Job Description

Overview Of The Role

We’re on a mission to modernize insurance, making it simpler, more accessible, and customer-first. The insurance industry is a $1T market that’s remained largely untouched by the digital revolution, and PolicyMe is here to change that. As a remote-first, Toronto-based startup with big ambitions, we’re building the future of insurance in Canada and beyond.

We're building a groundbreaking new product line that will transform the insurance broker experience through AI and machine learning. As an AI-Driven Full Stack Engineer, you'll be part of a team charting new territory - designing and implementing intelligent systems that automate manual processes and unlock powerful data-driven insights.

You will work across the stack, contributing to front end, back end, and AI/ML initiatives, while also participating in architecture discussions, release planning, and company-wide engineering initiatives. Our core stack includes Python, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, n8n, LangChain/LangGraph and AWS , and we are always open to adopting new tools and technologies that help us deliver better results.

What you'll be doing:

  • Develop full stack features for our AI-powered web application using Python, React, Redux, PostgreSQL and AWS
  • Integrate AI models and APIs for tasks like document processing, data extraction, recommendation engines etc
  • Work closely with Sr. Engineers experienced in AI to seamlessly integrate models into production
  • Stay current on emerging AI technologies/frameworks and explore new applications
  • Build scalable, reliable backend services to fuel our AI workflows
  • Create intuitive user experiences that surface AI-powered capabilities
  • Participate in architecture planning, code reviews, and ideation sessions
  • Take ownership of feature development end-to-end (once ramped up), coordinating with QA and other teams
  • Engage in cross-team communication to help unblock dependencies and improve release flow
  • Share ideas during quarterly planning to help shape what we build next
  • Participate in company-wide initiatives such as hackathons, engineering guilds, and AI tooling experiments

What we are looking for:

  • Strong full-stack development skills with the ability to work across backend and frontend using Python, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, and AWS
  • Familiarity with AI/ML concepts from coursework, side projects, or work experience
  • Passion for building intelligent applications that solve real-world problems
  • Eagerness to learn, embrace ambiguity, and continually upskill in a rapidly evolving space
  • Hands-on experience or projects interacting with AI APIs/models (e.g. prompt engineering)
  • Self-starter with a career-driven mindset who thrives in an environment with autonomy and accountability
  • Collaborative team player with low ego who is open to feedback and eager to help others
  • Detail-oriented approach to problem-solving, especially in complex domains

Why join us:

  • Generous PTO - 20 vacation days
  • Access to stock options and a comprehensive benefits plan
  • A remote-first team with company paid, in-person socials and the option to work from our Toronto-based office
  • Resources to help your professional development, including an L&D budget, performance reviews twice a year and ongoing feedback to ensure you reach your highest potential
  • Work with an empathetic, high-performing team in a flexible, results-oriented environment
  • Compensation: The expected base salary range for this role is $85,000 - $115,000 CAD, based on experience. In addition, there is a competitive bonus program and opportunity for equity. We’ll walk through the details together during the interview
