Senior Software Engineer (Founding Role)

Chestnut, an a16z-backed startup, is revolutionizing the $7B insurance industry with their innovative producer management and compensation platform. As a Senior Software Engineer in a founding role, you'll join a technology-first company tackling complex challenges in the insurance sector. The role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the founding team, building groundbreaking solutions from scratch.

The engineering team at Chestnut values ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and technical excellence. You'll be responsible for both backend and frontend systems, working with technologies like Golang, Kubernetes, and React. The position requires expertise in designing scalable solutions, managing cloud infrastructure, and implementing security best practices.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with 3+ years of experience who wants to make a significant impact in an early-stage startup. You'll be working in a remote-first culture with competitive compensation, including equity with a 10-year exercise window. The role combines technical leadership with hands-on development, allowing you to shape both the product and engineering culture.

The company offers a comprehensive benefits package, including top-tier health insurance and unlimited PTO. Regular team offsites ensure strong team bonding despite the remote-first setup. If you're passionate about solving complex technical challenges, have an entrepreneurial spirit, and want to be part of transforming a traditional industry through technology, this founding role at Chestnut could be your next career-defining move.
