Founding Backend Engineer – Plum Personal

About the role

This isn't a role where you'll inherit an established system, work on isolated tickets, or simply maintain existing services. You'll be among the early engineers shaping the technology, architecture, and backend foundations of a new consumer product. You'll own critical backend services, APIs, integrations, and AI-powered workflows across the insurance journey.

What you'll do

• Build from 0→1: Design and develop the backend foundations for a new consumer insurance business, taking ideas from initial prototypes to production-ready systems
• Own the backend: Build and maintain services, APIs, data models, and integrations that power the end-to-end insurance journey
• Build AI-powered workflows: Experiment with LLMs, generative AI, and AI-driven workflows, taking them beyond prototypes into reliable production systems
• Build for reliability: Make thoughtful engineering decisions around scalability, performance, debugging, observability, and system reliability
• You Might Be the One If

What you need

• LLMs
