lets us ship fast and safely
  • Voice AI infra, so we can interact with customers at scale
  • Data warehouse infra and ETL pipelines for financial industry and consumer data
  • Security, compliance, and privacy, keeping households’ data safe in a heavily regulated industry

How we engineer

  • We aggressively improve and experiment with our internal tooling, testing, and CI so we can ship quickly and safely, on the order of hundreds of production changes per day
  • You have full freedom (unlimited token budget, no required approvals) and full responsibility for your decisions and their consequences
  • We build self-improving systems, going after root causes and customer pain over one-off bugs and features
