About FutureProof

FutureProof is a growing, venture-backed team building a uniquely climate-smart property insurer. We price flood, fire, and hurricane risk at a granularity the industry can’t match.

Building insurance well requires genuine skill, and the people who can do it are rare. As other insurers retreat from places like California and Florida, we assess what actually makes a home survive these increasingly frequent events, and write the policies that let people keep living in the ones that can. We have a big vision: to create insurance products to cover the risk from climate-related disasters, and motivate investment in climate adaptation.

We have automated large portions of the insurance pipeline, from instant quoting to underwriting decisions, risk modeling, and policy lifecycle management. We’re looking for a keen engineer to help us take business processes that have been manual for decades in the rest of the industry into a cloud-native, modern technical domain. There’s no established playbook for doing that; you’ll be the one to figure out what good looks like.

Our Stack

Most of our active services are written in Rust on the backend, and TypeScript on the frontend; we’ve seen coding agents work well using these languages’ type systems to catch mistakes early. Most resources are hosted in Google Cloud, and managed with OpenTofu.

About You

You think first and foremost about the users of your systems. You delight in building software that’s easy to use, that’s designed to empower users without getting in the way. You know when it’s the right time to work with domain experts on other teams to come up with a cohesive product, and when it’s time to use your good judgment and creativity to exceed everyone’s expectations.

You’re fluent in agentic coding and modern LLM tooling, and you are excited to use these tools routinely because they add tremendous swiftness and scope to your work. You can take a vague problem, break it into something an agent can execute, and direct the agent across the entire stack—a web page that looks good and loads fast, an API that’s reliable and secure—without necessarily writing or reading every line of code yourself. Because you’ve been experimenting, you’ve also run into agents’ limitations, and you know how to work with (and around) them. You’re used to delivering systems that work correctly, and have good intuitions about how long they’ll take to build.

You act with kindness and empathy, and both expect and bring out those qualities in others. You enjoy both teaching and learning from your colleagues, and work hard to develop and encourage the culture of bold creativity that comes from openness and collaboration.

You want to be part of a company that is changing how insurance and the broader financial sector manage climate risk. You are inspired to bring new climate solutions to the market.

Your title and compensation at FutureProof will be commensurate with your skills and experience. We offer competitive salaries, plus early-stage startup-level equity that gives you a meaningful stake in the company.

Responsibilities

This is a full-time position. In this role, you will:

Design and ship APIs used by employees, partners, and the general public
Take features from a rough idea to working software, iterating quickly and meeting ambitious deadlines
Work closely with the insurance product team to turn fuzzy requirements into clear, correct product behavior
Keep quality high by making sure your systems are tested as they change
Ensure systems follow best security practices to protect our customers’ private data
Monitor and debug production systems to ensure they’re behaving as expected

The role is remote and the job can be done from anywhere in the United States.

Useful experience

Designing products with a strong focus on UX and delighting users
Shipping real software that people actually use, and iterating on it based on their feedback
Using coding agents to do work outside your own expertise, and seeing that succeed beyond just a demo
Working in a cloud environment (we use Google Cloud, but any experience helps)
Handling sensitive data securely in a regulated environment
Making sure software is actually tested before it ships
Strong communication skills, especially translating between technology and business terms
Making technical decisions on things you own and driving initiatives to completion

If you don’t check every box, apply anyway. We care more about how you think and ship than about matching keywords.
