Qualifications

To excel in this role, candidates should possess a strong foundation in software development, preferably with experience in Django and AI technologies. Familiarity with payment systems such as Stripe is advantageous. A willingness to learn and adapt is crucial, alongside a proactive approach to problem-solving.

About the job

Corgi provides insurance for technology startups, using AI to streamline underwriting and operations. With $108 million in funding and full regulatory approval as a licensed carrier, Corgi is expanding into the UK and EU. The platform uses Django, integrates Stripe for payments, and relies on AI-driven processes at every stage.

Role overview

This founding engineer position is based in London and focuses on building and shipping real products. Joining at an early stage, the role involves shaping both the product and company culture as Corgi grows in new markets. The work is hands-on, with a strong emphasis on delivering live solutions rather than just planning or design.

Requirements

  • Track record of independently building and launching projects with real user engagement and polished outcomes
  • Comfort working at a daily pace, prioritizing progress over prolonged planning
  • Ability to work across the technology stack and solve problems directly
  • Strong opinions, balanced by openness to better solutions
  • Humble attitude and genuine drive to build and improve

How Corgi works

  • Decisions are made quickly, without waiting for perfect answers
  • Products and improvements are released regularly, not just quarterly
  • Ship-and-iterate mindset keeps momentum high and avoids bureaucracy
  • Consistent intensity during product pushes, with minimal slowdowns
  • Decisions are made transparently
  • High performers help raise the bar for the team

This is not a passive or comfortable position. The role suits those who want to build and take ownership.

Behaviors that lead to removal

  • Engaging in office politics, avoiding responsibility, or gossiping
  • Treating direct feedback as a personal attack
  • Adding unnecessary complexity instead of improving efficiency
  • Missing deadlines after making commitments

How to apply

Instead of a resume, send links to your work, such as:

  • GitHub repositories
  • Personal website
  • Live projects
  • Shipped applications

Email applications to: sergio@corgi.com

Candidates must have demonstrable projects to share. If not, this role is not a fit.

Location

This position is based in London. On-site or hybrid work options are available.

Compensation

Salary ranges from £75,000 to £140,000, plus equity. The range reflects a focus on real shipping ability over job titles.
