## Job description

**Company Description**

Farsyt is an AI-native insurance services company reimagining how insurance is bought, sold and operated -- using automation, data and AI from the ground up.

Small team, high ownership, fast pace, venture-backed. This role is for someone who wants to take real ownership, move quickly, and build systems that matter.

**Role Description**

You’ll work closely with the founders and early engineers to build core product systems from the ground up.

* Build and ship backend systems (APIs, services, data models)
* Develop AI-powered workflows that replace manual operations
* Integrate with external systems (carrier tools, documents, communication layers)
* Build automation pipelines using LLMs and modern AI tooling
* Work on asynchronous systems (queues, workers, long-running tasks)
* Ship quickly — from idea → production in days, not months

You won’t just be handed tickets — you’ll be expected to understand problems deeply and help shape solutions.

**Qualifications**

* 1+ years of experience building production systems
* Strong backend fundamentals (we use Python)
* Comfortable working with APIs, databases, and cloud environments
* Ability to learn quickly and operate in a fast-moving environment
* Experience or strong interest in modern AI systems (LLMs, RAG, agents)
* Solid engineering fundamentals (debugging, data modeling, system design)
* Good product instincts — you care about what you’re building and why

Bonus:

* Experience with asynchronous systems (Celery, Redis, cron jobs)
* Production experience with LLM-based applications or automation workflows
* Familiarity with fintech, insurance, or regulated environments

We care more about how you think and learn than the exact tools you’ve used.

**Technical Stack**

Python (Django/DRF, FastAPI), React/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, AWS, Gemini/OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, Pydantic AI/LangChain, Docker

You don’t need experience with everything here, but you should be comfortable working in production systems and picking up new tools quickly.

**The Team**

You’d be joining the founding technical team, with direct input into what gets built and how. The people who join now will shape the company in ways that won’t be possible later.

**Why this role?**

* You’ll be one of the first engineers — your decisions will shape the company
* Direct access to founders, no layers
* Real problems, not toy demos
* A massive, outdated industry ready to be rebuilt

**Compensation**

* Competitive salary & equity
* Benefits

  + PTO
  + Health/Dental/Vision
  + 401k
  + Relocation

**Location**

Cambridge, MA  
  
In-office, 5 days/week — we believe early-stage teams build best in person.

**Don’t meet every requirement?**

If you’re excited about the role but don’t check every box, we still encourage you to apply. We’re open to candidates across a range of experience levels, including those who may be more senior than this role suggests.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
