Software Engineer, Full Stack

We're a team of technologists and insurance enthusiasts, bridging the two worlds together. Check out our team page to meet some of us!

We're looking for a talented software engineer who's passionate about what we're building and ready to do the best work of their career. You thrive on ownership, drive results, and care deeply about both technical excellence and customer impact.

You aren't afraid of ambiguity, and it may even excite you

You enjoy shipping product every day (maybe multiple times a day) while maintaining high quality standards

You enjoy wearing multiple hats while solving problems; as an engineer, product manager, and designer

You take end-to-end ownership of features and systems, from conception through release

You care about the built-world and how to improve construction safety and productivity

You care about others' growth and welcome mentoring other engineers — you've led or been a major contributor on significant projects

You have strong opinions, weakly held — you advocate for your ideas but adapt when presented with better solutions

You communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

You have experience working with Javascript/Typescript (backend and/or frontend)

You have at least 5+ years of working experience (preferably as a full-stack engineer) with a track record of delivering high-impact products

Shepherd's platform consists of three primary elements: data collection, automated underwriting, and policy administration.

You will lead major initiatives and own a large area of Shepherd's product experience, in each vertical while driving technical decisions for your domain

You will work across the stack, even across different disciplines (e.g. underwriting, design, product management)

You will play an integral role in building our culture as the company grows and mentor other engineers as we scale the team

You will balance innovation with pragmatic delivery — staying current with emerging tech while shipping quality products

You will contribute to product strategy and architectural decisions, not just implementation

You will collaborate closely with PM, Mo (CTO) and the insurance team (underwriters, actuaries and more!)
