About the job
Corgi builds insurance products for tech startups, using AI to power underwriting and streamline payments. The company operates as a licensed carrier and recently raised $108 million to fuel growth across the UK and EU. The core platform relies on Django and integrates Stripe for payments. The London team is expanding to support this next phase.
Role overview
The Senior Full-Stack Engineer role centers on taking products from idea to launch with little oversight.

This is a hands-on role focused on building, not just maintaining existing systems.
