About SafeLease
SafeLease builds and sells insurance products for commercial property owners. Our reinsurance and asset management businesses insure over 4,000 properties, 500,000 tenants, and have over $1B of AUM. Our team of technologists, agents, and underwriters simplifies complex risks to intelligently allocate capital and deliver policies quickly and affordably.
We focus on insurance products for the self-storage industry but are rapidly expanding our suite of services to other industries. We believe traditional commercial insurance can be distributed faster and cheaper. To do that, we’ve brought the entire insurance value chain—distribution, underwriting, and reinsurance—under one roof to drive innovation in an industry that’s ripe for change.
SafeLease is looking for a driven Full Stack Engineer. In this role, you’ll work across the entire stack building, testing, and shipping features. You'll collaborate closely with company leadership, playing a key role in solving high-impact technical challenges and shaping the future of our platform.
To drive our mission forward, this role will:
Contribute across the stack — Write clean, maintainable code across our platform with a focus on reliability, performance, and simplicity
Build customer-facing features — Collaborate with Product and Design to create intuitive, user-first functionality
Tackle technical challenges — Help debug issues, improve code quality, and strengthen system reliability
Focus on growth and learning — Take ownership of your work while being open to feedback and opportunities to grow as an engineer
Work collaboratively — Participate in code reviews, planning sessions, and team discussions to build shared understanding and alignment
Embrace iteration and improvement — Contribute ideas that help us move faster, build smarter, and work better as a team
You're a curious and resourceful builder who enjoys solving real-world problems through code. You’re eager to grow your technical skills, collaborate with others, and contribute to a fast-paced, mission-driven team.
Your experience:
2+ years of experience in full-stack software development with exposure to shipping real-world applications
Background in CS/EE, a coding bootcamp, or equivalent hands-on experience building production systems
Comfortable with Frontend (TypeScript, JavaScript, React), Backend (Node.js, Express.js, REST APIs), and Infrastructure (relational databases, Git, AWS) technologies
Willingness to learn and adopt best-in-class tools like Linear, Cursor, and other fast-moving AI-powered developer tools
Solid communication skills and a collaborative mindset—willing to ask questions, give input, and support your teammates
DevOps experience is a bonus, especially if you’re interested in understanding how code runs in production
Excited to work in-person or hybrid from our beautiful downtown Austin office
Why SafeLease?
The tech: Our prospects convert fast because we’re solving real problems and delivering serious value to commercial real estate owners.
The team: We’re a team of seasoned pros and sharp operators who know how to move fast and build smart. High standards, low ego.

If you don't have all the qualifications listed, don't worry! We understand everyone's career path is unique and still encourage you to apply if you feel this role is aligned with your career trajectory.
