We are looking for a Senior Node.js Engineer to join a fast-growing startup building AI-driven automation solutions for the insurance industry. US-based early-stage startup in the insurance domain operates as an aggregator platform that helps users find optimal insurance solutions across providers, while also developing a loss prevention direction. The product is not legacy — it has been built from scratch by the CTO and is now entering a scaling phase. A key focus area is AI and automation — building workflows, integrating AI agents, and optimizing processes across the platform.
Location: Remote Working Hours: Partial overlap with US (Boston) — 3–4 hours Your responsibilities will include: * Solve practical backend and product challenges in a fast-paced startup environment. * Build and maintain backend services using Node.js. * Design and implement workflows, automation, and AI-driven processes. * Work with integrations, APIs, and data pipelines across multiple external providers. * Collaborate closely with the CTO and small product team. * Contribute to feature development and product scaling. * Improve and maintain code quality, including basic test coverage. * Participate in building systems that optimize insurance selection and risk prevention.
What we expect from you: * 10+ years of professional software engineering experience. * English: Upper-Intermediate (B2+) or higher. * Strong experience with Node.js and backend development. * Experience working with automation tools, workflows, or AI-related features (agents, LLMs, etc.). * Good understanding of APIs, integrations, and data handling. * Ability to work independently in a startup environment with minimal supervision. * Strong problem-solving skills and proactive mindset. * Basic understanding of testing (unit/integration). * Comfort working without strict processes or detailed specifications.
Nice to Have: * Basic knowledge of React. * Previous startup experience. * Experience working with AI-powered products or LLMs. * Familiarity with building or optimizing automation processes.
We offer: * Work on an early-stage product with real impact in the insurance domain. * Opportunity to shape product and technical decisions alongside the CTO. * Hands-on experience with AI, automation, and modern backend systems. * Fast-paced environment with minimal bureaucracy. * 100% remote work.
