Product Engineer
About The Position
Rockstar is recruiting for a health insurance technology startup that is modernizing and automating the benefits experience. The client is a team of builders backed by investors such as Base10 Partners, Terrain, Conversion Capital, and SemperVirens, firms that have led investments and helped grow companies like Ramp, Rippling, and Blend from the seed stage. The company is headquartered in NYC with a remote-friendly team of about 15 and is seeking early Product Engineers to own problems end to end.

The company’s vision is to create an ecosystem where everyone benefits: Brokers eliminate busy work and enhance their advisory roles; Employers receive a tailored, efficient benefits experience with better coverage and service, often at lower costs; Employees gain clear, accessible information about their benefits, leading to higher satisfaction and engagement; Partners like HR and payroll platforms expand their offerings effortlessly with the company’s embeddable solutions. The company is seeking early Product Engineers who want to own problems end to end, from architecture to shipping to the partner conversation that shapes what gets built next. The Product Engineer will have autonomy and the room to make an outsized impact on the core product.
