Who We Are

DataBraid is not your typical startup—we're on a mission to revolutionize the insurance industry by building a next-gen infrastructure platform. Imagine seamless data connectivity that empowers insurance companies to innovate faster, deliver exceptional customer experiences, and future-proof their technology. If you've ever wanted to create something from the ground up that truly transforms an entire industry, keep reading.

The Gig

We’re looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer to join the founding team. You’ll work side-by-side with our CTO and help shape not just the codebase but the entire company. We’re talking real influence — everything from big tech decisions to product strategy, all while working with a team that thrives on collaboration and transparency.

In this role, you’ll:

  • Be part of the founding team with direct input into the company’s strategic vision.
  • Work closely with Koru’s elite squad of product, design, and growth experts to build our MVP.
  • Architect, code, and iterate—while also helping guide agile processes as we learn and adapt fast.
  • Get scrappy. Some days you’re designing the future of insurance; other days, you’re getting deep into the nitty-gritty details of making it happen.

What We’re Looking For

  • Polyglot Dev: You have 7+ years of experience working with a mix of coding languages (Python, TypeScript, Node, etc.).
  • Architect Extraordinaire: You’ve got experience building large-scale infrastructure, from backend to SaaS, APIs, and automation platforms.
  • Risk Taker: You’re comfortable with the ambiguity of startups and ready to make big bets with us.
  • API Rockstar: You know how to build high-quality, scalable APIs and have a passion for improving the developer experience.
  • 0-to-1 Builder: Been part of an early team before? Even better. You know what it’s like to bring a product to life from scratch.
  • Leadership savvy: You’ve successfully led major projects and are ready to mentor future hires as we grow.

Bonus Points If You

  • Have experience with RPA, web scraping, or developer products.
  • Are familiar with our tech stack: FastAPI, Pydantic, Docker, Kubernetes, Django, AWS S3.
  • Can show us some apps you’ve built that prove you’re as skilled at frontend as you are backend.

What’s In It For You

  • Real equity—3-5% stock options.
  • A chance to build something big from the ground up.
  • Remote-first culture with a team that knows how to collaborate across time zones.
  • Regular trips to Toronto, Canada to brainstorm, build, and socialize with the team (monthly, short-term travel).
  • Support from Koru’s venture studio, giving you access to experts in tech, design, and product from Day 1.

This venture will be headquartered in the UK and will have a fully remote/global team, supporting the Canadian market as our first commercial focus.
