We’re reimagining how people shop for home and auto insurance, using smart technology to make something historically painful feel refreshingly easy. Every day, we help people save time, money, and unnecessary headaches. Behind the scenes, our fully remote team moves fast, owns their craft, and builds products that genuinely make life better. Led by a three-time fintech founder with a proven track record of going big, we’re building something special, and we’re just getting started. If you’re hungry to make an impact and love solving complex problems with a scrappy crew, you’ll love it here. Your Mission Reporting directly to the CEO, the Software Engineering Lead, Provider Engineering will own all of our technical relationships and integrations with insurance providers like Progressive, Allstate, and GEICO, as well as providers of new lines of business like auto loan refinancing. Your mission will be to ensure that our shopping engine: Intelligently identifies which providers to request by balancing considerations like the likely quality/importance of their offer, search latency, data costs, and more Retrieves accurate offers informed by all available shopper data, including intelligently interpolating unavailable data inputs Maintains a high degree of service availability We believe in paying competitively for great work. As a remote team, we set our salaries at the 75th percentile of national market data in our industry. You can count on your pay being in line with (or above) the market. For this role, the base salary range is $220,000-$235,000. We review compensation twice a year to make sure we’re staying competitive and rewarding our team’s contributions. Your Initial Goals Grow the number of high-quality results (e.g. quotes) retrieved per search/shopper By integrating new providers of existing types of offers By systematically eliminating bugs and shortcoming in existing integrations Improve the R2 of our “result quality” models by driving more accurate rate estimates By systematically ensuring inputs are calculated, interpolated, and plumbed correctly and accurately By adding an intelligence layer to prevent unnecessary requests, enabling providers to activate more expensive data enrichment Add new kinds of offers to our search engine Such as auto loan refinancing What You’ll Need to Succeed Extensive Backend Engineering Experience – This role will be nearly entirely backend focused. You should be comfortable exercising best practices in Typscript/NodeJS. Product/Business Chops – You will need to make smart, nuanced product decisions, such as what coverages to request for a given shopper. This will require that you be able to quickly learn new product domains (like how car insurance works in each state). Communication Skills – Since you will be working extensively with the companies that pay our bills, professional and clear written and verbal communication skills will be essential, as well as judgment for how to navigate their large corporate bureaucracies. Process Orientation – You will be responsible for a lot of spinning plates, such as bugs that insurers’ need to fix, and multi-week refactoring projects, so you will need to skillfully manage and keep track of everything by designing and implementing effective and right-sized processes. Comfort with Data – In order to identify issues and design optimizations, you will need to self-sufficiently navigate production data using tools like Looker and Datadog. You will need to design things like smart algorithms for anomaly detection. Who You Are Meticulous: You pay attention to detail and take pride in what you deliver Articulate: You succinctly and effectively communicate verbal and written technical and non-technical ideas and topics Kind, not (just) nice: You provide tough feedback in a clear and concise manner that does not diminish or belittle the recipient Opinionated: You bring strong opinions to discussions but are willing to change your mind when presented with new or better information Product-minded: You focus on the “why” just as much as the “what” or “how” Collaborative: You work within your team and cross-functionally to build consensus and achieve results Autonomous: You are self-motivated, able to hold yourself accountable, and can generate high-value work with little direct supervision   Why Trellis?
