With a singular focus on insurance, Strada offers domain expertise and product depth that generic AI platforms can't match.\nBacked by Y Combinator and top-tier investors, Strada already automates more than 1M customer interactions for leading insurers, MGAs, and brokers representing $20B+ in annual premiums. Adoption is accelerating across the industry.\nInsurance is one of the largest and most complex industries in the world, and modern AI has the potential to fundamentally reshape how it operates. Strada is replacing fragmented workflows with AI-native infrastructure that runs real operations at scale - at the intersection of AI, infrastructure, and highly regulated real-world systems.\nWe're a small, high-ownership team based in San Francisco, already embedded in production systems at sophisticated insurance organizations. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and shape the future of a massive industry, let's meet.\nWhy Insurance?\nInsurance quietly powers the global economy - it helps businesses stay open, families recover from disasters, and entire industries manage risk. But the way insurance operates hasn't changed in decades. Many frontline workflows still rely on phone calls and legacy systems.\nWe're building AI that plugs into those workflows and makes them radically faster, smarter, and more efficient. It's a $300B+ market ripe for innovation.\nThe Role\nWe're looking for a Software Engineer Intern to join as one of our earliest engineering hires. You'll work across the stack to build the core systems that power our AI agents - from real-time voice infrastructure to integrations with insurance platforms.\nThis is a high-impact role where you'll ship production code from day one, learn fast, and grow alongside the company.\nWhat you'll get done in the first week\nShip your first PR to production (on the first day) - no months of onboarding, you're contributing from day one\n\nGet hands-on with our voice AI stack and understand how we're automating thousands of insurance calls daily\n\nMeet the team, shadow customer calls, and see exactly how your code impacts real users\n\nWhat you'll do in your first 30 days\nOwn a feature end-to-end - from scoping to shipping - that directly improves how our AI agents handle customer conversations\n\nOptimize live systems handling real insurance workflows for major carriers\n\nStart building intuition for the insurance domain and understand why this $1T+ industry is ripe for AI\n\nWhat you'll do in your first 90 days\nTake ownership of a core product area and drive meaningful improvements independently\n\nContribute to launches that land in front of customers - not internal tools that sit on a shelf\n\nHave a real seat at the table on product and technical decisions at a company that just went from $0 to $3M ARR in 18 months\n\nWhat You'll Need\nPursuing a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field\n\nStrong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and system design\n\nExperience building software in internships, coursework, or personal projects\n\nComfort working across the stack - we use TypeScript, React, and Node.js\n\nThrive in fast-moving, high-ownership environments\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with real-time systems, WebSockets, or telephony\n\nFamiliarity with AI/LLM-based platforms or prompt engineering\n\nPrior experience at an early-stage startup\n\nContributions to open source projects\n\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive salary\n\nMacbook Pro, 4K display and all the accessories\n\nRegular team events & offsites\n\nDaily team dinners provided (Mon-Fri)\n\nGym membership\n\n**IMPORTANT NOTE: This position is on-site at our San Francisco office","description_format":"text","description_chars":3858,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Apple Macbook","Gym membership"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Financial AI","InsurTech"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T22:01:22Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":40,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-09T06:01:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":90000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/strada-software-engineer-intern","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/strada-software-engineer-intern.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-10T00:23:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":576,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4424,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":20847},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=20847"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstrada-software-engineer-intern"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fstrada-software-engineer-intern"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fstrada-software-engineer-intern"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/strada-software-engineer-intern\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstrada-software-engineer-intern"}]}
