About the role
from listingABOUT COVERBASE
The foundation of the modern global economy is built on a dense network of counterparty trust and risk. In the past 50 years, companies have evolved from relying on a couple of wholesalers and vendors, to utilizing 100+ SaaS vendors, contract partners, and cloud providers. Since each counterparty has their own idiosyncratic internal processes and risk profiles, businesses end up spending millions of dollars and countless man-hours conducting due diligence.
Coverbase’s mission is to streamline this business-to-business assessment, reducing human toil, and allowing organizations to work together safely and reliably. We employ modern AI techniques to organize vast amounts of unstructured data and compare them against policies to identify key risks to the business.
We serve customers across Fortune 500 companies in insurance, higher education, and finance — including five of the top 25 banks in the US.
Our proven leadership team brings deep experience:
- Clarence (CEO): Co-founder & former CTO of Unit21, a Series C fraud detection company that has raised ~$92M.
- Kao (CTO): Previously led the Stripe engineering team that launched Banking-as-a-Service.
We’ve raised $20M from world-class investors and our team of 20 have built important products at Google, Mapbox and Waymo.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Talk to our users, investigate their problems, extrapolate to the next generation of products that that are just beyond the horizon.
- Deeply understand the Coverbase platform, design features and user flows that delight users and play well with the existing product.
- Collaborate with the team to ideate and review plans.
- Utilize AI-tooling effectively to design UI, and implement the features across the stack (AWS infra, Python backend, React frontend).
REQUIREMENTS
- Strong foundations in software engineering: You can use Cursor to churn out 10K LoC PRs in a day, and have the discernment to review the code and toss out the slop.
- Excited about shipping fast and iterating later: You're a little impatient to see your work have an impact in days, not weeks or months.
- You have strong opinions that are weakly held: You're able to debate different points of view without getting too attached, and then soberly pick the best one.
WHY JOIN US?

- Founding-level Impact: As an early team member, you’ll shape not just the product but also our engineering culture and trajectory. Your contributions will directly influence our success and define how we grow.
