Full stack Software Engineer

Shepherd is a tech-enabled MGU (Managing General Underwriter) revolutionizing casualty insurance for middle-market construction. As a YC-backed startup with funding led by Spark Capital, they're creating a digital end-to-end insurance procurement experience for the construction industry. The role offers a unique opportunity to join a mission-driven company focused on making construction safe and sustainable through innovative insurance products.

The ideal candidate will be a full-stack engineer with 3+ years of experience, comfortable working with modern technologies including React, TypeScript, Node.js, and GraphQL. The position involves working across the entire stack and collaborating directly with founders on crucial product decisions. The tech stack is modern and well-structured, split between frontend (React, Next.js, TypeScript, GraphQL) and backend (Node.js, Postgres, Redis) technologies.

What makes this role particularly exciting is the opportunity to work at the intersection of construction technology and insurance, two traditionally separate industries that Shepherd is bringing together. The company offers competitive compensation ($120K-$180K plus equity), comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative work environment in San Francisco. The team culture emphasizes hands-on problem-solving, quick iteration, and making a real impact on the construction industry's safety and efficiency.

The role goes beyond typical engineering responsibilities, offering opportunities to influence product direction, company culture, and strategic decisions. The company's mission to modernize construction insurance through technology makes this an ideal position for someone who wants to work on meaningful problems while building innovative solutions in the insurtech space.
