Senior Backend Engineer, AI First

Tel Aviv, Israel | Tech Development

Not your everyday company

Lemonade completely reinvented how insurance works. As a customer-centric tech company, we created an insurance experience that is smart, instant, and delightful.

At Lemonade, you'll be working with a group of like-minded makers, who get a kick out of moving fast and delivering great products. We surround ourselves with some of the smartest, most motivated, creative people who are filled with positive energy and good karma.

Unlike most publicly traded companies, we're nimble and efficient. We take pride in the fact that we still think and operate like a startup. We don't care much about titles and hierarchy and instead focus on innovation, bold moves, and challenging the status quo.

We're built as a lean, data-driven organization that relies on a common understating of objectives and goals to provide teams with autonomy and ownership. We don't like spending our days in meetings and we skip committees altogether. At Lemonade, there's no such thing as going over someone's head. We have zero tolerance for bureaucracy, office politics, and lean-back personalities.

As a Public Benefit Corporation and a certified B-Corp, we deliver environmental and social impact using our products and tech. Through our Giveback program, we partner with organizations such as the ACLU, New Story, The Humane Society, Malala Fund, American Red Cross, , charity: water, and dozens of others, and have donated millions towards reforestation, education, animal rights, LGBTQ+ causes, access to water, and more.

What you're applying for

We're building something pretty wild here, an insurance company that actually runs itself. While others talk about AI, we're shipping it. Our bots handle claims in seconds, our systems learn from every interaction, and our engineers get to work on problems that didn't exist five years ago.

We're looking for a senior backend engineer in our Tel Aviv office who gets excited about this stuff.

You'll be building the platforms that power everything from instant claims to personalized pricing. Think TypeScript with NestJS, all running on Kubernetes. But the cool part? Our own tools handle the boring stuff (deployments, environments, even git branches) so you can focus on the interesting problems.

• Ship features that millions of customers will use
• Work directly with the smartest PMs, Engineers, Designers, and Data Scientists in a zero bureaucracy environment
• Own your domain end-to-end: write it, ship it, monitor it, improve it
• Help other engineers level up

• Passion for agentic coding and GenAI
• 6+ years building backend systems that real people depend on
• Experience with bots, AI, or LLMs (bonus if you've shipped something customers actually used)
• A history of building things that scale—high traffic, real money, can't-go-down systems
• CS/Math degree or equivalent experience
• Ability to work in an office environment a minimum of 3 days a week
• Enthusiasm about learning and adapting to the exciting world of AI – a commitment to exploring this field is a fundamental part of our culture
