Job Title: Senior Software Engineer, Insurance

Location: United States

Workplace Type: Remote

Job Summary

Porch is reimagining what it means to be an insurance technology company, and we’re building it from the inside out. As a Senior Engineer I on our insurance platform team, you’ll build and own key services that power how we underwrite, administer, and scale insurance products. We’re an AI-first organization, so you’ll do your day-to-day development with agentic AI coding tools — not as an experiment, but as the way we ship.

This is a hands-on build role on a greenfield platform. You’ll take projects from design through production within your area, make well-reasoned tradeoffs around scaling, reliability, and maintainability, and lean on senior teammates when you venture into less familiar parts of the codebase. If you like owning real services, shipping well-tested code, and growing alongside a strong team, you’ll fit right in.

What You Will Do As A Senior Software Engineer

AI-Native Engineering (How We Build)

Use agentic AI coding tools as your primary development methodology for the platform build, not as an experimental side channel.
Work within the team’s agent configuration patterns, custom skills, and CI/CD integration — and help improve them as you find rough edges.
Make sure the code you ship with AI assistance meets our standards: a green CI pipeline, passing evaluations, and clean pre-commit hooks are non-negotiable.
Apply good spec-driven, context-management practices that separate productive AI-assisted work from churn, and share what works with your teammates.

AI Capability in the Platform (What We Build)

Build agentic capabilities into the platform — agent-assisted configuration, AI-driven underwriting decisioning, document understanding for declarations and endorsements, and conversational interfaces for the operations team.
Contribute to the RAG pipelines, retrieval, and tool-use patterns that ground LLM behavior in regulated insurance content (rate manuals, underwriting guidelines, state-specific rules).
Implement the integration patterns (MCP, function calling, structured outputs) that expose platform capabilities to internal agents and external partners.
Add observability, evaluation, and cost instrumentation to the AI features you own so their behavior is measurable, debuggable, and bounded.
Follow the responsible-AI guardrails that keep agent-influenced decisions auditable and aligned with insurance regulatory requirements.

Platform Architecture & Build

Design and build core PAS services in your area — quoting, rating, binding, issuance, endorsements, renewals, cancellations, and reinstatements — making well-reasoned design decisions and tradeoffs as you go.
Contribute to the rating engine, product configuration layer, and rules framework that let business teams launch new states and products without engineering bottlenecks.
Implement data models for policy lifecycle, exposure management, and regulatory compliance, with guidance from senior engineers on the broader architecture.
Build within the platform’s event-driven patterns and integration architecture for the carrier, vendor, and partner systems the platform speaks to.

Transformation & Migration

Build migration tooling: automated data extraction, transformation, validation, and reconciliation pipelines.
Help keep existing vendor platforms stable while we build the replacement — you’ll context-switch between “keep the lights on” and “build the future” without dropping either.

Collaboration & Growth

Partner with Product and Insurance SMEs to refine requirements and turn domain needs into
