Annex Risk
Full-stack + Backend Engineer | Bay Area, Austin
hn · Bay Area, Austin
Jose is a strong full-stack and backend engineer with proven 0→1 product experience, deep expertise in FastAPI/Python/TypeScript, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes). His founding engineer background and ability to own architecture, infrastructure, and shipping decisions align well with Annex's early-stage scaling needs. However, he lacks direct domain experience in insurance, fintech transactions, or regulatory compliance, and his recent focus has been heavily on AI/LLM products rather than transactional systems.
Hook: Your need for a founding-stage full-stack engineer who can own infrastructure and ship fast matches Jose's background building production AI systems from scratch and scaling them globally.
Missing: Insurance domain knowledge, Fintech/transaction processing experience, Regulatory compliance (insurance/financial services), High-throughput transactional system optimization

Annex Risk | Full-stack + Backend Engineer | Bay Area, Austin | Full-time The cost of homeowners insurance, especially in natural catastrophe prone areas, has skyrocketed in recent years. Annex is solving this problem with better digital infrastructure for executing the transaction. Our platform enables insurance agents to quote and bind policies within 90 seconds vs. the current multi-day phone/email/fax-based transaction that is the status quo. We grew 4x in 2025 and anticipate similar growth in 2026. We've done the above after deploying <$1.5m in funding. We have significant and growing momentum on both the insurance distribution and insurance capital sides of our business; our challenge now is scaling our engineering team to support that progress. We're in that exciting early stage, where someone can contribute foundational new pieces to core parts of our platform.
