Job Title

Founding Engineer

Salary

£60k-£90k + Equity

Company Description

Corgi – YC S24 full-stack AI insurance carrier

Job Description

Join the Strategic Projects team at a YC S24 startup rebuilding the $6 trillion insurance industry from scratch. As a founding engineer, you will own entire product surfaces, architecting AI-native systems that handle real-world risk and regulation. This is a high‑intensity role for builders who thrive on autonomy and extreme shipping speed.

Location

London, UK

Why this role is remarkable

  • Work at a hyper‑growth startup that recently raised a $108M Series A at a $630M valuation with over $40M in ARR.
  • Join an elite engineering culture alongside veterans from Google, Databricks, and Perplexity AI, moving at a pace that defines the industry's cutting edge.
  • Take true founding ownership of a licensed insurance carrier where your code directly manages millions in capital and disrupts 30‑year‑old legacy infrastructure.

What you will do

  • Architect and ship end‑to‑end systems using Python, TypeScript, Django Ninja, and React to automate underwriting and claims.
  • Collaborate with AI as a primary architectural partner to achieve order‑of‑magnitude improvements in development velocity and system capability.
  • Build compliant‑by‑design features that turn complex US insurance regulations into a scalable competitive moat for the platform.

The ideal candidate

  • 2–4 years of experience shipping production‑grade systems at high‑growth startups or top‑tier technology companies.
  • An AI‑native workflow where LLMs are used for complex architectural reasoning and rapid prototyping, not just basic code completion.
  • High‑ownership mentality with a track record of self‑initiated projects and the ability to thrive in high‑ambiguity, intense environments.

  • Step 4. Jack will make sure Jill considers you for this role.
  • Step 5. If Jill thinks you're a great fit and her client wants to meet you, they will make the introduction.
  • Step 6. If not, Jack will find you excellent alternatives.
