Software Engineer (New Grad)

About Strada

Strada is on a mission to reinvent how insurance carriers and brokers handle customer interactions across service, claims intake, and sales.

We build agentic voice, chat and email AI that helps Property & Casualty (P&C) and Life insurance teams turn frustrating customer experiences into instant, personalized conversations. From new quotes to servicing to First Notice of Loss (FNOL) calls, Strada automates the routine so that teams can focus on what actually matters.

We're growing incredibly fast and expanding our footprint with top carriers and brokers across the U.S. and abroad. This is a career-defining role for someone who wants to build within a trillion-dollar industry at an inflection point for AI adoption.

Why Insurance?

Insurance quietly powers the global economy. It helps businesses stay open, families recover from disasters, and entire industries manage risk. If a factory burns down or a hurricane hits, insurance is what gets things moving again.

But the way insurance operates hasn't changed in decades. Many frontline workflows still rely on phone calls and legacy systems. We're building AI that plugs into those workflows and makes them radically faster, smarter, and more efficient.

The Role

We're looking for a Software Engineer to join as one of our earliest engineering hires. You'll work across the stack to build the core systems that power our AI agents – from real-time voice infrastructure to integrations with insurance platforms.

This is a high-impact role where you'll ship production code from day one, learn fast, and grow alongside the company.

What You'll Do In Your First...

Week

• Ship your first PR to production (on the first day) - no months of onboarding, you're contributing from day one

• Get hands-on with our voice AI stack and understand how we're automating thousands of insurance calls daily

• Meet the team, shadow customer calls, and see exactly how your code impacts real users

30 Days

• Own a feature end-to-end - from scoping to shipping - that directly improves how our AI agents handle customer conversations

• Optimize live systems handling real insurance workflows for major carriers

• Start building intuition for the insurance domain and understand why this $1T+ industry is ripe for AI

90 Days

• Take ownership of a core product area and drive meaningful improvements independently

• Contribute to launches that land in front of customers - not internal tools that sit on a shelf

• Have a real seat at the table on product and technical decisions as employee #10 at a company that just went from $0 to $1M ARR in 9 months

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field

• Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and system design

• Experience building software in internships, coursework, or personal projects

• Comfort working across the stack – we use TypeScript, React, and Node.js

• Thrive in fast-moving, high-ownership environments

Nice to Have

• Experience with real-time systems, WebSockets, or telephony

• Familiarity with AI/LLM-based platforms or prompt engineering

• Prior experience at an early-stage startup

• Contributions to open source projects

What We Offer

• Competitive salary ($110K - $140K) & meaningful equity (0.1% - 0.25%)

• Employee-friendly equity terms (restricted stock)

• Macbook Pro, 4K display and all the accessories

• Health, dental & vision insurance

• Regular team events & offsites

• Daily team dinners provided (Mon–Fri)

• Gym membership

Why Strada?

• Join a small, energetic, in-person team

• Build real-world AI that's already saving customers hundreds of hours

• Transform a $1T+ industry that touches nearly every household and business

• Help shape the future of human-AI collaboration in critical business processes
