About SafeLease

At SafeLease, we're rethinking how P&C insurance is sold in an age of technological change. We believe the industry's biggest inefficiencies aren't technical problems — they're structural ones. And we're building the team to tackle them.

SafeLease is a profitable insurance business that designs, underwrites, and distributes specialty coverage for commercial property owners and their tenants. Most insurance companies either distribute products or bear the risk — we do both. We back our policies with our own capital, which means we control the full stack: product design, tech, and the speed at which we move. That end-to-end ownership lets us offer customers real flexibility, saving time and money for more than 4,000 properties insured for billions in value nationwide.

We're a team of 70, growing over 100% annually, and we've done it without sacrificing profitability or culture. Here, you'll get high discretion and a wide aperture of problems to solve. We embrace the newest technologies, move fast together, and operate with the intensity of a small company where every person's work is visible. If you're looking for a place to sharpen your craft alongside people who take their work seriously, you'll fit right in.

SafeLease is looking for a driven Full Stack Engineer. In this role, you’ll work across the entire stack building, testing, and shipping features. You'll collaborate closely with company leadership, playing a key role in solving high-impact technical challenges and shaping the future of our platform.

About The Role

To drive our mission forward, this role will:

• Contribute across the stack — Write clean, maintainable code across our platform with a focus on reliability, performance, and simplicity

• Build customer-facing features — Collaborate with Product and Design to create intuitive, user-first functionality

• Tackle technical challenges — Help debug issues, improve code quality, and strengthen system reliability

• Focus on growth and learning — Take ownership of your work while being open to feedback and opportunities to grow as an engineer

• Work collaboratively — Participate in code reviews, planning sessions, and team discussions to build shared understanding and alignment

• Embrace iteration and improvement — Contribute ideas that help us move faster, build smarter, and work better as a team

About You

You're a curious and resourceful builder who enjoys solving real-world problems through code. You’re eager to grow your technical skills, collaborate with others, and contribute to a fast-paced, mission-driven team.
