About Feathery
Feathery automates data intake workflows for insurance and wealth management firms. Industry leaders rely on Feathery to power mission-critical workflows like underwriting, client onboarding, and automated account openings.
With rapid revenue growth and expanding enterprise demand, we’re scaling our engineering team to support increasingly complex, data-intensive workflows across our platform.
Why We’re Hiring
Feathery is building an AI-native product experience — from a conversational workflow builder that creates complex forms and logic on behalf of users, to intelligent document extraction and multi-LLM orchestration.
As our AI capabilities become central to the product, we're hiring a Full Stack Engineer to join the AI team and build these features end-to-end — from designing LLM-powered services and streaming APIs to crafting the interactive UI that brings them to life.
About The Role
This is a high-ownership role on the AI team which blends:
-
Working across the full stack to ship AI-powered product features
-
Building systems that orchestrate LLM agents, process documents, and generate workflows
-
Owning the frontend experiences that make them intuitive
-
Working across TypeScript services, Python APIs, React interfaces, and cloud infrastructure
You’ll zoom out to understand system architecture and zoom in to deliver polished, end-to-end product experiences.
What You’ll Do
AI Product Development
-
Build end-to-end AI features from backend services through to frontend UI
-
Design and implement LLM agent systems including tool use, planning, and multi-step execution
-
Develop streaming APIs (SSE) that power real-time conversational interfaces
-
Own features from concept through production, iterating based on user feedback
Backend Systems & AI Infrastructure
-
Build and scale TypeScript and Python services for AI orchestration and document processing
-

-
Design APIs and data models that connect AI capabilities to the core platform
Frontend Experience
-
Build responsive, interactive UIs using React and TypeScript
-
Implement real-time streaming interfaces for conversational AI features
-
Collaborate with design to create polished, accessible experiences
-
Contribute to frontend architecture and state management patterns
Cross-Functional Collaboration
-
Partner with product and design to define AI feature roadmaps
-
Integrate with the core platform team on APIs, data models, and SDK surfaces
-
Contribute to architectural decisions around agent design, prompt engineering, and system reliability
-
