Staff Software Engineer

Steadily is an insurance technology company that specializes in rental property insurance for landlords. We’re four years old, just over 150 people, manage $20B in risk, and are intent on becoming the world’s best and largest insurer of rental properties.

We exist to deliver fast, affordable insurance and to pay claims quickly and fairly. To do that, we hire the best engineers, actuaries, sales, and service people in the country to build the experience that we’d want if we were the client.

We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer with experience building web applications and service oriented architecture to help us build the core of our stack.

What You Could Do:

• Build a mobile experience for people to buy insurance that is so simple/intuitive that your least-tech savvy relative with a flip-phone could use it without help

• Create a claim app that uses phone camera and sensors to document the damage smartly

• Design rating engines for calculating how much an insurance policy should cost

• Combine property intelligence APIs sources to flag flood, fire, and vandalism risks

What You'll Bring:

• Experienced: This isn't your first rodeo. There's no specific minimum number of years requirement, but we expect you to be able to dive into a complex codebase without too much spin-up. Past experience as a team lead is definitely a plus.

• Builder: You like the product-side of engineering and have thoughtful opinions on what the user experience should be. You're not the type of engineer who wants a fully-fleshed out spec thrown over the wall for you to code.

• Pragmatic: We prioritize impact and delivery. You balance speed and quality, making thoughtful trade-offs to solve problems effectively. You leverage off-the-shelf solutions so we don’t re-invent the wheel but understand when a custom solution is appropriate. You'll be deploying code to production within hours of starting and working with us to iteratively build solutions.

• Specific languages: We don't really care if you've worked in our stack before as long as you're happy to learn it. If you're sharp enough to be on this team, you're sharp enough to learn any language or framework quickly.

Our Stack and Tools:

• Python 3 / Kotlin

• Typescript

• React (Next.js)

• Django / FastAPI

• Postgres

• Kafka (we build on an event driven architecture)

• AWS (EKS)

• Github Actions with a full CI/CD Pipeline

Compensation and Benefits:

• Total compensation around $400,000

• Salary of $220,000 - $250,000 annually

• Equity in the company

• 3 weeks PTO plus six federal holidays

• Health insurance including Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Disability, HSA, FSA

• 401K

• In office 4 days a week with a bucket of WFH days available

• Free snacks & regular team lunches

Location:

• Austin, TX

• Hybrid work schedule - 4 days in-office, 1 days WFH

• You'll be in good company. Our founders have three successful startups under their belt and have recruited a stellar team to match.
