Staff Software Engineer

About the Role

We’re looking for Staff Software Engineers to help build the systems that power an AI-native insurance company.

Insurance operations are sprawling: underwriting, claims, premium finance, broker operations, member support, care navigation, and more. Most companies run these functions through fragmented vendors, legacy software, and manual workflows. At Arlo, we build our own infrastructure.

You’ll work closely with operational teams and AI Forward Deployed Engineers to turn real business workflows into AI-native products and internal platforms. The goal isn’t to bolt AI onto existing software; it’s to redesign how the work happens altogether.

We care about engineers who want to own real operational problems end-to-end: product architecture, backend systems, frontend experiences, AI workflows, and production deployment.

What You Will Do

Design and ship full-stack products across the insurance lifecycle, working across React, React Native, TypeScript, Python, Postgres, and modern AI infrastructure.
Build AI-native underwriting systems that synthesize risk, structure messy data, and assist decision-making.
Create claims tooling that automates review, coordination, and document processing workflows.
Develop internal operational platforms for teams managing millions in premiums and healthcare spend.
Build member-facing products that combine conversational AI, navigation, and real-time healthcare workflows.
Design retrieval, memory, and evaluation systems that improve reliability and operational performance over time
Work directly with operational teams to identify bottlenecks and rapidly ship systems that eliminate manual work.
Own projects end-to-end: product architecture, backend systems, frontend experiences, AI integration, and production deployment.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for highly autonomous, product-minded engineers who can take ownership of an operational domain and turn messy real-world workflows into scalable software systems.

Staff Engineers at Arlo work directly with teams across underwriting, claims, premium finance, member experience, and broker operations to deeply understand how the business works and where AI can create leverage. The role is highly hands-on: designing systems, shipping products, integrating AI workflows, and rapidly iterating with the people using what you build.

You Have:

Strong experience building and shipping full-stack products across modern infrastructure (Python, Postgres, TypeScript, React/React Native)
Excellent product and engineering judgment in ambiguous environments
The ability to independently own large systems from idea to production
High standards for execution, velocity, and code quality
