About the role
- The future is bright for the Porch Group, and we'd love for you to be a part of it as our Staff Engineer, Insurance Platform.
- Porch is reimagining what it means to be an insurance technology company - and we're doing it from the inside out.
- As a Staff Engineer on our Insurance Platform team, you'll architect the foundational systems that power how we underwrite, administer, and scale insurance products.
Responsibilities
- AI-Native Engineering - How We Build
- Use agentic AI coding tools as the primary development methodology for the platform build - not as an experimental side channel
- Build evaluation frameworks, quality gates, and pre-commit hooks that ensure agent-generated code meets our standards
- lead the team in spec-driven coding, context management, and productive AI-assisted practices
- AI Capability in the Platform - What We Build
- Architect agentic capabilities directly into the platform: agent-assisted configuration, AI-driven underwriting decisioning, automated document understanding for declarations and endorsements, and conversational interfaces for the operations team
- Design RAG pipelines, retrieval architectures, and tool-use patterns that ground LLM behavior in regulated insurance content (rate manuals, underwriting guidelines, state-specific rules)
- Define integration patterns (MCP, function calling, structured outputs) that expose platform capabilities cleanly to internal agents and external partners
- Orchestrate multi-agent workflows for parallel feature delivery; lead the team in spec-driven coding, context management, and productive AI-assisted practices
- Platform Architecture & Build
Nice to have
- Define data models for policy lifecycle, exposure management, and regulatory compliance (bureau reporting, NAIC data submissions, state filing requirements)
- Run shadow comparisons of new platform output against incumbent systems before each cutover
- Stay hands-on - this is not a whiteboard architect role
- you write production code
- Homeowners or other personal-lines P&C domain depth
- auto and home strongly preferred
- Production-grade engineering depth in Python, Java, or a comparable backend language
- comfortable across the stack from data model to API to deployment
Skills
- Mentor the broader engineering team on AI-assisted development and evolve those practices as tooling and models advance
- Establish AI observability, evaluation, and cost-management frameworks so production agent behavior is measurable, debuggable, and bounded
Compensation
- Pay Range*: $187,500 - $237,500 annually
Benefits
- Our traditional healthcare benefits include three (3) Medical plan options, two (2) Dental plan options, and a Vision plan from which to choose.
- We offer pre-tax savings options including a partially employer funded Health Savings Account and employee Flexible Savings Accounts including healthcare, dependent care, and transportation savings options.
- We provide company paid Basic Life and AD&D, Short and Long-Term Disability benefits.
- LifeBalance is a free resource to employees and their families for year-round discounts on things like gym memberships, travel, appliances, movies, pet insurance and more.
