bit about us: Our platform consists of three primary elements: data
collection, automated underwriting, and policy administration. Our
mission is to create the first comprehensive platform that combines
top-tier insurance offerings with world-class software so
commercial businesses can manage risk and prevent losses. We
started with the $10T commercial construction industry and are
expanding to new verticals in 2025. To date, Shepherd has raised
$20M from top-tier VCs including Y-Combinator, Susa Ventures, Spark
Capital, Costanoa Ventures, Era Ventures, Greenlight RE, and Intact
Ventures. Our Thesis: We believe that technology can solve the
sustainability challenges facing commercial insurance. To
accomplish this, we’re building a platform that incentivizes our
clients to adopt the best tools when they buy our coverage. Across
construction and other commercial markets, technology is available
but fundamentally underutilized, despite the potential for
improving loss outcomes and stopping this crisis. Why join us? Why
Join Us: We're looking for a talented software engineer who's

underwriting, design, product management). Play an integral role in
building our culture as the company grows. Collaborate closely with
PM, Mo (CTO), and the insurance team (underwriters, actuaries, and
more!). What We Look For: Previously shipped high-quality products
daily at an early startup or as a founding engineer. Experience
working exclusively at big tech companies. Proficiency in backend
development with Node.js, Postgres, Redis, Typescript, and GraphQL
APIs. Expertise in frontend development with React, Next.js,

and fostering their growth. Interest in the built-world and
