The role
We are looking for a passionate engineer to build the financial platforms for our insurance and lending products. You will work on features and services that reduce the financial stress and burden of fertility treatments and increase operational efficiency.
As a Product Engineer, you will be responsible for shipping innovative features and solutions at breakneck speed. If you are someone who loves solving problems for customers, cares about software engineering as a craft, and finds thrill in building startups, we want to talk to you.
What you will own
Designing and building scalable software to deliver a world class digital experience to our customers, integrating complex financial processes (like underwriting, insurance, risk scoring, loan servicing, payments)
Scoping and leading technical projects, laying the groundwork for our products to iteratively evolve, scale and deliver outcomes
Making effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and technical feasibility
Collaborating closely with our product, design, ops and data teams to prioritise and build solutions and deliver customer and business outcomes
Improving the developer experience and quality of our systems by investing in tooling, infrastructure, code quality, automated testing and observability
Setting the engineering culture with the rest of the team by defining how we should work as a team, set standards for quality, and improve the speed of engineering execution
You’ll be great for this role if you
You have experienced life as a full-stack engineer (backend leaning is ideal!) in a startup for over 3 years
Technical Skills:
Fluent in Python (Frappe) and TypeScript ecosystems
Experience with MariaDB or any other RDBMS
Strong technical background in building high-quality code and infrastructure
Preference for simple solutions over complex ones
You are experienced in working with PostgreSQL
You're resilient working in ambiguity while seamlessly balancing tactical and strategic considerations
You're ready to hit the ground running with a strong technical background, including experience building high-quality code and infrastructure
You enjoy working as part of a small, cross-functional team in close partnership with other cross-functional teams
You prefer simple solutions and designs over complex ones
You like to take ownership of problems. Our product spans across healthcare, insurance and finance. You will need to find creative solutions and get others on board with them
You approach understanding and solving problems holistically, not only from a tech point of view
We always prefer passion over skills. If you do not tick all of the above requirements but are excited about our mission and values, please get in touch!
How we build at Gaia
We work in small cross-functional teams collaborating closely across our entire business
We believe work should be shipped and improved in small iterations with the help of early feedback from Members and internal users

Our tech stack is built of strongly typed TypeScript, Next.js + React.js, Nest.js, PostgreSQL and SQS
Our production services run on AWS and Vercel. We automate infrastructure and configuration using Pulumi and Github Actions
Our observability stack is built up of Cloudwatch, Grafana and Sentry
Throughout the interview process, we are looking for...
You can take on big, loosely defined projects, break them down, and deliver them in an intuitive and digestible way
You are comfortable working in a constantly-changing environment, regularly questioning and challenging the status quo
You are able to understand problems deeply and holistically
You can communicate complex topics clearly and concisely
You show the potential to mentor other engineers as the team builds
