We are looking for smart engineers who love to code, seek challenging problems, and appreciate recognition for excellent work. As part of the infrastructure team, you will work on the infrastructure and tooling that power our core platform. You’ll maintain CI/CD pipelines, automate operational workflows, and ensure we stay secure and compliant to the industry standards. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include improving infrastructure performance and reliability, monitoring and optimizing system cost, and collaborating with engineering teams to standardize environments and deployment patterns. You’ll help to maintain observability and incident response processes, and ensure the scalability of our cloud-based systems as we continue to grow.
You'll collaborate with a global team of full-stack, data, AI, and DevOps engineers to build scalable backend solutions as we continue to grow. We're a small team where individual contributions have an outsized impact on both our technology and our business.
You'll be right at home if you:
- Have 8+ years of software engineering or DevOps experience, ideally with time spent working on infrastructure, performance, security, or compliance.
- You're excellent at your craft and relentless in pursuing it.
- Take full ownership of your work and drive projects to completion with minimal oversight.
- Communicate proactively, surfacing blockers, asking the right questions, keeping stakeholders in the loop.
- Thrive on experimentation: you're comfortable testing ideas, measuring results, and iterating quickly on problems no one has solved before.
- Have strong fundamentals in system design, debugging, and problem-solving.
- Know Python (our main stack), though we're open to strong candidates from other OO backgrounds.
- Have experience with serverless technologies (Lambda, EC2), asynchronous workflows, and cloud environments.
- Have strong knowledge of relational databases and their performance tuning, ideally PostgreSQL.
- Know terraform, IaaC best practices, Docker or similar tools.
- Bonus: experience with LLMs/generative AI, distributed systems
What you’ll get:
- Competitive salary (based on experience level).
- Significant equity options package.
- Work with an ambitious, smart, global, and fun team to transform a $7T global industry.
- 20 days of PTO a year.
- Global team offsites (2024 - Lisbon, 2025 - Cartagena).
- 100% covered medical, 100% covered vision and dental for individuals and families.
- Healthy living/gym stipend. Mobile phone bill stipend.
- Continuing education credits.
- 401(k) plan with employer contribution (regardless of employee contribution)

Kalepa
View Company ProfileKalepa (operating under kalepa.com, legally Kalepa Corporation) is the premier, enterprise-grade professional AI underwriting platform, commercial insurtech pioneer, and automated workflow orchestration powerhouse engineered to act as the definitive, high-velocity submission processing, risk evaluation, and portfolio steering layer for top-tier commercial insurers, managing general agents (MGAs), and global reinsurance giants. Founded by technology and operational data veterans, the company completely eliminates the severe systemic friction of modern commercial insurance risk assessment—where underwriters lose critical premium momentum, drown in vast amounts of unstructured text across hundreds of disconnected document types, and make high-stakes pricing choices under severe information ambiguity—by deploying a sophisticated, context-aware AI operating matrix. Moving far beyond traditional, passive keyword-matching optical character recognition (OCR) tools or generic large language models (LLMs) that lack deep industry context, Kalepa natively unifies autonomous document parsing (handling ACORD forms, schedules of values, and complex loss runs), real-time hazard/fraud exposure flagging, predictive pricing model integrations, and structured quote-and-binder creation into a single high-availability, professional-grade workspace. Trusted by industry titans and specialist syndicates—including Berkley, Munich Re Specialty, Bowhead, Canopius, Paragon, and Secura—the platform delivers massive, empirically validated financial performance, including a 40% reduction in quote turnaround timelines, a 5% to 15% improvement in absolute bind rates, and a 960 basis point improvement in combined loss-to-premium ratios. Experiencing rapid market expansion, the high-growth insurtech platform has secured over $16 million in elite institutional venture financing across multiple capital iterations, anchored by foundational investments from tier-one investment houses including IA Ventures, Inspired Capital, and prominent strategic operators. Under the hood, its technology core utilizes advanced LLM-based ingestion pipelines, distributed asynchronous serverless processing frameworks, automated sanctions and compliance screening modules, and robust data enrichment engines designed to ingest billions of highly unstructured public domain and third-party data points daily, delivering an explainable, decision-ready \"single pane of glass\" view for complex risk factors without losing field operational velocity. What sets Kalepa apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing subjective, slow manual submission sorting with absolute underwriting predictability, explicit risk clarity, and rapid premium generation velocity; by bridging the gap between performance-intensive machine learning data analysis and front-end underwriting agility, the enterprise remains the definitive cornerstone of modern algorithmic risk management and global insurance technology transformation.
