About the job

Corgi is a licensed insurance carrier focused on tech startups, using AI to simplify and speed up coverage. The company has raised $108M and is expanding across the UK and EU. The platform relies on Django, integrates Stripe for payments, and features AI-driven underwriting.

Role overview

This founding engineer role is based in London and centers on building and launching new products, often independently. Corgi values engineers who turn ideas into live products, rather than following detailed roadmaps. Evidence of shipped side projects, weekend builds, or products that have reached real users is highly regarded.

Who succeeds here

  • Track record of independently building and delivering real projects
  • Comfortable working across the full technology stack
  • Delivers results quickly, in hours or days
  • Low-ego, motivated by results rather than titles
  • Open to feedback and willing to adopt better ideas
  • Thrives in a high-energy startup setting

How we work

  • Decisions are made quickly; perfection is not the goal
  • Products and processes ship regularly, not just quarterly
  • Iteration happens after shipping, not after long review cycles
  • High intensity during launches, with a steady pace year-round
  • Transparent decision-making; no closed-door policies
  • Internal competition is encouraged to raise standards

This is a hands-on role for builders who want to make things happen.

Behaviors that don’t fit

  • Office politics, gossip, or avoiding responsibility
  • Taking direct feedback personally instead of constructively
  • Adding unnecessary overhead instead of streamlining
  • Missing deadlines after committing to them

Application process

  • Send links to your GitHub, personal website, live projects, or shipped products
  • CVs are not accepted
  • Email applications to: sergio@corgi.com
  • Evidence of shipped work is required for consideration

Location and compensation

  • Role is based in London; on-site or hybrid arrangements available
  • Base salary: £75,000–£140,000, plus equity
  • Salary band reflects proven shipping ability, not job titles
