The technical challenge: More than 80% of Americans own a car and see it as a fundamental necessity, yet the experience of owning one is stuck in the 90s. Every part of the user journey (shopping for a car, insurance, repairs, etc) is complicated, fragmented, expensive and time-consuming. At Jerry.ai http://Jerry.ai, we are building the first mobile app to manage it all. Our insurance marketplace is our core product today, and our ability to automate the end-to-end shopping experience is our core differentiator. The Core Backend Team owns the most critical part of that, the "last mile", where we orchestrate complex, multi-step transactions with external systems to finalize insurance policy purchases. Because the industry lacks modern APIs, we build custom orchestration layers that navigate internal and external interfaces with precision. It is a high-stakes puzzle of asynchronous state management and real-time system reliability. Your challenge will be to evolve our current automation systems to a robust, fault-tolerant framework that can handle external interface changes gracefully and scale across dozens of new categories with minimal manual intervention. Why you will (or won’t) like working here: - Ownership: You’ll report directly to our co-founder/CTO, who is actively involved in product implementation. There is no red tape, no slow-moving processes, and no layers of approvals needed. If you have an idea, you can pitch it, build it, and see it live in days. - Stellar team: We have a very high bar for talent, as a result, we have a small but mighty team that can move fast and accomplish a lot. You will work with likeminded peers who are equally passionate and who care intensely about what they do. - Hands-on: Many of our TLMs are ex-founders, they like getting their hands dirty and solving difficult problems. You will spend 80% of your time doing hands-on technical work (e.g. transitioning our legacy automation systems into a more decoupled, scalable architectur
