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
- Working within a cross-functional environment, partnering closely with product, design, and business teams to communicate technical designs/strategies
- Serving as a role model for engineering standards and bringing consistency across systems and processes while mentoring junior and intermediate engineers
- Helping 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 full-stack web development and production AI/ML systems
- Deep expertise in AI/ML domains like NLP, computer vision, recommendation engines
- 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
- A comprehensive benefits plan with premiums paid in full by PolicyMe
- Investment in your professional development, including an L&D budget, AI tooling budget, performance reviews twice a year, and ongoing feedback
- An extremely high-performing, low-ego, remote-first team disrupting an old industry
- Option to work from home or our Toronto-based office (bonus: we cover the costs to bring all our employees in-person twice a year for experiential socials!)
- Access to stock options based on performance

PolicyMe
View Company ProfilePolicyMe is a rapidly growing Canadian InsurTech company that is fundamentally disrupting the traditional life insurance industry. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, the company was built to strip away the complexity, hidden fees, and aggressive upselling of legacy insurance brokers. Under the hood, PolicyMe operates a fully digital, direct-to-consumer platform offering highly affordable term life and critical illness insurance. By leveraging advanced algorithmic underwriting, the platform can process applications in real-time, granting instant approvals to the majority of users and eliminating the need for tedious medical exams or blood tests. Their primary target audience includes young families, new homeowners, and modern parents across Canada who desperately need straightforward financial protection without the hassle of a weeks-long paper process. What sets PolicyMe apart in the archaic financial services sector is its radical transparency, its user-centric UX that reduces the application to just 20 minutes, and its highly efficient operating model that passes operational savings directly to the consumer—often resulting in rates significantly cheaper than traditional legacy providers.
