## About this role.

AI SummaryPolicyMe is hiring a junior full-stack engineer to build AI-powered insurance products for brokers and customers. The role spans Python backend services, React and Redux interfaces, PostgreSQL data work, AWS, and AI-model/API integrations. The engineer will work closely with senior AI engineers while contributing to architecture, code reviews, release planning, and end-to-end feature delivery. This is a remote-first Canadian role in a fast-moving startup environment emphasizing learning, ownership, collaboration, and practical AI experimentation.

Sample interview questionsDescribe a full-stack feature you built and how you designed the interaction between the frontend, backend, and database.I would explain the user problem first, then describe the API contract, backend validation and business logic, database schema or query decisions, and the React user flow. I would also cover testing, error handling, and what I learned from monitoring or user feedback after release.

How would you integrate an AI model or external AI API into a production document-processing workflow?

I would begin by defining a measurable task and expected output schema, then build a backend service that handles authentication, retries, rate limits, validation, logging, and fallbacks. I would protect sensitive information, evaluate output quality with representative examples, and keep human review or deterministic validation for high-impact insurance decisions.

What steps would you take to improve a slow PostgreSQL-backed API endpoint?

I would first measure the endpoint and inspect query plans to identify the bottleneck. Depending on the findings, I would reduce unnecessary data retrieval, add or adjust indexes, avoid N+1 queries, paginate results, and consider caching only after confirming it fits the consistency requirements.

How do you approach learning an unfamiliar framework such as LangChain, LangGraph, or n8n?

I start with official documentation and a small proof of concept tied to a real use case. I identify the framework's core abstractions, build a focused experiment, document tradeoffs, and seek feedback from experienced teammates before introducing it into a production workflow.

Tell us about a time you received difficult feedback in a code review.

I would thank the reviewer, clarify the underlying concern, and focus on the technical outcome rather than defending my initial implementation. I would revise the change, explain what changed and why, and use the feedback to improve my future design and review practices.

Overview of the role

We’re on a mission to modernize insurance, making it simpler, more accessible, and customer-first. The insurance industry is a $1T market that’s remained largely untouched by the digital revolution, and PolicyMe is here to change that. As a remote-first, Toronto-based startup with big ambitions, we’re building the future of insurance in Canada and beyond.

We’re building a groundbreaking new product line that will transform the insurance broker experience through AI and machine learning. As an AI-Driven Full Stack Engineer, you’ll be part of a team charting new territory – designing and implementing intelligent systems that automate manual processes and unlock powerful data-driven insights.

You will work across the stack, contributing to front end, back end, and AI/ML initiatives, while also participating in architecture discussions, release planning, and company-wide engineering initiatives. Our core stack includes Python, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, n8n, LangChain/LangGraph and AWS, and we are always open to adopting new tools and technologies that help us deliver better results.

### What you’ll be doing:

* Develop full stack features for our AI-powered web application using Python, React, Redux, PostgreSQL and AWS
* Integrate AI models and APIs for tasks like document processing, data extraction, recommendation engines etc.
* Work closely with Sr. Engineers experienced in AI to seamlessly integrate models into production
* Stay current on emerging AI technologies/frameworks and explore new applications
* Build scalable, reliable backend services to fuel our AI workflows
* Create intuitive user experiences that surface AI-powered capabilities
* Participate in architecture planning, code reviews, and ideation sessions
* Take ownership of feature development end-to-end (once ramped up), coordinating with QA and other teams
* Engage in cross-team communication to help unblock dependencies and improve release flow
* Share ideas during quarterly planning to help shape what we build next
* Participate in company-wide initiatives such as hackathons, engineering guilds, and AI tooling experiments

### What we are looking for:

* Strong full-stack development skills with the ability to work across backend and frontend using Python, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, and AWS
* Familiarity with AI/ML concepts from coursework, side projects, or work experience
* Passion for building intelligent applications that solve real-world problems
* Eagerness to learn, embrace ambiguity, and continually upskill in a rapidly evolving space
* Hands-on experience or projects interacting with AI APIs/models (e.g. prompt engineering)
* Self-starter with a career-driven mindset who thrives in an environment with autonomy and accountability
* Collaborative team player with low ego who is open to feedback and eager to help others
* Detail-oriented approach to problem-solving, especially in complex domains

### Why join us:

* Generous PTO – 20 vacation days
* A comprehensive benefits plan with premiums paid in full by PolicyMe
* Investment in your professional development, including an L&D budget, AI tooling budget, performance reviews twice a year and ongoing feedback to ensure you reach your highest potential
* An extremely high performing, low-ego, remote-first team that is truly disrupting an old industry
* Option to work from home or our Toronto-based office (bonus: we cover the costs to bring all our employees in-person twice a year for experiential socials!)
* Access to stock options based on performance
* Compensation: The total target cash compensation for this role is $80,000–$110,000 CAD, based on experience. We’ll walk through the details together during the interview.
