About Shepherd

Shepherd just completed the W21 batch of Y Combinator, and closed a $1M pre-seed financing round. We're excited to start growing our engineering team!
This is an incredible opportunity to join us at an early stage in a foundational role. Our mantra is to hire founders for as long as possible. You will be more than just a contributor to our code-base, but rather a thought leader, culture builder, and decision-maker.
About you
We're looking for a talented full-stack engineer who's passionate about what we're building and ready to do the best work of their career.
You would be our dream candidate if...
- You aren't afraid of ambiguity, and it may even excite you
- You enjoy shipping product every day (maybe multiple times a day)
- You enjoy wearing multiple hats while solving problems; as an engineer, product manager, and designer
- You care about the built-world and how to improve construction safety and productivity
- You have some experience with insurance – either from a prior InsurTech role or actuarial role
- You have experience working with Javascript (backend and/or frontend)
- You have at least 1-2 years of working experience (preferably as a full-stack engineer)
About the role
Shepherd's platform will consist of three primary elements: data collection, automated underwriting, and policy administration.
- You will own a large area of Shepherd's product experience, in each vertical
- You will work across the stack, even across different disciplines (e.g. underwriting, design, product management)
- You will play an integral role in building our culture as the company grows
- You will collaborate closely with us (Justin, Mo, and Steve) on shaping future roadmaps and making company decisions. You can read more about the founders here.
