Product Engineer

Coverbase

5d • $140,000 - $220,000 • Remote

About The Position

The foundation of the modern global economy is built on a dense network of counterparty trust and risk. In the past 50 years, companies have evolved from relying on a couple of wholesalers and vendors, to utilizing 100+ SaaS vendors, contract partners, and cloud providers. Since each counterparty has their own idiosyncratic internal processes and risk profiles, businesses end up spending millions of dollars and countless man-hours conducting due diligence.

Coverbase’s mission is to streamline this business-to-business assessment, reducing human toil, and allowing organizations to work together safely and reliably. We employ modern AI techniques to organize vast amounts of unstructured data and compare them against policies to identify key risks to the business.

We serve customers across Fortune 500 companies in insurance, higher education, and finance — including five of the top 25 banks in the US.

Our proven leadership team brings deep experience:
Clarence (CEO): Co-founder & former CTO of Unit21, a Series C fraud detection company that has raised ~$92M.
Kao (CTO): Previously led the Stripe engineering team that launched Banking-as-a-Service.
We’ve raised $20M from world-class investors and our team of 20 have built important products at Google, Mapbox and Waymo.
Expectations
We're seeking a Product Engineer to develop foundational components of our product and anchor the culture and spirit of the team. We care more about slope than y-intercept. Formal education or prior domain knowledge is not strictly required, but a fierce can-do attitude and a desire to make something of yourself certainly is.
We're also looking for folks who care not just about their work, but the people around them—we're building a team that's as kind as it is talented.

Requirements

• Strong foundational software engineering skills: efficient in your dev environment, confident with git, seasoned at debugging, and able to provide high-quality code reviews.
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic, early-stage startup environment.
• Immediate productivity in at least one area of our stack (React frontends, Python backends, AI systems, or AWS infrastructure).

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and iterate on end-to-end web products that are robust and delight our users.
• Own the full development lifecycle, from brainstorming to deployment, ensuring platform scalability and reliability.
• Contribute across the stack, whether developing backend services (typed Python), frontend interfaces (React/Typescript), evolving our Postgres database layer, or shaping AWS infrastructure with Pulumi.
• Innovate on our AI systems—custom chunking algorithms, vector databases, and private LLMs—to deliver accurate, auditable assessments.
• Foster a constructive environment for code reviews, mentoring, and knowledge sharing.

Benefits

• Health insurance
• 21 days of PTO
• In-person gatherings within the U.S. (travel covered) every 3-5 months. We’ll give plenty of notice for it, and cover flights and accommodation. We expect you to attend!
• 401(k) plan with 4% matching
