Platform Engineer

At Comulate, we’re building software that’s creating a radically more exciting future for insurance's back office teams. Our platform, which reinvents a decades-old manual accounting process, is the first step in our vision to transform the $7T insurance industry.

Why you should consider joining

• In less than 18 months, we’ve gone from zero → millions of ARR, representing 95th+ percentile company growth across startups that make it this far

• Strong product market fit revealed in users that describe the product as “the best thing since sliced bread” and "changing my life"

• Our talented small & mighty (<20 person) team is already serving large public and private enterprises, driving 7-figure ROI for companies typically not sold to until Series C/D stage

• We're continuing to take big, ambitious bets but able to do so responsibly with cash-flow positive operations and a committed customer-base signing multi-year contracts, providing the best of both worlds: outsized employee ownership and low company risk

• Massive opportunity to further deploy AI into core workflows we serve today and in the future

• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), such as Terraform or CloudFormation

• Understanding of networking in AWS involving VPCs and VPNs.

Our team & philosophy

We’re backed by Spark Capital (Natalie Sandman) and founders/executives from Brex, Asana, Plaid, Applied Intuition, Coalition, and more. Our team hails from companies like Airbnb, Google, Brex, and LiveRamp.

We're also fairly low-profile: we don't seek media coverage or validation from peers; we instead focus that energy on delivering for customers and building a category-defining company.

We’re hiring predominantly in San Francisco 🌁, as we believe in-person collaboration is strategically important for a company at our stage — both for velocity and company culture.
