Policyme

Senior Software Engineer (Remote)

Job Description

Overview of the role
We’re on a mission to modernize insurance, making it simpler, more accessible, and customer-first. The insurance industry is a $1T market that’s remained largely untouched by the digital revolution, and PolicyMe is here to change that. As a remote-first, Toronto-based startup with big ambitions, we’re building the future of insurance in Canada and beyond.

We're building a groundbreaking new product line that will transform the insurance broker experience through AI and machine learning. As an AI-Driven Full Stack Engineer, you'll be part of a team charting new territory - designing and implementing intelligent systems that automate manual processes and unlock powerful data-driven insights.

You will work across the stack, contributing to front end, back end, and AI/ML initiatives, while also participating in architecture discussions, release planning, and company-wide engineering initiatives. Our core stack includes Python, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, n8n, LangChain/LangGraph and AWS, and we are always open to adopting new tools and technologies that help us deliver better results


What you'll be doing:
  • Leading the design and development of full stack features for our AI-powered web application using Python, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, and AWS
  • Defining the technical vision and architectural principles for AI/ML systems
  • Driving innovation by researching and prototyping cutting-edge AI technologies
  • Ensuring security, scalability, and observability best practices across cloud architecture
  • Work within a cross-functional environment partnering closely with product, design, and business teams to communicate technical designs/strategies
  • Serve as a role model for engineering standards and bring consistency across systems and processes while mentoring junior and intermediate engineers
  • Help drive sound technical decision-making across ambiguous, system-spanning problems

  • What we are looking for:
  • A strong technical background with 5+ years of experience in fullstack web development and production AI/ML systems
  • Deep expertise in AI/ML domains like NLP, computer vision, recommendation engines etc.
  • Proficiency with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, microservices
  • Proven ability to architect and lead end-to-end AI projects, including security best practices
  • Exceptional technical communication and knowledge sharing abilities
  • Track record of managing ambiguity and delivering innovative solutions
  • An appreciation for fast-paced startup environments and experience building foundational systems
  • Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous technical challenges and drive them to resolution with cross-functional teams
  • Strong development skills in React, Python, and Node, or equivalent technologies with the ability to ramp up quickly

  • Why join us:
  • Generous PTO - 20 vacation days
  • Access to stock options and a comprehensive benefits plan
  • A remote-first team with company paid, in-person socials and the option to work from our Toronto-based office
  • Resources to help your professional development, including an L&D budget, performance reviews twice a year and ongoing feedback to ensure you reach your highest potential
  • Work with an empathetic, high-performing team in a flexible, results-oriented environment
  • Compensation: The expected base salary range for this role is $135,000 - $160,000 CAD, based on experience. In addition, there is a competitive bonus program and opportunity for equity. We’ll walk through the details together during the interview.
