Company Description
Harbor.ai is an InsurTech startup aiming to revolutionize the enterprise insurance market. Our technology simplifies the process for insurance brokers to identify optimal coverage for their clients continuously, and this is just the beginning. Our mission is to revolutionize underwriting for better, faster, and smarter processes. As we pursue this goal, we are implementing a data-driven business model that fundamentally reshapes how insurance products are sold. Established in 2018, Harbor.ai is venture-backed and based in New York.
This position is 100% on-site at our Corporate Headquarters in New York City.
About the Role:
We're hiring a versatile Fullstack Engineer to make an impact across Harbor.ai. You'll rotate between different projects — Harbor Platform (our core app), Testing Infrastructure, and helping launch New Products and Initiatives.
You'll work end-to-end across a microservices architecture:
- Frontend: React + TypeScript
- Backend: Python + Flask
Quality is not an afterthought here — you'll own testing as a first-class responsibility: designing and maintaining automated test suites, improving our frameworks, and raising the reliability bar across the platform.
We're looking for someone who thrives in fast-changing environments, can ramp quickly, and enjoys changing projects on a need basis. If you want broad surface area, real ownership, and a role that keeps you learning and having tremendous impact, this is it!

- Demonstrated expertise deploying and scaling applications on a major cloud provider
- Hands-on experience containerizing applications with Docker and orchestrating with Kubernetes
- Track record of designing, shipping, and supporting API-driven architectures
- Proficiency building automated deployment pipelines and continuous integration workflows
Responsibilities
Frontend Development
- Build and maintain React 18 applications using TypeScript
- Develop microfrontends using a module federation approach

Backend Development
- Build and maintain Flask REST APIs
- Work with multiple relational, document, graph, and caching database systems
- Develop and maintain async task processing pipelines
- Optimize API performance through caching and efficient query design
