Staff Software Engineer, Ops

Who we are:

At Sixfold, we're revolutionizing the insurance industry with groundbreaking AI that handles the complex analysis while empowering underwriters to focus on strategic decision-making. Our AI engine doesn't just process data – it's the first of its kind to crack the code on insurance's most challenging problems, from instant risk assessment to loss pattern recognition. We've solved the notorious "front-door problem" that's plagued carriers for decades, giving them the power to instantly evaluate, prioritize submissions and capture the best opportunities.

Why we’re excited about this space:

Insurance isn't just another industry – it's the backbone that protects everything from your local coffee shop to billion-dollar shipping fleets, and we're revolutionizing it with AI. Our team brings together battle-tested founders and operators who've scaled both insurtech innovations and enterprise solutions, and we're united by one mission: transforming how risk is evaluated.

That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to shape underwriting in a $7 trillion industry while doing the most important work of your career.

Who you are:

• A smart self-starter: You have a bias for action. You orient yourself around solutions and outcomes and don’t wait for others to tell you what to do. But you also understand how to build alignment and conviction for a decision that can’t be taken back easily.
• A force multiplier: You look for ways to magnify your impact and your team’s. When you find a productivity hack, you share it with your teammates and build a tool to make it easier. You document knowledge for the benefit of future teammates. And you lean into AI and automation to improve your productivity.
• An empathetic communicator: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed.
• A learner: You thrive on learning new things. You can name your favorite sources of what’s new in tech and AI, and you’re excited to tell us about your latest hack or discovery.

What you’ll do:

• Customer-Facing Platforms & Services: You'll work with customer-facing teams to streamline integration and onboarding processes. You'll design, build, and maintain software frameworks, services, and APIs that enable seamless customer integrations with Sixfold. You'll also develop and maintain SDKs to simplify the integration process.
• Internal Tools & Systems: You’ll develop and support internal data tools to enhance customer onboarding. Your robust evaluation data pipelines will support thorough testing and iteration of new features. We design and refine intuitive interfaces that enhance customer workflows through collaborative iteration. Our team partners with stakeholders to align technical decisions with broader product and business goals.

Qualifications:

• You have 8+ years of professional experience in full-stack software engineering and DevOps.
• You are an end-to-end builder, working comfortably across modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React/TypeScript) and backend systems in Ruby and Python.
• You can design and implement scalable cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling.
• You are comfortable working with modern data stores, including relational databases, caching systems, and vector search technologies like Pinecone.
• You bring strong product sense and you’ve partnered with customer-facing teams, contributing to smooth integrations and onboarding experiences.
• You are curious about LLM technologies and enjoy working with AI engineers on integrations and evaluations.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in the insurance industry.
• Product-oriented development experience.
• Broad exposure to diverse technical stacks and methodologies.
• Familiarity with Large Language Models (LLMs) and methodologies for LLM evaluation.

Additional Information:
