Location: Remote / Hybrid (NYC/SF)
Position Type: Full-Time / Contract (Flexible)
We're hiring a Staff Engineer to own Chariot's core funnel and payments: the path from the moment someone discovers they're owed money to the moment it lands in their account. You'll own the consumer-facing acquisition and claim-filing experience and the systems that move money to claimants. This is greenfield: you'll set the technical direction for the highest-traffic, highest-stakes surface we run, and build the team around it.
We're building a verticalized factory for claims: a system that turns corporate wrongdoing into recovery for everyday people, case type after case type. The core funnel is the front door to that factory: it has to be fast, experiment-driven, and trustworthy with people's money.
This role is perfect for someone who's analytical, creative, and execution-driven. You thrive in fast-paced environments, love rapid experimentation, and know how to take an idea from prototype to a production system the rest of the team can build on.
Bonus: if you've worked in a regulated industry such as legal, healthcare, or finance.
Chariot Claims is an AI claims agent that helps consumers get paid for every corporate violation impacting them: data breaches, privacy violations, antitrust, and more. We've processed 65,000+ claims, with projected consumer recovery of $75M+.
Chariot builds technology to challenge the status quo. We take bold swings at the system to ascertain truth from stories, even if that means drawing legal/PR fire from established actors who are territorial and profit from the status quo.
As operators, we pride ourselves on our ethics, resilience, and humanity. With each turn, we emerge smarter, better prepared, and with more insiders who share our mission to build a better system. We're already working with 20+ law firms, including several among the five most active complex litigation firms in the country.
Own a fast, high-conversion consumer funnel, built mobile web-first.
Run rapid experimentation across the funnel, tailoring the experience per case type.
Own claimant communications, evidence and signature collection, and dispute-resolution scheduling.
Own consumer payments and disbursements, where correctness, auditability, and trust are non-negotiable.
Contribute to shared platform foundations that make the whole team faster, including internal tooling, MCPs, and agent harnesses.
Recruit, vet, and grow the engineers on this team.
AI-native, not AI-assisted. You build with coding harnesses and agents in the loop every day, and you push the frontier of what they can do for the team.
You treat internal tooling as product. You build the MCPs, harnesses, evals, and human interfaces that make the whole team faster, for internal ops and external users alike.
You make product calls autonomously. You've shipped products end-to-end and can decide what to build and why without waiting to be told, then defend it with evidence.
Autonomous and collaborative. You run your vertical like an owner and still pull in the same direction as the rest of the company.
Experience building and shipping production software, at staff-level technical scope.
A track record of shipping products end-to-end: you've owned the outcome, not just the code.
Strong product instincts and a bias toward action; comfortable making informed product decisions on your own.
Early-stage experience (Series A or earlier).
You've built and grown a team, or are clearly ready to; you'll be hiring and leading from day one.
Bonus: experience with high-conversion consumer funnels and rapid experimentation; experience building or operating payments, ledgers, or other money-movement systems.
Stack: Go, TypeScript / React, AWS.
Massive greenfield to own the front door of the factory: the funnel and payments that get everyday people paid. Help scale holding corporations accountable (in an era of unchecked corporate greed and weakening regulatory oversight).
Competitive salary, equity, and benefits package in a fast-growing, high-impact startup.
Collaborative, smart, humble, mission-driven, high-vibes team that loves music.
2-4 off-sites per year in beautiful, cultural destinations; expenses covered for you and a +1.
Contingency-based platform for consumer lawsuits
Chariot Claims operates a legal-tech platform that makes it easier for consumers to join mass-action and class-action lawsuits against corporations. The platform automates the entire claims process—from identifying eligible cases and handling paperwork to connecting users with law firms and tracking settlements—so individuals can get paid when a settlement is reached. Users answer a few questions and connect relevant accounts to check eligibility instantly, while partner law firms gain a steady stream of qualified plaintiffs and help with administrative work. The service runs on a contingency-fee model, meaning it only earns money when a settlement is awarded. Chariot Claims has processed over 65,000 claims and works with more than 20 law firms. Its goal is to increase consumer participation in settlements and expand into new claim areas such as wage theft, housing fraud, and data breaches, broadening the impact of corporate accountability.
