What we do
We provide savings on insurance premiums for commercial businesses that are leveraging modern technology on their worksites.

Our investors
To date, Shepherd has raised over $20M from leading investors, including:
Costanoa Ventures + Intact Ventures – lead our Series A round
And several more.

We're a team of technologists and insurance enthusiasts, bridging the two worlds together. Check out our team page to meet some of us!
About You
We're looking for a talented software engineer who's passionate about what we're building and ready to do the best work of their career. You thrive on ownership, drive results, and care deeply about both technical excellence and customer impact.
You would be our dream candidate if...
You aren't afraid of ambiguity, and it may even excite you
You enjoy shipping product every day (maybe multiple times a day) while maintaining high quality standards
You enjoy wearing multiple hats while solving problems; as an engineer, product manager, and designer
You take end-to-end ownership of features and systems, from conception through release
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've led or been a major contributor on significant projects
You have strong opinions, weakly held — you advocate for your ideas but adapt when presented with better solutions
You communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
You have experience working with Javascript/Typescript (backend and/or frontend)
You have at least 5+ years of working experience (preferably as a full-stack engineer) with a track record of delivering high-impact products
About the Role
Shepherd's platform consists of three primary elements: data collection, automated underwriting, and policy administration.
You will work with other engineers on developing Shepherd's AI product strategy
You will iterate and experiment on AI implementation across our platform
You will work across the stack, even across different disciplines (e.g. underwriting, design, product management)
You will play an integral role in building our culture as the company grows and mentor other engineers as we scale the team
You will balance innovation with pragmatic delivery — staying current with emerging tech while shipping quality products
You will contribute to product strategy and architectural decisions, not just implementation
You will collaborate closely with PM, Mo (CTO) and the insurance team (underwriters, actuaries and more!)
