Job Specifications
Before we wrote this ad, we talked to our engineers and asked them what it’s really like working here. Here’s what they said.
At most companies, engineers wait.
Wait for approvals. Wait for dependencies. Wait while real problems go unsolved.
At Jerry.ai, we don’t wait.
If you have an idea, you can explain it, build it, and ship it — sometimes in days, not months. One engineer told us: “At other companies I made very little difference. Here, if I have a good idea, I can go do it.”
That sense of ownership is built into how we work. We move fast, and you’ll see your fingerprints on the product right away. Engineers here love being able to touch every layer of the stack, collaborate across teams, and see their work reflected in real customer behavior — sometimes the same week they ship. “Everything you do reflects immediately for the users,” said another. “And things move fast.”
We don’t do bureaucracy. We don’t do politics. Everyone here — from our CTO to our tech leads — writes code and sweats the details. “The leaders here lead by example,” one teammate shared. “They have very high standards. They don’t settle for just OK.”
It’s challenging work, but it’s meaningful. You’ll juggle new systems and old, context switch often, and learn constantly. You’ll also get more trust and autonomy than almost anywhere else. Engineers describe the culture as curious and collaborative: people step up to help, push each other to grow, and learn from every mistake. One teammate summed it up perfectly: “I once caused a bug that wasted $20K in AWS costs, but no one blamed me. They only cared about how to prevent it next time.”
We’re a remote-first, global team with engineers across North America and Asia. We collaborate asynchronously, meet regularly to share context, and connect in person at our global offsites. Our engineers joined for the impact and stayed for the people: talented, no ego, and genuinely kind.
So, what is Jerry.ai and why should you care?
Your car and your home are the two most expensive things you’ll ever own — and the hardest to manage. At Jerry.ai, we’re building the first super app to help everyday Americans take control of both. From insurance to repairs to safety, we’re reimagining what it means to own and maintain your car and home. This is a $5 trillion+ problem and we’re the only company tackling it end-to-end. Our revenue has grown 60x in the last 5 years, we’re profitable, and our goal is to scale from 5M → 50M users next.
What You’ll Work On
We’re adding 2 software engineers to our growth team. Based on your skills, interests, and our team needs, you will work on a combination of the following:
Build and maintain systems that power customer onboarding, shopping, and end-to-end purchase flows for our car, home and motorcycle insurance marketplace products.
Work on high-visibility initiatives, including revamping pre-sale flows for new products from scratch.
Address technical debt, fix inconsistencies and bugs, and contribute to our tech stack refactoring efforts across our end-to-end shopping flow.
Support multiple teams and initiatives in parallel while prioritizing the highest-impact work for user conversion and revenue.
Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineering teams to improve conversion, automation, and the overall user experience.
Contribute to both frontend (React/React Native) and backend (Node.js, Nest.js), integrating systems across multiple teams.
Work asynchronously across time zones, participate in daily standups, and maintain strong communication through Asana and Slack.
Our Tech Stack
Frontend & backend: TypeScript, Nest.js, Next.js, React, React Native, Expo
API: GraphQL
Data: Postgres, DynamoDB, Clickhouse, Redis
Infrastructure: AWS, microservices, containerized services on ECS/EKS, asynchronous processing on Lambda
Our business has grown more complex over time. We’re refactoring major parts of our app — simplifying old systems, rebuilding core flows, and setting up the next three years of our platform’s growth. You’ll help build the foundation for that next phase.
What We’re Looking For
Experience: At least 1 year (including internships) for SDE I, or 3+ years for SDE II, building production-grade software, ideally full stack with some frontend exposure.
Technical strength: Strong foundations in data structures, algorithms, and systems design matter more than prior experience with our tech stack.
Problem solver: You enjoy tackling ambiguous problems, breaking them down into actionable code, and iterating quickly.
Ownership: You take responsibility for end-to-end outcomes and continuously improve the systems you build.
Collaboration: Comfortable working asynchronously with a global team, with excellent communication skills.
Curiosity + adaptability: You love learning, exploring new tools, and stepping outside your comfort zone to understand the bigger picture.
This isn’t another coding job. You’ll work in a flexible, fast-moving,
