Company Description
Farsyt is an AI-native insurance services company reimagining how insurance is bought, sold and operated -- using automation, data and AI from the ground up.
Small team, high ownership, fast pace, venture-backed. This role is for someone who wants to take real ownership, move quickly, and build systems that matter.
Role Description
Youโll work closely with the founders and early engineers to build core product systems from the ground up.
Build and ship backend systems (APIs, services, data models)
Develop AI-powered workflows that replace manual operations
Integrate with external systems (carrier tools, documents, communication layers)
Build automation pipelines using LLMs and modern AI tooling
Work on asynchronous systems (queues, workers, long-running tasks)
Ship quickly โ from idea โ production in days, not months
You wonโt just be handed tickets โ youโll be expected to understand problems deeply and help shape solutions.
Qualifications
2โ5 years of experience building production systems
Strong backend fundamentals (we use Python)
Comfortable working with APIs, databases, and cloud environments
Ability to learn quickly and operate in a fast-moving environment
Experience or strong interest in modern AI systems (LLMs, RAG, agents)
Solid engineering fundamentals (debugging, data modeling, system design)
Good product instincts โ you care about what youโre building and why
Bonus:
Experience with asynchronous systems (Celery, Redis, cron jobs)
Production experience with LLM-based applications or automation workflows
Familiarity with fintech, insurance, or regulated environments
We care more about how you think and learn than the exact tools youโve used.
Technical Stack
Python (Django/DRF, FastAPI), React/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, AWS, Gemini/OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, Pydantic AI/LangChain, Docker
You donโt need experience with everything here, but you should be comfortable working in production systems and picking up new tools quickly.
The Team
Youโd be joining the founding technical team, with direct input into what gets built and how. The people who join now will shape the company in ways that wonโt be possible later.
Why this role?
Youโll be one of the first engineers โ your decisions will shape the company
Direct access to founders, no layers
Real problems, not toy demos
A massive, outdated industry ready to be rebuilt
Compensation
Location
Cambridge, MA
In-office, 5 days/week โ we believe early-stage teams build best in person.
