Description For Product Engineer

Axle is a universal API for access to insurance. We make it easy for consumers to securely share their insurance data to companies they trust, in seconds.

As a Product Engineer at Axle, you will be a key member of our engineering team, working on both external interfaces and internal services that form the foundation of the Axle platform. This role combines full-stack development with a strong focus on backend systems and data pipelines.

  • Build and scale robust backend services and data pipelines
  • Work with Node.js and TypeScript in a cloud environment
  • Design and implement customer-facing features
  • Balance technical decisions around scalability and performance
  • Collaborate closely with customers to understand and solve their needs

We're a fast-growing, seed-stage startup backed by notable investors including Google's Gradient Ventures and Y Combinator. Our team is based in New York, offering a flexible hybrid work environment.

What makes this opportunity special:

  • Early-stage startup with strong funding and revenue traction
  • Chance to shape engineering culture and technical direction
  • Work on transformative insurance infrastructure
  • Competitive compensation package including equity
  • Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision
  • Strong focus on mentorship and professional growth

We value diversity and are building an inclusive team that welcomes different perspectives and experiences. If you're excited about building innovative solutions in the insurance tech space, we'd love to hear from you.
