Our mission is to create the first comprehensive platform that combines top-tier insurance offerings with world-class software so commercial businesses can manage risk and prevent losses. We’re starting with the $10T commercial construction industry.
Our thesis is that technology can solve the sustainability challenges facing commercial insurance, and to accomplish this we’re building a platform that incentivizes our clients to adopt the best tools when they buy our coverage. Across construction and other commercial markets, technology is available but fundamentally underutilized, despite the potential for improving loss outcomes and stopping this crisis.
To date, Shepherd has raised $20M+ from top tier VCs including Y-Combinator, Susa Ventures, Spark Capital, Costanoa Ventures, Era Ventures, Greenlight RE and Intact Ventures.
We're looking for a talented senior software engineer who's passionate about what we're building and ready to do the best work of their career.

You aren't afraid of ambiguity, and it may even excite you
You enjoy shipping product every day (maybe multiple times a day)
You enjoy wearing multiple hats while solving problems; as an engineer, product manager, and designer
You care about the built-world and how to improve construction safety and productivity
You care about others' growth and welcome mentoring other engineers

You will play an integral role in building our culture as the company grows
