Node.js developer $$

We are looking for a Node.js Engineer to join a fast-growing startup building AI-driven automation solutions for the insurance industry.

US-based early-stage startup in the insurance domain operates as an aggregator platform that helps users find optimal insurance solutions across providers, while also developing a loss prevention direction.

The product is not legacy - it has been built from scratch by the CTO and is now entering a scaling phase. A key focus area is AI and automation - building workflows, integrating AI agents, and optimizing processes across the platform.

Location: Remote 
Working Hours: Partial overlap with US (Boston) - 3–4 hours

Your responsibilities will include:

• Solve practical backend and product challenges in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Build and maintain backend services using Node.js.
• Design and implement workflows, automation, and AI-driven processes.
• Work with integrations, APIs, and data pipelines across multiple external providers.
• Collaborate closely with the CTO and small product team.
• Contribute to feature development and product scaling.
• Improve and maintain code quality, including basic test coverage.
• Participate in building systems that optimize insurance selection and risk prevention.

What we expect from you:

• 4–5 years of professional software engineering experience.
• English: Upper-Intermediate (B2+) or higher.
• Strong experience with Node.js and backend development.
• Experience working with automation tools, workflows, or AI-related features (agents, LLMs, etc.).
• Good understanding of APIs, integrations, and data handling.
• Ability to work independently in a startup environment with minimal supervision.
• Strong problem-solving skills and proactive mindset.
• Basic understanding of testing (unit/integration).
• Comfort working without strict processes or detailed specifications.

Nice to Have:

• Basic knowledge of React.
• Previous startup experience.
• Experience working with AI-powered products or LLMs.
• Familiarity with building or optimizing automation processes.

We offer:

• Work on an early-stage product with real impact in the insurance domain.
• Opportunity to shape product and technical decisions alongside the CTO.
• Hands-on experience with AI, automation, and modern backend systems.
• Fast-paced environment with minimal bureaucracy.
• 100% remote work.
