Staff Software Engineer - Product
About The Position
About Fulcrum The $1.5 trillion insurance industry is powered by brokers. Every business needs insurance, and the brokerage industry is hamstrung by account management capacity. Account managers are constantly pulled in multiple directions—keying information into systems, chasing documents, doing mundane work—rather than focusing on the client interactions that actually matter. Most brokerages either outsource this work or grind through it manually. We're building an AI platform to automate this insurance drudgery. Our platform already saves customers thousands of hours and millions of dollars every year. Our customers love the product— we have deep penetration within enterprise brokerages and genuinely enjoy making our customers' lives better. We just raised our Series A and are just getting started. Why Fulcrum Rocket-ship growth. We’ve achieved multiple seven figures in ARR in just over a year, serving large enterprise clients including 30% 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 Staff 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.
