We are looking for smart engineers who love to code, seek challenging problems, and appreciate recognition for excellent work.

Core Responsibilities:

As an engineer at Kalepa, you’ll work on real product and R&D systems at the intersection of software engineering and applied AI. You will contribute to backend services, data, and ML pipelines that support our product used by commercial insurance underwriters.

You’ll help build and improve systems that ingest, process, and reason over large volumes of structured and unstructured data, including documents, third-party sources, and model outputs. This is hands-on engineering work on problems that matter to the business, with ownership of features end to end.

You’ll collaborate closely with experienced full-stack, backend, ML, and platform engineers, and you’ll be expected to contribute to how production systems are designed, built, tested, and operated at scale. We’re a small team where individual contributions have an outsized impact on both our technology and our business.

Requirements:

You’ll Be a Good Fit If You:

  • Have approximately 1 year of professional software engineering experience building and shipping production systems
  • Have strong fundamentals in at least one programming language and know Python
  • Have a degree in computer science, mathematics, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Enjoy writing code and solving non-trivial technical problems
  • Are curious about AI, data, and real-world applications of machine learning
  • Take ownership and are comfortable working with ambiguity
  • Move fast, learn quickly, and value high standards
  • Appreciate direct feedback, meritocracy, and transparency

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary based on experience level*
  • Significant equity options package
  • Direct work on core systems at a fast-growing AI startup, with a steep learning curve
  • Fully remote work from Europe
  • Onsite team events in Warsaw and global team offsites
  • Real responsibility and production impact from day one
  • Mentorship from senior engineers
  • 20 days of PTO a year
  • Gym, phone, and learning stipend reimbursement

*The salary range listed is an estimate and will vary based on a variety of factors. Final compensation will be determined during the offer stage based on relevant experience, performance during the interview process, and geographic location, and may therefore differ from the posted range.

Kalepa (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.
