Insurance is a $7T general industry built on professional labor: underwriting, claims, pricing, operations, and distribution. Kalepa is building AI that can perform that work. We create professional-grade AI systems for insurers: software that can read, reason, decide, and act inside real workflows and operate over long-time horizons. Our products are already in production with leading insurers, driving measurable outcomes and expanding across functions. The opportunity is far broader than any single workflow: to build the AI operating system for decision-making across insurance. For people who want to work on AI that matters, in a sector where correctness, trust, and real-world impact count, Kalepa is just getting started. Kalepa is backed by leading investors such as IA Ventures and Inspired Capital, and our team brings experience from Facebook, Palantir, Google, Amazon, McKinsey, Mastercard, and Uber. This is the foundation of how we work and how we win. Every feature, every line of code, every decision is measured against one question: does this help insurers make better decisions? Meritocracy
- We're building something exceptional, and that requires exceptional people and ideas. We have a high bar but we reward excellence with rapid growth. Transparency
- We value honest, transparent communication over politics. In addition to our NY office, we have remote employees speaking 10+ languages across the globe. As a Staff engineer on the Submission Processing team,



you’ll work at the intersection of AI and backend engineering and have major ownership and agency: design the systems, make architectural calls under ambiguity, and play a key role in setting the technical direction for the team. You’ll be working on building and scaling LLM-based systems that process billions of highly unstructured data points on a daily basis, extract precise information, and surface insights that insurers rely on for high-stakes decisions. We're a small team where individual contributions have an outsized impact on both our technology and our business. Have 8+ years of software engineering experience. Take full ownership of your work and drive projects to completion with minimal oversight. Thrive on experimentation: you're comfortable testing ideas, measuring results, and iterating quickly on problems no one has solved before. Have experience with AWS and serverless technologies (Lambda, EC2), asynchronous workflows, and cloud environments. Know Python (our main stack), though we’re open to strong candidates from other OO backgrounds Are comfortable with relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL. Bonus: experience with document pipelines and processing large amounts of data Competitive salary (based on experience level*). ~ 20 days of PTO a year. ~ Mobile phone bill stipend. ~ Final compensation will be determined during the offer stage based on relevant experience, performance during the interview process, and geographic location, and may therefore differ from the posted range.
