Ascend

<div>
 What We Do
 
 
 Ascend is transforming the $10 trillion global insurance industry by combining AI automation with embedded fintech.
 
 
 While insurance represents 7.2% of global GDP, outdated financial infrastructure like PDFs, emails, and manual reconciliation continues to slow the industry down. Ascend is the first and market-leading finance automation platform built specifically for insurance, driving the industry's rapid digital transformation.
 
 
 In just three years:
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Trusted by thousands of insurance businesses nationwide
 </li>
 <li>

 How We Do It

As both software buyers and builders, we fully embrace this shift&mdash;it makes technology more powerful and accessible. However, businesses must also maximize monetization, and the future belongs to those that embed themselves into financial flows rather than simply selling SaaS.
 
 
 That's why AI + fintech is our edge&mdash;seamlessly integrating financial automation into transactions to create real, lasting value. Customers don't just buy software; they unlock powerful financial efficiencies with a 5&ndash;7x ROI.
 
 
 Why We Do It
 
 
 Insurance is a $10 trillion-plus industry running on legacy systems. AI alone won't fix it, but AI-powered automation embedded into payments and transactions will.

 </li>
 <li>
 Evolve our workflow engine (DAG/state machine): scheduling, retries/idempotency, rate limits, progress, logs, user-visible run history.
 </li>
 <li>
 Ship data pipelines and background workers (Celery/queues) with strong observability and alerting.
 </li>
 <li>
 Scale and harden on AWS + Docker (ECS/EKS or similar), adding Redis caching, pagination, backpressure, and cost controls.
 </li>
 <li>
 Implement features end-to-end: DB schema &rarr; API &rarr; UI, including tests and telemetry.
 </li>
 <li>
 Contribute to billing (Stripe), permissions/RBAC, and real-time UX (SSE/WebSockets) for run status.
 </li>
 <li>
 Hold a high bar for reliability, performance, and UX&mdash;instrument everything, measure, and iterate.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 You&rsquo;ll thrive here if you have
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Proven ownership: you&rsquo;ve shipped projects end-to-end (products, startups, open-source, freelancing, apps with users).
 </li>
 <li>
 Strong backend Python (FastAPI preferred): API design, testing, error handling, schema/versioning.
 </li>
 <li>
 Cloud + containers: deployed/operated with Docker and a major cloud (AWS preferred: ECS/EKS/Lambda, SQS, CloudWatch).
 </li>
 <li>
 Workflow/job systems experience: queues, retries, idempotency keys, scheduling, and run histories.
 </li>
 <li>
 Data stores: comfortable with Postgres schema design and Redis (caching, rate limiting, locks).
 </li>
 <li>
 Performance mindset: RSC/Server Actions, data-fetching patterns, bundle/TTFB tuning, DB query perf.
 </li>
 <li>
 Production observability: logs, traces, metrics (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Sentry, Langfuse) and pragmatic on-call.
 </li>
 <li>
 Security hygiene: PII handling, secrets, JWT/session auth, CSRF/CORS, least-privilege access.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Nice to have
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Next.js App Router, RSC, Server Actions, edge/runtime primitives (Vercel/CloudFront).
 </li>
 <li>
 Prisma/Drizzle; tRPC or GraphQL; Zod/JSON Schema; feature flags/experimentation.
 </li>
 <li>
 Real-time UX (WebSockets/SSE), optimistic updates, background revalidation.
 </li>
 <li>
 Celery/RQ, event sourcing, or state-machine libs (Temporal, Dagster, Prefect, XState).
 </li>
 <li>
 Stripe (subscriptions, metered usage, webhooks) and customer-visible billing pages.
 </li>
 <li>
 CI/CD (GitHub Actions), IaC (Terraform), lightweight cost/perf dashboards.
 </li>
 <li>
 Search/retrieval (OpenSearch/Elasticsearch) and simple relevance tuning.
 </li>
 <li>
 Testing: Playwright (e2e), Vitest/Jest, pytest; accessibility checks.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 How we work
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Ownership &gt; bureaucracy: small team, big impact.
 </li>
 <li>
 Speed with quality: ship, measure, iterate.
 </li>
 <li>
 Customer-obsessed: polish the details that matter.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Interview process
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Quick screening call (mutual fit + role context).
 </li>
 <li>
 Take-home assessment (focused, practical).
 </li>
 <li>
 Code walkthrough (discuss decisions, trade-offs, and improvements).
 </li>
 <li>
 In-person paid trial week (work with us on real problems; compensated).
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 What to include when you apply
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 A few links that show initiative and ownership: GitHub, product pages, demos, write-ups, or anything you&rsquo;ve shipped.
 </li>
 <li>
 A short note on a 0&rarr;1 project you led: goal &rarr; constraints &rarr; your decisions &rarr; outcome.
 </li>
 </ul>
