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.

We recently closed our seed round, are growing 30-100% month over month, and we're looking for a full-stack product engineer to be our first engineering hire. The ideal candidate has experience designing and shipping product features end-to-end in a fast-paced environment.
What will you get to build?
- Extensions to our core platform to integrate with additional carrier partners
- Improvements to our agent portal and API infrastructure
- A consumer portal to allow insureds to access their docs, make payments, and request policy changes
Our tech stack is primarily Scala (Finatra + Finagle!), Javascript (React + Retool), and Temporal.
come to say this. code complete is basically a free ticket to obtain 10 years of working experience in one go. I read it after 3 years of career, and still found the content insightful
I'd also add the mythical man month. being a programmer is good, but overspecializing as the technical guy cause a certain degree of blindness to other software requirements (cost, time, quality). some part of that books can't really work in today work environment because external constraint, like the surgical team, but every word of it is gold.
We've recently adopted Spark SQL and our queries run 5 - 200x times faster than with Hive.
Our experience with Spark Streaming, on the other hand, has been mixed. Our streaming app runs stably most of the time (up to 4 days in some cases), but we still see the occasional failure, sometimes with no exception or stack trace indicating what failed.
Our goal is to have a 24/7 streaming service, and Spark has gotten us close to that. There are just a couple of unexplained errors standing in our way.
