Curacel - No 1 Claims and Fraud detection Platform for African Insurers.
Your Objective
Be a foundational engineer who thrives in ambiguity and sets the technical bar. You are obsessive about solving problems with code and you live at the intersection of AI, engineering, and value creation. You are self aware enough to validate the problem behind what you build and you enjoy creating measurable customer value. You will design and ship end to end systems, partner tightly with Product, Design, Customer Success, and Sales on real customer workflows, and turn vague problems into shippable software with speed and quality.
What you will do
- Design and build scalable, secure backend services and APIs from scratch; own infra, observability, and performance for what you ship.
- Make pragmatic architectural decisions that balance speed, correctness, and long-term maintainability.
- Partner with Product, Design, CS, and Sales to power high-value customer workflows and close the learn–ship loop
- Ship AI-assisted features and internal agents using prompt patterns, structured outputs, function calling, retrieval, and vector stores; measure quality with evaluation harnesses.
- Build and maintain integrations between our Grow platform and third-party enterprise apps
- Lead technical design reviews; contribute to code and production-readiness reviews.
- Mentor less-experienced engineers through pairing, clear examples, and actionable feedback.
- Debug and resolve production issues across the stack with strong observability and crisp runbooks.
- Build with security, privacy, and compliance in mind for regulated financial and insurance data.
- Wear many hats—architect, builder, product partner, mentor—and disagree-and-commit to keep the team moving.
What you will own
- Service quality: performance, reliability, security, and cost awareness.
- Delivery cadence: fast CI/CD, robust automated tests, incremental and reversible changes.
- Engineering standards: DDD, clean OOP, code quality, and pragmatic documentation.
- Visibility: self-serve dashboards for service health, latency, errors, and business KPIs.
You might be a fit if you have
- 5+ years shipping production systems end-to-end, ideally with Laravel and Vue.
- Strong system design for data-intensive, distributed, or event-driven systems.
- Solid grasp of CI/CD and TDD with automated test suites and pipelines.
- Working knowledge of Domain-Driven Design and clean OOP principles.
- Hands-on mindset and high ownership; you learn what you need to get the job done and share that knowledge.
- You tinker with AI weekly—LLMs, agents, evals, or automation—and bring those wins into your workflow.
- Clear communication, evidence-based decisions, and comfort operating in high-velocity environments.
