About Reserv

Reserv is an insurtech creating and incubating cutting-edge AI and automation technology to bring efficiency and simplicity to claims. Founded by insurtech veterans with deep experience in SaaS and digital claims, Reserv is venture-backed by Bain Capital and Altai Ventures and began operations in May 2022. We are focused on automating highly manual tasks to tackle long-standing problems in claims and set a new standard for TPAs, insurance technology providers, and adjusters alike.

 

We have ambitious (but attainable!) goals and need people who can work in an evolving environment. If building a leading TPA and the prospect of tackling the long-standing challenges of the claims role sounds exciting, we can’t wait to meet you.

About the role

 

As a full stack engineer at Reserv, you'll be at the heart of our growth journey, shaping the future of our technology and platform. You are a passionate engineer with strong backend skills, and the desire to build high-quality, scalable, and maintainable applications. You thrive on bringing user stories to life, delivering exceptional end-to-end experiences. Collaboration is key at Reserv, and we value team members who are eager to work cross-functionally and drive innovation. If you're excited about molding the future of our product and making a lasting impact, we want you on our team. Join us on this exciting journey to revolutionize the industry!

 

Who you are

 

• Highly motivated and growth-oriented. You're always looking to learn, hone your craft, and take on new challenges.
• Demonstrated fluency with modern technologies. You have strong back-end experience in any high-level language (e.g., Ruby, Python, Node.js) and are comfortable working with (or learning) TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Next.js, React, or GraphQL to deliver end-to-end features.
• Experienced with communicating and collaborating across functions to proactively drive solutions.
• Eager to learn about the insurance claims industry and positively impact the people involved.

 

 

What we need

We need you to do all the things typical to the role:

• Work with our tech stack: Ruby/Ruby on Rails, React, Typescript, and others when needed
• Help distill the core interactions a customer of Reserv will need to be successful in using our product, from the homepage, to the developer dashboard, to documentation centers and SDKs
• Ship frontend and backend components that improve the Reserv product experience
• Commit on your first day, and deploy code continuously
• As we scale our product & engineering teams, collaborate closely with our product ops, design, and sales teams, as well as mentor junior engineers
• Communicate ideas and specifications through detailed, precise writing
• Influence the culture, values, and processes of a growing engineering team
• Enjoy and have fun being creative and thinking outside of the box. You will need to draw on analogous situations you’ve worked on before, but we are not traversing well-traveled roads. “Where we’re going, we don’t need roads!”

Requirements

 

• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying production-ready software using Ruby (and frameworks such as Ruby on Rails) and some familiarity or willingness to work with modern front-end technologies (React, Typescript) when needed.
• Proven track record of delivering high-quality, reliable software. We appreciate engineers who explore side projects, contribute to open-source, or publish technical content, demonstrating a passion for continuous learning.
• Deep expertise in backend development. You understand API design, data modeling, performance optimization, and security best practices - while still keeping the user experience in mind.
• Versatility and willingness to learn. You’re primarily focused on the backend, but you’re comfortable stepping into front-end or infrastructure tasks when needed - whether its debugging a React component, fixing a security vulnerability, or helping optimize CI/CD pipelines.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, comfortable partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver seamless product experiences.
• Bonus: Ruby (Ruby on Rails), Python, React, Typescript

 

Benefits

 

• Generous health-insurance package with nationwide coverage, vision, & dental
• 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching
