About Fulcrum
Fulcrum is re-wiring the insurance-brokerage industry with AI agents that let brokerages grow revenue without adding headcount. Our platform already saves customers thousands of hours and millions of dollars every year. We’ve just closed our Series A and are looking to grow our team as we scale rapidly.
Why Fulcrum
- Rocket-ship growth. We’ve achieved multiple seven figures in ARR in just over a year, serving large enterprise clients including 25% of the top 50 brokers in the country.
- Extreme ownership. You’ll work directly with enterprise users and ship end-to-end products that save them hours every week.
- Bleeding-edge problems, real impact. Tackle tough AI and product challenges whose wins show up immediately in customer workflows.
- In-person collaboration. Join a lean, staff-level team (ex-Affirm, Uber, DoorDash, McKinsey) working side-by-side in San Francisco; we believe the best ideas are fostered in an in-person environment.
- Top-of-market rewards. Competitive base salary plus meaningful founding-team equity.
About the Role
We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer — Product to help reshape how the insurance broking industry services insurance. As a Product Engineer at Fulcrum, you’ll build and enhance our core AI products — from processing hundreds of very long PDFs and Excel files to building deep browser automations into legacy systems, and building a scalable platform to support the volume and throughput of our system. You will be responsible for both the 0→1 MVP development and the 1→10 growth and scaling of a product. You’ll work directly on features that help insurance brokers better serve their customers while improving margins.
What You'll Do
- Develop complete features across both frontend and backend layers of our application.
- Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code with appropriate test coverage.
- Troubleshoot and debug complex issues across the technology stack.
- Optimize application performance and scalability.
- Own both product manager and software engineer responsibilities.
- Balance technical considerations with user needs and business goals.
- Incorporate customer feedback into product and features.
What You'll Bring
- 4+ years of software engineering experience.
- Strong TypeScript proficiency (Python a plus).
- Proven track record of shipping user‑focused products.
- Excellence in cross‑functional collaboration and communication.
- Deep empathy for user needs and passion for user experience.
- Enjoy being hacky — getting something out to the customer as soon as possible.
- Experience building scalable systems.
- We’re hiring for full stack and backend roles.
- Ability to work 5 days a week from our San Francisco office (open to candidates willing to relocate).
As an early‑stage company building at the frontier of AI, we work with high intensity and commitment. While schedules can vary by role/team, many weeks will demand extra focus, flexibility, and time — particularly during major launches and high‑impact sprints. We’re seeking those who are aligned to and able to commit to that expectation, which includes 5 days per week in our San Francisco office.
