Full Stack Software Engineer

About SafeLease

SafeLease builds and sells insurance products for commercial property owners. Our reinsurance and asset management businesses insure over 4,000 properties, 500,000 tenants, and have over $1B of AUM. Our team of technologists, agents, and underwriters simplifies complex risks to intelligently allocate capital and deliver policies quickly and affordably.

We focus on insurance products for the self-storage industry but are rapidly expanding our suite of services to other industries. We believe traditional commercial insurance can be distributed faster and cheaper. To do that, we’ve brought the entire insurance value chain—distribution, underwriting, and reinsurance—under one roof to drive innovation in an industry that’s ripe for change.

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.

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

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.

Your experience:

• 2+ years of experience in full-stack software development with exposure to shipping real-world applications

• Background in CS/EE, a coding bootcamp, or equivalent hands-on experience building production systems

• Comfortable with Frontend (TypeScript, JavaScript, React), Backend (Node.js, Express.js, REST APIs), and Infrastructure (relational databases, Git, AWS) technologies

• Willingness to learn and adopt best-in-class tools like Linear, Cursor, and other fast-moving AI-powered developer tools

• Solid communication skills and a collaborative mindset—willing to ask questions, give input, and support your teammates

• DevOps experience is a bonus, especially if you’re interested in understanding how code runs in production

• Excited to work in-person or hybrid from our beautiful downtown Austin office
