About The Position

About Convr: Convr is an AI underwriting, data, and intelligent document processing workbench that drives world-class customer experiences. It delivers premium growth, insights and efficiency for commercial P&C insurance organizations of all sizes, including many top carriers, MGA's, Brokers and Reinsurers. Founded in 2016, Convr is solving the greatest challenges of commercial insurance organizations. With rapid advancements in technology, Commercial Insurance Carriers, MGA’s, and Brokers are falling short on technology enablement and efficiency deliverance. Outdated business processes, inaccurate data and technologies are holding them back from elevating and delivering on better customer experience. In addition, this is adding time and costs to doing business, increasing expense ratios and manual entry errors. With Convr, commercial P&C insurers manage the underwriting process from submission to quote with an on-demand software platform with its purpose-built Artificial Intelligence decisioning engine, empowering them to make better decisions, faster. Our vision is to transform the world through data, discovery, decision, and we do that today by empowering commercial insurers with a core underwriting management solution enabling a frictionless experience, delivering superior performance, optimal efficiency, and world-class customer engagement from submission to quote. You can make a difference in the commercial and property insurance industry by joining and leading to digitally transform commercial insurance with modern AI. Role Overview: We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer who functions like a founder. This isn't a role for someone who waits for a perfectly groomed Jira ticket or a product manager to define every edge case. We need a seasoned engineer with the judgment to identify what needs to be built and the autonomy to execute the plan from start to finish. You will be expected to own entire workstreams, architecting solutions that balance rapid delivery with long-term stability. You should have "good taste" in software—knowing when to build for scale, when to keep it simple, and how to maintain an exceptional developer experience for the rest of the team.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional experience in full-stack or frontend development.
• Strong proficiency in Typescript and modern React.
• Experience with LangChain, OpenAI API, Anthropic, or custom agentic workflows.
• Hands-on experience with Next.js App Router (server components, layouts, streaming, caching).
• Background in UI/UX design or working closely with designers.
• Strong experience implementing complex, data-heavy views with Tailwind and component libraries (shadcn/ui, Mantine, etc).
• Experience with tRPC or equivalent type-safe API frameworks.
• Solid understanding of frontend performance, state management, and accessibility.
• Experience working in SaaS products or startups.
• Ability to design scalable systems and write clean, maintainable code.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work autonomously.

Responsibilities

• Operate with Extreme Autonomy: You’ll identify high-impact problems and solve them without needing a roadmap handed to you. You are your own project manager.
• You care about clean abstractions, intuitive APIs, and high-quality code. You understand that how we build is just as important as what we build.
• You will design and deploy AI-driven features, whether that’s building autonomous agents to handle complex workflows or crafting sophisticated prompt assistants to enhance our product's intelligence.
• You’ll actively work to improve the developer experience, ensuring our tech stack stays modern, efficient, and a joy to work in.
• Work across the stack: from database queries to API endpoints to UI/UX.
• Write high-quality, type-safe, and maintainable code in Typescript.
• Leverage modern React / Next.js patterns for performance and scalability.
• Collaborate with product stakeholders and other engineers to shape technical direction.
• Mentor teammates and establish engineering best practices.
• Contribute to CI/CD, testing, and performance monitoring.
