Software Engineer (Toronto)

About Strada

Strada builds AI agents that run insurance operations.

Insurance powers the global economy, helping businesses stay open and families recover from disasters. Yet much of the work behind it still relies on manual processes and legacy systems.

Our AI agents complete that work end to end: handling claims, policy changes, billing, and servicing across insurance systems. Backed by Y Combinator and leading investors, Strada already automates more than 5M customer interactions for insurers, TPAs, and brokers representing $20B+ in annual premiums.

Our ambition is to make entire insurance operations run on AI. We’re a small team with a substantial head start and much more to build. Joining now means owning core parts of the platform and helping define how an enormous industry operates.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join us in-person at our Toronto office.

You'll work at the forefront of agentic AI, developing, evaluating, and deploying systems that handle complex insurance work end-to-end.

As a senior full-stack engineer, you'll have significant ownership and work closely with customers to build products they'll love. This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to shape both the product and the engineering culture as we scale.

What you'll get done in the first week

Ship your first PR to production - no lengthy onboarding, you're contributing immediately

Get hands-on with our agent platform and understand the architecture behind automated insurance conversations and workflows

Meet the team, shadow customer calls, and start identifying areas where your experience can have an immediate impact

What you'll do in your first 30 days

Own a meaningful feature or system improvement end-to-end - from design to deployment

Start shaping technical decisions on architecture, tooling, or infrastructure

Build relationships with Forward Deployed Engineers and customers to understand where the product needs to go next

What you'll do in your first 90 days

Take ownership of a core product area (conversational AI, workflows, or integrations) and drive its roadmap

Lead technical initiatives that ship directly to customers - not internal tools that sit on a shelf

Help establish engineering best practices and mentor newer engineers as the team scales

Have a real seat at the table on product and technical strategy as an early engineer at a high-growth company

What You'll Need

4+ years (Engineer) / 6+ years (Sr. Engineer) / 8+ years (Staff Engineer) of experience building production software, preferably some at startups

Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team

Self-motivated and able to work independently

Nice to Have

Experience deploying reliable LLM-based products in production

Experience with Vite + TanStack technologies (Router/Query/Table)

Experience with Temporal
