Full Stack Software Engineer
About SafeLease
At SafeLease, we're rethinking how P&C insurance is sold in an age of technological change. We believe the industry's biggest inefficiencies aren't technical problems - they're structural ones. And we're building the team to tackle them.
SafeLease is a profitable insurance business that designs, underwrites, and distributes specialty coverage for commercial property owners and their tenants. Most insurance companies either distribute products or bear the risk - we do both. We back our policies with our own capital, which means we control the full stack: product design, tech, and the speed at which we move. That end-to-end ownership lets us offer customers real flexibility, saving time and money for more than 4,000 properties insured for billions in value nationwide.
We're a team of 70, growing over 100% annually, and we've done it without sacrificing profitability or culture. Here, you'll get high discretion and a wide aperture of problems to solve. We embrace the newest technologies, move fast together, and operate with the intensity of a small company where every person's work is visible. If you're looking for a place to sharpen your craft alongside people who take their work seriously, you'll fit right in.
SafeLease is looking for a driven Full Stack Engineer. In this role, you’ll work across the entire stack building, testing, and shipping features. You'll collaborate closely with company leadership, playing a key role in solving high-impact technical challenges and shaping the future of our platform.

Contribute across the stack - Write clean, maintainable code across our platform with a focus on reliability, performance, and simplicity
Build customer-facing features - Collaborate with Product and Design to create intuitive, user-first functionality
Tackle technical challenges - Help debug issues, improve code quality, and strengthen system reliability
Focus on growth and learning - Take ownership of your work while being open to feedback and opportunities to grow as an engineer
Work collaboratively - Participate in code reviews, planning sessions, and team discussions to build shared understanding and alignment
Embrace iteration and improvement - Contribute ideas that help us move faster, build smarter, and work better as a team
