About Testudo

Testudo is building a new category of technology, data and insurance products to underwrite enterprise AI risk. We deliver risk transfer solutions - insurance, and real-time risk monitoring/AI security technology to businesses deploying generative AI. This enables them to innovate with confidence and accelerate safe adoption of AI technologies.

Our mission: insure the AI economy.

We're a tight-knit, in‑person team of domain specialists in San Francisco building the technology stack that will insure the AI economy across enterprise AI deployments, self-driving cars and robotics.

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Full‑Stack Engineer to help build the core services of our underwriting and risk monitoring platforms. You’ll help shape both our product and engineering culture from the ground up and you’ll have end-to-end ownership of features, experiment and ship fast.

This is a zero‑politics, high‑trust environment. You’ll have real product input, direct access to customers, and the mandate to move fast. You must have high raw horsepower.

Why Join Us

• You’ll own mission-critical systems, which will manage billions+ of dollars of real financial risk capital including underwriting pipelines and monitoring dashboards.
• You’ll collaborate closely with founders, data scientists, market experts, mentors/advisers and product leaders, to build critical business applications.
• We move fast, ship often, and value engineers who can wear many hats — front-end, back-end, ops, cowboy and beyond.

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain key backend services that power our underwriting and risk monitoring platforms.
• Design, build, and own end-to-end features across Next.js/React, Node.js/TypeScript, and Python + SQLAlchemy/Postgres.
• Lead complex system design, ensure scalability, observability, and robustness in fast-evolving AI risk domains.
